Back in October, I was heading down Buford Highway, looking for dinner, when I put “ramen” in Google maps. It led me to Lan Zhou Ramen. Lan Zhou shares a parking lot with both Chef Liu and Supermercado Chicago (home of fantastic tamales at the counter in the back – and the best fresh masa […]
Hanging out in the city on a Saturday, for a change, it was creeping toward dinner time. I went on line for a couple of lists of pizza places to try and up came a recommendation for the Argosy. Located in East Atlanta Village, across the street from Elder Tree Pub, we arrived a little […]
Here’s a report from a recent visit to the Dunwoody location of Takorea, which is located in the middle of the Kroger parking lot at Chamblee-Tucker and 285. I’ve eaten there several times over the last two years, most recently when our daughter had her daughter at Northside – and we’d come to visit, with […]

Today’s lunch is at another spot sent to me from the pages of Garden N Gun – K&K Soul Food. (It’s like these pages speak to me – “if we fry it, you will come.”) K & K has been in business for fifty years, and I’ve been seeing it on one version of my […]
Yet another tip from the Garden n Gun Fried Chicken Bucket List, OJ’s Diner was noted for fried chicken that’s “moist, with super crispy skin.” Those four words were enough to draw me in. As we were heading south through South Carolina, a lunch stop in Greenville seemed in order. This is an old-school cafeteria […]
