It’s the week that ends in the third weekend in September, so our general answer to any question is, “I can’t. I’m going to Winfield.” Except when the question is, “what’s for lunch?” On the way westward, more often than not, the answer to that question is barbecue. We were on day two of the […]
There was a recent article in Texas Monthly (you can read a few free articles in TM per month – I try to make mine about barbecue) about the brisket boom in the Southeast. It referenced Lewis Barbecue (in Charleston, which we loved), others in SC and one Georgia spot – Slow Fire Barbecue, in […]
First thing to know – just because the name is Speed’s, don’t get any crazy ideas. Located in three (or four) trailers, down a dirt road, you pretty much have to know where you’re going to get there. When I arrived (around 6:15), I was a little early for dinner, as everyone else started to […]
For the last several months, one of my co-workers has asked, “Have you been to the Bando, yet?” And, every time she does, I remember reading about them on a list of “best wings in the ATL” and having to reply, “not yet.” But today was THE day. We had been up in Cumming early […]
As we were heading back to the Providence airport, after a visit to Newport, there was time for one more seafood stop. So I asked my friend, Mr. Google, where to find the best seafood, at lunch time, in Providence. And Dune Brothers Seafood appeared in the top five on several lists. Located on a […]
After an afternoon at Top Golf with our daughter and son-in-law, followed by some shopping, since we were already in town, it was time to head home. The original plan was to pick up some barbecue on the southside of 20, but, by not paying attention to Atlanta sports schedules, we found ourselves stuck in […]
Late last year, Atlanta Magazine published a list of the 75 “Best Restaurants” and gave me 30+ places we hadn’t been, to try. We were heading back across town and I gave my beloved two cuisines to choose from (Asian or Latin). Yes, this was a broad choice, particularly as we were pulling off 285 […]
In town for an anniversary weekend, I was looking for dinner options and the Pelican and the Pig kept appearing as recommended choice. 2019 Eater Nashville Restaurant of the Year being among them. So off to Resy I went and we were booked for an early dinner in East Nashville. Husband and wife chef team […]
After the grouper sandwich search found at FishMonger, the next sandwich on the list was from How Crispy Express. This former pop up, now in a storefront in Summerhill is just across the patio from Wood’s Chapel. I’ve seen the signage several times but never gone in. I’ve also browsed the menu on-line, several times, […]
Everywhere I’ve looked for the last several months, there’s been a social media reference to Fishmonger and their blackened grouper sandwich. The mention that put them on “my list” was their inclusion on the 2022 edition of Atlanta Magazine’s best restaurants list. This afternoon we were doing some Christmas shopping in town around lunchtime. I […]
