I had been intending on trying Bread & Butterfly for quite a while – ever since they popped onto my radar with Atlanta magazine’s best restaurants of 2016 early last year, in fact. A European-style bistro and cafe, it is from chef Billy Allin (of Cakes & Ale), and located in the fairly new Inman […]
Our daughter and son-in-law had told us about how good the breakfast and dinner were at Rising Sons a month or two back. When we were near Avondale Estates around dinner time, I made a bee line for the Tudor inspired downtown. Located just down the street from Pallolaville, there seems to be quite […]
For years, my dad and mom had a couple of friends that, on a random afternoon, would drive up and say, “Y’all want to go to Buckner’s?” And off they went – to Jackson (about an hour south of the Atlanta airport), for fried chicken that has been served up, along side I-75, for almost […]
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.
After an attempt to eat a burger at a place recommended by a friend (even though I had called them on Friday and asked if they were open on New Years’ Day – she must have answered for New Years’ Eve), we were looking for another option. From the list I found a recommendation from […]
Not realizing that there was a free New Year’s Eve concert in downtownNashville, we headed down to Broadway to grab some lunch. That explained the cordoned off streets and exorbitant parking (at noon). We found a paid lot next to the Ryman and walked down to Broadway in the drizzle. We turned the corner past […]
As I was heading to meet some folks in Vinings, I went back to the well of the original list, once again, and looked at the options. I found that Sushi Huku was on the list and on the way. While it has a Sandy Springs address, it is right there at Akers Mill and Powers Ferry […]
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 […]
