One of the signs of a good meal is that while you’re eating it, you’re already thinking about who you can bring back. That’s what happened today, at lunch, at Big Sky Buckhead. Halfway through the meal, we were talking about a return trip and who we should bring with us. I have had Big […]
I remember reading about the opening of Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall in the Old Fourth Ward several weeks back with a story about their whole pig roast, related to a celebration along the Atlanta Beltline (at mile 9.25). Today, before heading to the Georgia Tech game, I stopped by for a late lunch, parked […]
Decades ago (pre-kids), we used to hang out in Little Five Points on the weekends (with all the suburban-wanna-be-punk-rockers) and one of the spots that we frequented was Architectural Antiques, housed in the Victor H. Kriegshaber House, which was built in the early 1900s. At that time, it was an antiques store full of pieces […]
This Sunday’s morning episode of “what do you want to eat?” is brought to you by “where can we make a reservation that isn’t a barbecue restaurant?” I was looking for someplace that was billed as farm-to-table and the reviews of Trace seemed to fit that bill. As I was pulling up the address, I […]
One day you look around and you realize that you’ve never said a word about someplace that you may eaten at all of your life. So, here goes. First, it’s Zesto – not Zesto’s, as most people (including me) say. They’ve been open, in Atlanta, since 1949, with four locations here (and one in Tyrone) […]
My buddy, David, has told me several times how good the doughnuts are at Dough In the Box, but I never seemed to be by there when they were open (Tuesday – Sunday 5:00 am – 2:30 pm). Today, after a check up over near Cobb hospital (now that the midnight-to-appointment-time-fast was over) was the […]
We had eaten at the Hil on the Hill a couple of times since it opened in 2007, but had not been in several years. Every time that we had been before, we had remarked as we left that we wondered if it would still be open the next time that we went to Serenbe, […]
I don’t remember where I first heard of Victory Sandwich Bar (possibly the Eater 38), but when we were looking for lunch heading from the southeast quadrant of 285 to downtown, Decatur seemed like a convenient stop. We headed into downtown Decatur, found a place on the street to park and walked into a nearly […]
Located in Ansley Park, I’ve driven by the cottage that is home to Atmosphere French Restaurant dozens of times, but I’ve never stopped in for dinner. It’s been on “The List” since 2006, but rarely do I get a hankering for French food, so it hasn’t risen near the top. In a recent conversation with […]
“You don’t disappoint.” That’s definitely a good start to a conversation when you get back into the car after a meal. Confession time: I’m fifty years old and have never had dim sum. As an extremely suburban child, in a town with no Chinese restaurants, it was one of those exotic ideas that you saw […]
