I became intrigued with going to Chicken World when I first saw the big billboard on Hwy 278 advertising their chicken cheddar cheese fries. How can that combination not be excellent? On this Friday evening, it became our destination. When we arrived, right at 6:00, the place was completely empty. How odd. The walls were […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Ink & Elm is getting quite a lot of press of late – including the feature dining review in the “Best of” issue of Atlanta magazine and breaking into the eater.com “heat map” last month. We originally planned to go to Decatur on Saturday, with Sobban as our goal. But when […]
The venue for today’s lunch was determined when I remembered I had a remaining balance on a Buckhead Life gift card and we were heading toward Lenox. That narrowed the choice to either Corner Cafe / Buckhead Bread Company or the Buckhead Diner. As I didn’t recall ever having eaten at the former, the dye […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Only open about a month, the Smoke Ring caught my attention when I saw a new billboard for it on Northside Drive, just south of Hollowell Parkway. The name didn’t ring (pun unintended) any bells – I had seen nothing about in any of the food press, that I recalled. At […]
About two weeks back, I noticed Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams had appeared on the Eater.com “What’s Hot in Atlanta” list. Then Thursday night, one of my buddies mentioned that they were going to “go to there” this weekend. When we ended up in the Westside Provision District, as part of my ongoing quest for a […]
Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand is another of the places that I’d been intending to try for months and months. It seemed to take longer than normal to get this blog post written but it was a very simple explanation – I had accidentally deleted my photo of the signage. I had attempted to return on […]
I end up with an overnight in Midland / Odessa once or twice a year for work, which gives me a chance to catch up with a couple of friends that live there (to protect the innocent, I’ll refer to them as Altitude Boy and Pookie). This evening, when I asked where they wanted to […]
Yet another day of dining alone at lunch led me to Yuka Roll & Pho in Suwannee. I had eaten in the Thai restaurant at the other end of this plaza, but had never been to Roll & Pho. When I walked in, I was greeted by the two chefs behind the sushi bar (which […]
A couple of months back, I noticed BurgerFi when I was driving through downtown Kennesaw. I made a mental note to come back there, but almost immediately forgot about it. Then, last month, some of our friends mentioned that they had been there for lunch. They said that the burger was good so we thought […]
On the journey to south Georgia that brought us to the fabulous sign in my header (at the Dairy Ranch in Jesup), my original plan was to eat at the Rusty Pig in Glennville. I won’t recant the challenge here, but as you can read in that review, we couldn’t find it. As we were […]
