Arriving in DC mid-morning for an early afternoon meeting, the top thing on my agenda was lunch. I checked one of my lists (100 Places to Eat Now – Southern Living, August, 2013) and found six places in the District. Three of those appear to be open for lunch and one is close to my […]
As we were leaving church on Sunday morning, we saw my nephew and his wife in the parking lot and they mentioned that they were heading to the Big Shanty Festival in Kennesaw that afternoon. We hadn’t heard of the festival, or planned to go, but Jo was curious and I thought that there might […]
Let me preface this blog post by saying that it’s easier for us to eat in the city of Atlanta than it is to eat in Roswell. It may actually be easier to eat in Chattanooga or Birmingham. There’s just not a good way to get there from Paulding County. It takes FOREVER. Nevertheless, today […]
Back in the “old days”, which for the purposes of this post were the early 90s, we used to eat at a Tanner’s Chicken, at the corner of Indian Trail Road and Highway 29. In fact, we ate there quite a lot. Primarily because one of our sales guys ate nothing but steak or chicken […]
Today’s chorus of “looking for lunch in all the wrong places” took me up 120 toward Lawrenceville. Just about to cross 316, I saw Trigos Colombian Restaurant off to my right, made a quick left, then a u-turn and caught the light into their complex. Trigos is located in a development that’s roughly a third […]
On another lone-wolf Wednesday, my quest for food took me south on Buford Highway. As I was driving and looking for a place, I recalled having seen Don Pedro (Real Mexican Food) about two weeks ago, while going elsewhere, and the parking lot was absolutely packed. And packed with trucks (that’s always a good sign). […]
For Saturday night , we had a change of times for dinner, necessitating a change of locations. Horseradish Grill won the coin toss. I’ve known of Horseradish Grill for years but, for whatever reasons, we’ve never been. Arriving about 6:30, we were surprised at how empty it was. And even moreso that we were seated […]
Today’s adventure takes us to the Chat and Choo (See what they did there? Choo versus Chew? It’s across the street from the railroad tracks), downtown in the City of Riches. In case you didn’t know, Villa Rica was the home of Georgia’s first gold rush, in 1826. As we parked and were crossing US […]
In another episode in what has apparently become a continuing quest for a good sandwich, today I went to Café 49. I had eaten here several years ago, when it was called Magnolia’s on a fairly regular basis. Inside, it hasn’t changed much since then, except there is a coat of nondescript brown paint on […]
Out roaming on my own again at lunch time, I headed up to Suwanee Town Center, thinking that there must be a couple of places there that I had not yet tried. One of the first “new-to-me” places I saw was Brown Bag Deli & Cafe and my decision was made. I parked in front […]
