THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had seen a note on Eater Atlanta earlier this week noting that the Mercury had opened for lunch service in the last couple of weeks. From the team behind Decatur’s Pinewood Tippling Room, the Mercury (with a decor resembling the early 60s) is on the second floor of Ponce City […]
Atlanta Magazine just named the 50 best restaurants in Atlanta (see their article here). Below are links to our thoughts on 43 of them (with two more in draft mode), in case you want differing opinions. Cakes & Ale Tomo Restaurant Eugene Atlas Aria Gunshow Boccaluppo Little Bacch The General Muir Bones Miller Union Bacchanalia […]
Talay Thai Cuisine has become part of our regular lunch time rotation. Located in a strip mall, at the corner of Satellite Boulevard and Old Peachtree Road, they’re in a location that is about to get a BP next door. That will make an already challenging parking situation even more complicated. One of the guys […]
A couple of Fridays back, I saw a tweet from Belle Vivere of the lobster roll from Beetlecat and determined that we needed to get there soon. Seeing that they opened at 3:00 on Saturday, I figured we could wrap up an afternoon of in-town errands with a kind-of-early dinner, and we arrived around 5:30. […]
Yet Tuh came to my mind as we headed up Buford Highway on a Saturday afternoon. I had read a review about them in Atlanta Magazine, recently, which (basically) said that a meal at Yet Tuh is like Sunday lunch at your grandma’s house – provided that your grandma is Korean and can cook. […]
There was one more stop, for dinner, on this road trip, as we headed back to Atanta. And this one was in Homewood. Little Donkey popped onto my radar with an article about Good Eats in Garden N Gun in the spring of 2012. If you’ve been to Homewood in the last decade, there’s a […]
I’ve had Big Bob Gibson’s, in Decatur, on my list of places to go for years. They are the home of Alabama white sauce – We split a platter – chicken and pork with mac-n-cheese and baked beans. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of […]
While wandering the town of Decatur, AL, waiting for lunch, we were killing time and I found a music store. I drove past it and parallel parked around the corner. As we were getting out of the car, I saw we were parked directly across from CF Penn Hamburgers. Of course, I was intrigued. […]
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. Bunyan’s Barbecue.
Today was road trip Saturday, so we set out on the three and a half-hour drive northeast to Florence / Muscle Shoals. I had a few stops in mind, and we arrived at the first around 10:20 Central time. But since we had arisen prior to 7:00 Eastern, this was a perfectly acceptable time […]
