THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Located on 14th Street, just off the Georgia Tech campus, is a relatively new entrant to the Atlanta dining scene – Better Half, which started life as a supper club, Pushstart Kitchen. Husband and wife Zach and Kristina Meloy began this labor of love at the Goat Farm in 2011 and […]
A Friday night date-night visit to another place that’s been on “the list” for more than 10 years, 10 Degrees South. Advertising itself as Atlanta’s only fine dining South African restaurant, we made an early reservation and arrived to a restaurant which was being filled, literally, from the left. According to our extremely helpful […]
Heading back to DFW after some meetings, I was struck with the brilliant idea to swing by Pecan Lodge, for what are (potentially) the greatest burnt ends on earth. Tragically, they close at 3:00 on Wednesdays, so my hopes were dashed. My taste buds were now set for burnt ends, so I consulted the Texas […]
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 […]
We’ve eaten at other of the restaurants in the Tselios family of restaurants (Pasta Bella – I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about that place – and Casa Grande), but we have missed the three in Marietta. Tonight, we knocked one of those off the list with Marietta Fish Market. We were heading back […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. There was a recent Yelp email about the best pho places outside the perimeter (off Buford Highway) and I was shocked (SHOCKED, I say) that one of them was in Mableton. So tonight, when we were looking for a place to eat, and didn’t want to drive into “the City”, I suggested […]
Today’s dining adventure comes courtesy of an “only in your state” blog post shared by my wife, about interesting restaurants. So when we headed out for the day’s adventure in north Georgia, I determined that we would dine at the Ball Ground Burger Bus. We rolled into downtown Ball Ground (almost rolled through – one […]
Bub-Ba-Q is a place that popped onto my radar with an Atlanta Magazine article from July of 2010 which, after their ranking of the top 5 BBQ places, listed the other places they had tried, by county. This list was invaluable, providing places I had no idea about. Now Cherokee County isn’t a place […]
A few months ago, one of the fellows at a bluegrass jam mentioned that there was a Saturday morning jam at Stilesboro Biscuits. I had never heard of the place and put it in the back of my head for later. Several weeks later, I asked him about it again and he said that the jam […]
