Barbacoa street tacos St. Elmo’s Fire: Chicken, black beans, Monterey Jack cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeños all in a jalapeño-cheddar tortilla and deep fried or grilled to perfection. Served on a bed of Spanish rice then drizzled with queso and zesty red sauce.
You could say that this pho was just what the doctor ordered. Well, kind of. The last time I saw my GP, we were talking about my diet and he asked if I liked Asian food. I mentioned where we had eaten recently and he said no, you need to go here, instead, for Vietnamese […]
About two years back, we had dinner at Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse, at their original incarnation in Euharlee. We were in Cartersville the weekend after the 4th of July and looking for lunch, when I remembered that they had moved. We headed over, late in the lunch hour, and found a fairly empty restaurant.

Fourth of July morning was atypical for us. For the last seven years, we’ve walked the South’s largest road race – the Peachtree Road Race. But neither of us was really feeling it this year, so we passed. That allowed us to sleep in and then we headed out for brunch. I searched Open Table […]
We had a meal (or three or four) at Illegal Food back in 2014 and 2015 when they were a popup kitchen at Joystick, but we had not been to their actual location. Today, when we were in town on a Saturday without plans, I decided it would be “big” burgers for lunch. Off to […]
As I planned a trip to Myrtle Beach, I realized that Columbia was about midway – and I had recently heard about Bernie’s Fried Chicken. I had thought about stopping on the way up, but that was on Sunday – the one day of the week they are closed. We were heading home on […]
For the last eight years, I’ve been wanting to eat barbecue at Scott’s Variety. But it is slap dab in the middle of nowhere – 80 miles north of Charleston and 100 miles east of Columbia. Not to mention more than 300 miles from home… I just couldn’t find an excuse to get there. The […]

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 […]
