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 […]
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.
Great Sichuan – Duluth, GA (Quick Bite)
In early July, I saw a review of Great Sichuan in the AJC, a relatively new Szechuan restaurant in John’s Creek. They serve both Chinese-American and Szechuan dishes. I ordered the Shan City Spicy chicken, which is my litmus test for a Szechuan place and it was spot on. Spicy enough to enjoy it, but […]
City Barbecue and Catering – Suwanee, GA
I was heading to a meeting with some folks in John’s Creek and noticed City Barbecue about three weeks before I had the chance to stop in. It’s about twenty minutes from the office, so on a quiet Friday, I headed that way for lunch. Initially, I was surprised that I hadn’t heard about a […]
Chinese Dhaba- Norcross, GA
Looking for something different for lunch one day, I wandered into the culinary-culturally diverse strip mall off Breckinridge. I had been to most of the older restaurants there, at least once, but saw a new one, since last I visited – Chinese Dharba. Their catch phrase “Chinese Food – Indian Twist” caught my eye. One […]
Off the Hook – Lawrenceville, GA
One day, while roaming southern Gwinnett county looking for lunch, I wandered by Off the Hook, on Lawrenceville Highway. In a shopping center, near a Jamaican restaurant that originally lured me in to the parking lot, you have to be careful and not end up at the Aldi, behind it. On my first visit, I […]
