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 […]
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 […]
Dreamland Barbecue – Duluth, GA
The newest location of Tuscaloosa’s Dreamland Bar-B-Que opened in the renovation of downtown Duluth’s Parson’s Alley, last summer. The northeast side of town has been without a Dreamland since the Peachtree Corners location burned down several years ago. At one time, there were three Atlanta locations – with the opening of this one, there are […]
Thank U Chicken – Duluth, GA
Thank U Chicken appeared out of nowhere (to me) on the Garden ‘N Gun Fried Chicken Bucket List. And it’s just down the road from the office. A lunch visit was definitely in order. I went in on a rainy Thursday, and appeared to be the first person in the restaurant. I knew I […]
Viande Rouge – Duluth, GA
I was heading into Atlanta from the office one evening for a concert and looking for a place to eat in between the two. I have had Viande Rouge Steakhouse on my list for a while, but it’s a long haul back to Duluth for dinner, so I never seemed to make it. Tonight, eating […]
Uncle Jack’s Meat House – Duluth, GA
In a space that most recently was Cotton and Corn, at the office, we’ve been watching the anticipated opening of Uncle Jack’s Meat House. We eat next door (technically next door to next door), at Vinny’s, frequently and we heard, all summer, that they were opening in a couple of weeks. This is the first […]
Yami Japan – Lawrenceville, GA
While I’m always on the hunt for some place new, today I was originally heading to Kingston 30, one of the Jamaican restaurants near the office. But then I saw Yami Japan at the other end of the strip mall. The $6.99 hibachi lunch special lured me in. It’s a very simple setup, with the […]
