Mission + Market was a “double-find”, for me, in the same week: first I saw it appear on the Eater.com Atlanta “hot list” and then, one of my friends, who lives in Buckhead, was telling me about a great new place that had opened in his neighborhood. When we were making in-town dinner plans with […]
8/15 11:45 On day two of my Dallas trip, I was meeting a friend for lunch. What would we have? Barbecue. We tried to find a place, that was both open on Wednesday and that neither of us had been to previously and he gave me two choices: I opted for Ferris Wheeler’s Backyard & […]
Flying into Dallas for business, I landed about 11:30, which meant I was just in time for lunch. Heading from the airport to downtown, there are a plethora of options, but I was thinking about the “one that got away”. A couple of years back we went to the Texas State Fair to eat […]
A couple of months back, a co-worker left a review, from the AJC, on my desk of Snackboxe Bistro. I was intrigued after reading it and added it to the list. So, on a Sunday morning, we went for brunch. My beloved started with some Thai tea, while we decided. And some spring rolls She […]
Barbacoa taco Tamale rojos con puerco Pupusa 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.
Coming home from a cross-Tennessee drive on the “World’s Longest Yard Sale” (check it out – 690 miles of yard sales, from Gadsden, AL to Addison, MI), we hit Chattanooga, just in time for a late dinner. Several months (maybe years) back, I heard from a friend who moved to Chattanooga about Southern Star. We […]
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I love hot chicken. If you haven’t – I do love hot chicken. We’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for Hattie B’s to open for months – along, apparently, with a lot of other Atlantans. Earlier this month, the wait ended. In fact, […]
Heading down to the Middle East (of Alabama), we were rolling down I-85 and realized that we were running out of choices, rapidly, for lunch (if we wanted to eat soon) when I remembered seeing a sign about chili dogs last time we went to Pine Mountain. Nearing 185, I saw the sign for Charlie […]
As we were heading towards the heart of Buckhead, I was, as always, looking for a new place to eat. When we reached our shopping destination, I mentioned a couple of spots to my beloved and she was over-thrilled by none of them. I made the decision, and headed back down West Paces Ferry to […]
Coming back from a few days out of town, we were confronted with “the lunch question”. Instead of being met with a quizzical look when I asked, there was a definitive response – “How about that place with the great bean burger, that’s drive through only?” I knew she was talking about Mix’d Up Burgers […]
