I’ve driven by the Rib Ranch for at least twenty years – it’s in a really awkward spot on Canton Highway, just east of I-75 that I am fairly certain that you cannot make a left into when heading east. Or a right out of when you’re leaving. There was a write-up about them in […]
On a beautiful Saturday evening, as we were heading back toward home, I tossed out a couple of options for dinner of places that I wanted to try. The answer was “whichever one is open now”. At a little before five, from the three choices I gave, the intersection was zero. But Craft Izakaya did […]
Souper Jenny is another place that has been on my list for a decade. But the location that put them there, in Buckhead, on West Andrews and only being open for lunch Monday – Saturday made them really hard to get to. Souper Jenny’s four Atlanta locations are part of Planet Jenny – […]
With a meeting down town that ran through my typical lunch hour, by the time that it was over I was building a ferocious hunger. Some one had recently told me how much they enjoyed the deep dish, Chicago-style pizza at Nancy’s, on Ponce. I was heading north from downtown on Piedmont and made […]
Earlier this week, when talking about taquerias, someone mentioned how much their son was enjoying Bartaco on the Westside. I made a mental note and when looking for lunch, I plugged in their address and off we went. To say that this was not what I was expecting was a gross understatement. It wasn’t […]
I remember that the first review I read of Atlas was one of the last that John Kessler wrote before he left town last summer and he raved, particularly, about the artwork. He even upgraded the star rating based on the masterpieces on display. I kept it in mind as a place to go on […]
The third (and final) stop on the Bankhead Highway Barbecue Run was unscheduled (I was heading to Tallapoosa – guess I’ll save that for a part two) and involved a u-turn after catching a small sign saying “barbecue” out of the corner of my eye. On a hilltop, and not really visible from the […]
Stop number two on the Bankhead Highway barbecue run was at Jones Bar-B-Q in Temple. According to Trip Advisor, Jones Bar-B-Q is the seventh best restaurant in Temple – it’s just ahead of Wendy’s, Subway and McDonald’s. The bar, in Temple, does not appear to be particularly high. There is another Jones Bar-B-Q: Jones Bar-B-Q […]
Evans Barbecue Company is a fairly new entrant to the west Georgia barbecue scene. If I recall correctly, there used to be another ‘cue joint in the curve on Bankhead as you come into Villa Rica, in this exact same spot. The newness and difference from other West Georgia barbecue places stands out in […]
Looking for a quick bite on Thursday as I headed around the top-end perimeter, I jumped off at Roswell Road, certain I’d find something. And I did – local chain El Taco Veloz. They have five locations in the metro area and one in Gainesville. Just south of 285, this location is near the […]
