Narobia’s Grits and Gravy – Savannah, GA
I’ll start this by saying, if I owned this place, the name would be Narobia’s Gravy & Grits. The grits were good. But the gravy was absolutely banging. This was the third attempt to try Narobia’s – the first time we went, they were closed on that day and the second time, they were closing […]
Crossing Bridge Rice Noodle – Duluth, GA
Today’s lunch adventure is brought to you by the Eater Atlanta article “11 Essential Chinese restaurants in Atlanta”. As I am always looking for choices and trying to find someplace new, I looked for those, on their list (which I had already incorporated into mine) around the office. They had a 10 Second Rice […]
Eating Americana – Peachtree Corners, GA
The chicken was excellent, juicy and piping hot, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The skin was crisp and the seasoning on the chicken was deceptively simple and represents chef James Chien’s love affair with American comfort food. In a great review in Eater Atlanta, Lia Picard’s tells chef’s story, so I’d refer you […]
Dicky Doo’s Diner – Lawrenceville, GA
Like many lunches, today’s journey began with a quick Google search. I put in “barbecue restaurants near me” and perused the results. Forgetting that my company is in Duluth, I found that eight of the first nine entries were Korean barbecue – not exactly what I had in mind. The one that was not, was […]
The Slutty Vegan – Duluth, GA
For the last two plus years, I’ve continuously heard about / read about Pinky Cole’s Slutty Vegan. The original location, on Edgewood, has had lines out the door every time we’ve been by. And since, frankly, I am a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore, I wasn’t too excited about standing in line to eat vegan food. I had […]
Birrieria Landeros – Duluth, GA
Looking for lunch on a Thursday, I saw a new sign on what used to be Curry-licious, for Birreria Landeros. Going in, I recognized the tables and bar, but the wall art and vibe was very different. I was the only person there, so the young man asked me if I wanted some music or […]
El Salvador Bakery II – Lawrenceville, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
TDT BBQ – Mableton, GA (Photo Blog Post)
For the second time in the last six weeks, I saw a reference to TDT Barbecue in an on line article (this one from Eater.com about the best gas station food in Atlanta.) New Year’s Eve was the day to give it a try. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I […]
