In my continuing exploration of near-work dining opportunities, today’s adventure took me to China Gate, in the shopping center just north of Mama’s Paradise. Not only did the signs in the window (at least the ones that I could read) offer cell phone service and cracked smart phone screen repair, but I assumed they also […]
Heading to Wednesday night journey group and looking for something different for dinner (as we weren’t rushing for a change), we got into Dallas and hadn’t yet picked a place. Choices, rapidly, became limited, so we stopped at Sal’s Pizzeria in downtown D. After deciding against pizza and on pasta, we placed our order. They […]
As I was down near Gwinnett Place mall and there’s such a plethora of restaurants nearby, I chose to ask someone who worked in the area where the best local place was. They recommended three – one of which I had been to, Honey Pig. I had heard of one other (What the Pho?, a […]
In the perpetual hunt for something new and good near the office, I drove just south of 120 on Satellite to see what was happening in that strip mall. I found that there is a new Indian street food place that is opening soon (Currylicious – love that name) next door to a place that […]
When I first started my food blogs in 2009 (I had two – one was purely for burgers and the other covered everything else), the mission was twofold: “Here’s the deal – the cheeseburger is the quintessential American food.

As part of an ongoing attempt to bring the Atlanta food blogging community together, the one who always says “Marie, Let’s Eat” invited several of us to meet them for dinner at Teela Taqueria. Arriving at 6:30 on a Sunday evening, we were joined by one half of Friday Date Night, Atlanta Restaurant Blog, Atlanta, […]
As I follow @cheffordfry on “the Twitter”, when I saw the tweet at the end of December that that they were looking for folks to test the kitchen at St. Cecilia, I jumped on the opportunity. He specifically said, “no critic, por favor”, and I mentioned that I was an amateur blogger in my e-mail. […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had eaten at Burnt Fork BBQ previously, a couple of years ago with some friends, but never got around to posting a review. Tonight, when heading towards Decatur (originally with another destination in mind, but being delayed by traffic) I realized where I was and ran in to grab some […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. In the course of a week, we’ve gone full circle, from New Years Day lunch in an Arby’s to first Saturday lunch in a former Arby’s. When we were driving toward the perimeter from New Years’ Eve dinner, we passed by the iconic hat-shaped building on Clairmont and I was reminded […]
Recently, when I went to Sugarloaf Mills, I saw that a new place had opened in the space formerly occupied by a defunct Mexican restaurant, Red Crawfish. I tried it back in early December, for the first time, and have returned several times since with some co-workers. Interestingly, it is the second Vietnamese-owned Cajun restaurant […]
