The chicken was excellent, juicy and piping hot, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The skin was crisp and the seasoning on the chicken was deceptively simple and represents chef James Chien’s love affair with American comfort food. In a great review in Eater Atlanta, Lia Picard’s tells chef’s story, so I’d refer you […]
Last year, Tio Lucho’s popped onto my radar, in an article about 75 restaurants that you needed to try in Atlanta. A couple of month’s back, when we went to Fishmonger, I saw it across the street and thought about trying to go for a “double lunch”, but the timing did not work on that […]
This restaurant does not accept cash. Earlier in the week, I saw an article in Eater Atlanta about a new barbecue place that had opened on the west side, Owens and Hull, and thought to myself, I’ll have to try that soon. I had actually thought about driving over one day for lunch, from […]
Like many lunches, today’s journey began with a quick Google search. I put in “barbecue restaurants near me” and perused the results. Forgetting that my company is in Duluth, I found that eight of the first nine entries were Korean barbecue – not exactly what I had in mind. The one that was not, was […]
I’ll start this review off with a statement – this restaurant is cashless. This is a (sadly, not) new trend, that I will begin to track. Some places are great about letting you know their payment policies, others not so much so, so I’ll be adding that upfront to future reviews and updating older ones […]
This restaurant “does not accept cash”. It took almost three years for D Boca N Boca to open. And I’ve been watching the space for most of that time. You see, I’m a sucker for authentic Mexican food. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve got nothing against well done strip-mall “Dos-Burros-Amigos-Fiesta-Loco” Americanized-Mexican food, but that’s […]
Several months ago, there was an article about the best pizzas in the ATL and Nashville-based Slim + Husky’s appeared on it, and to me. Like everything else that catches my stomach’s eye, I put it on “the list” and waited for the right time. So, on a drive home on Friday evening, I ordered […]
Here’s a great recap article from Eater Atlanta. And below are links to our visit to 3 of the 5 awarded a star (the other two are on “the list”. Atlas Bacchanalia – wow! This was over a decade ago! Hayakawa
In a recent Facebook tease for the best pizza in Atlanta, a couple of a new (to me) places appeared. So, when my beloved said “why don’t you bring something home for dinner?”, that list popped into my mind. Realizing that Firewall was right off 20, a decision was made. From their website, it was […]
Finishing up our trip home from the happiest place on earth, we were going to hit Birmingham in time for a late lunch. As close as home-base is to B’ham, I keep a pretty broad list of what’s happening food-wise there. By that I mean and I get several newsletters specific to food in Central […]
