A barbecue place that opens at 7:00 am, and doesn’t sell “breakfast foods”? I’m in. Open for 114 years (Yep – you read that right – one hundred and fourteen years!) and run by the fourth generation of the Jones family, this may be the oldest BBQ spot in the country. Located in a neighborhood, […]
As we continued the journey, barbecue stop number two was Central B-B-Q, in Memphis. I didn’t realize until I went out to take a picture of the sign that we were one block from the Lorraine Motel and the National Civil Rights Museum. We visited this a decade or so ago, and it is powerful […]
Stop number one on the Eclipse barbecue scramble was A&R Bar-B-Q on Elvis Presley Blvd. Located on the end of a strip mall in an unassuming storefront, you’re confronted with the counter as soon as you walk in. The first thing I noticed was the happy hour frozen drink specials. This is a ‘cue place […]
For the last 10 years, I’ve had Westside Bar-B-Que (& Cakes) in New Albany, Mississippi, on my list. And we’ve driven thru New Albany at least twelve times, over those years. But we were never there on the right day. We always are driving thru on Wednesday or Monday, going to or from the Walnut […]
Months back, I heard about the family owned and operated El Autentico Sinaloense Pollo Asados, on Buford Highway, as a place we needed to try. We actually attempted to go there, I think on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and they weren’t open, so they stayed on “the list”. This Saturday, we were heading to town […]
Meeting some colleagues for lunch and looking for someplace new, north of Buckhead, I suggested we meet at Tum Pok Pok, on Buford Highway. From owner Adidsara Weerasin, the food focuses not on traditional Americanized versions of Thai food, but rather Thai street food and the cooking of the Isan (northeastern) region. The foods there […]
In a listing of best sandwiches in Atlanta, the Po’ Boy Shop appeared. It actually had appeared before me on three occasions, when I had tried, unsuccessfully, to get a Cuban sandwich next door at Buena Gente, but I had looked past it. On a Sunday afternoon, looking for something to carry home for dinner, […]
Today’s lunch adventure is brought to you by the Eater Atlanta article “11 Essential Chinese restaurants in Atlanta”. As I am always looking for choices and trying to find someplace new, I looked for those, on their list (which I had already incorporated into mine) around the office. They had a 10 Second Rice […]
On the day after Christmas, at a near-deserted CODA Collective food hall, we made our way to Humble Mumble. Chef Justin Dixon‘s restaurant, named after his favorite Outkast song, had been on my radar, since seeing it on an eater Atlanta list of the best sandwiches in Atlanta. But they’re only open from 11 AM […]
In case it wasn’t happening where you live, brunch was “the thing” in 2023 in the ATL. New places were popping up all over, most with long waits on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Erika Council’s Bomb Biscuits has been at the top of the breakfast heap since opening on North Highland Avenue in 2022. Known […]
