About two months ago, our daughter was telling us about this wonderful new place that had opened around the corner from them that was like Asian fondue. When we were visiting today, and arrived just before lunch, she suggested that we try Splendid Shabu. We entered a restaurant that was about half filled with tables […]
I had not heard of Mamak until I saw Bill Addison’s article before Christmas about where he refers folks to go to when they ask him where to eat in Atlanta. So last week, when Grant asked if we’d like to meet them and Leslie there on Sunday night, I queried she-who-keeps-the-calendar and then said […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I’d like to start this post with a big “thank you” to Atlanta Magazine. In August of 2006 you published “101 Favorite Restaurants” (which was actually 124) and gave eating out a goal. You see, I’m a goal oriented guy and “checking things off a list” works for me. More than […]
Sometime after Christmas, I was told that I was in charge of New Year’s Eve plans for our party of six. I immediately went to Google looking for options, then searched open table for available reservations. One of the options that came up was for Union Hill kitchen in Chamblee. We had seen executive chef […]
Last month, when we visited Fred’s Meat and Bread, while we were in line Jo was eying the menu and counter at Yalla, a fast-fresh Mediteranean / contemporary Israeli foodstand. Yalla is a next door neighbor and sister restaurant to Fred’s, and another restaurant from Todd Ginsberg. The menu is quite simple – you can […]
Since our first visit to Thai Mango, back in September, we’ve eaten there a dozen times or more, and introduced friends and family. A relatively new entrant to the Hiram dining scene, it’s located on the east end of the Hiram retail corridor as you head west on 278 toward the intersection with Highway 92, […]
Every since the visits to Bojhanic and Cardamom Hill, I knew that the next time that we went out for Indian, Chai Pani would be the place. Originally opening in Asheville in 2009 (thinking back three or four years, I remember having Chai Pani recommended to me by a vegetarian friend of mine), a couple […]
Kimball House had been on my short list for many months before Southern Living named it the best new restaurant in the South in August of 2014. Since they don’t take reservations, I knew that getting a table would be even more of a challenge after the article came out. For our anniversary, as a […]
We were heading from Little Five Points toward Midtown, down Dekalb Avenue, when the need for lunch beckoned. Originally planning to look for Thai (for the fourth time this week*), as we turned onto Krog Street, I remembered having read about the market just opening. We parked a couple of blocks away and walked back, […]
