Heading south from Brunswick back to the Jacksonville airport down I-95, we were looking for a spot for dinner. I’d originally Googled and found a place called Willi Jewels Old School Barbecue in Kingsland, and we were heading in that direction. As we headed east on State 40 my co-pilot said, “there’s a barbecue place […]
Heading downtown to a show at the Fox, we were planning on an early dinner and I wasn’t sure where to go. In the process of deciding, I realized that I’d never written about Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. Decision made. I’m sure most that will read this know the story of the Fox brothers, but just […]
For Mother’s Day, we headed over to Emory Village with our youngest and her boyfriend, for brunch at La Tagliatella. We had originally considered a visit to La Tagliatella when we were downtown several months ago, at their midtown location. I discovered, when I was writing this blog post, that the midtown location closed at […]
Sitting on the couch, indecisive about dinner, I threw out two choices, each of which were received with equal indifference. So we headed west, originally considering a visit to J&W BBQ, but not wanting to fight the construction traffic on I-20. We ended up, instead, at Iron Horse Station, in a building we had eaten […]
I first noticed Currylicious a little over three months ago when I visited Mama’s Paradise and saw the “Opening Soon” sign. The catchy name, along with the “Homestyle Indian Cooking” tagline intrigued me. Our initial visit was on a Friday, the day after they opened and they were slammed. They have an introductory price on […]
It was an unusual lonewolf Monday as I set out for lunch today. On most Mondays I have at least someone else in the office to dine with. So I headed up towards Suwanee looking to see what I might find. I found Cinco Mexican Cantina (part of a local four location chain in North […]
I understand not taking reservations. – sometimes people don’t show up and you end up with empty tables. It’s purely a restaurant’s prerogative. But, if you don’t take reservations, at least be accurate in your estimated wait times. Don’t make me wait two to three times as long (45 minutes) as you tell me (15 […]
When you walk into an Asian restaurant and the Asian patronage percentage is less than 8%, that’s never the best sign about the authenticity of the food. And when the signage on the street advertises it as a Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean Asian Grill, you wonder if it’s a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none kind of place. But, what […]
When we were looking for a place to have lunch on Good Friday, Jo told me to find a place that I was interested in trying. Varasano’s Pizzeria has been on my list since April of 2010, when they were listed in the pizza section of the Cheap Eats issue of Atlanta Magazine, but we […]
When I opened up “the lists” to find C F Folks earlier in the day, I took note of the other five District options, and before I headed to lunch I looked about making a dinner reservation. But here’s the delimma – OpenTable (my go-to food planning site) won’t let you make a reservation for […]
