When the Trip Advisor article proclaiming Georgia the new barbecue capital came out earlier this year, there were three places listed in the state that I had never heard of. I made note of all three, and knocked one off the list the last time we were in the north Georgia mountains. I saw that […]
As the Holiday weekend approached, Grant e-mailed and asked if we were going to be in town for the weekend and might want to meet he and Marie and have dinner. We compared notes of places that neither had been, and decided on Baraonda Ristorante & Bar. The name was on my list, but I […]
It was during our visit to the Greater Good in Tucker a couple of weeks back, that we determined exactly where we would have our 4th of July ribs. You see, ever since the 4th of July rib incident of 2012 (the entire experience is detailed in the footnote to this post), we’ve made plans […]
Housed in the old Atlanta and West Point railroad station, I have seen H Harper Station several times as we headed off the Glenwood Avenue exit toward Memorial over the last couple of years. And I remember having read about them in several different magazines over the last year, being particularly intrigued by their Kentucky […]
Revolution Doughnuts and Coffee just turned two on National Doughnut Day, according to the “Happy Second Birthday to Us” banner in the restaurant, and we just made it there? Seriously? One of my buddies has been talking about them for months. Maybe more than a year, but we never seemed to be in Decatur before […]
The first words when we got back into the car after lunch? “Unlike most barbecue places you take me to, this actually was delicious.” That’s high praise, being sung shortly after high noon. After a morning spent walking up and down Stone Mountain, we were ready for lunch and my eyes had been set […]
Arriving in Metairie for a meeting, I was surprised when they asked me what I wanted to do for lunch. Because, as always, when there was food involved, I did have a plan. Before I left, I looked on my list, for places near where we were going to be, and found Bozo’s in the […]
LPC (La Pietra Cucina) is a place that I’ve had on a list for several years, but never visited. Today, as I was heading back toward the office from a meeting downtown, I realized that I had time to stop in for a bite. It was a late lunch, on a Monday, and I had […]
Jo had mentioned Cebo e Beve (which, according to our waiter is Italian slang for “grub and beverage”) as she had seen them on 11Alive as a server of Springer Farms chicken, when we had been eating at Ammazza the weekend before. As we were looking for some place new for lunch that we could […]
Warning – this is a really long blog post, it may became the first chapter of my attempt at the Great American Novel… Two months ago, on a visit to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams with some friends, I took the opportunity to walk down the stairs at Westside Provision District to see about making a […]
