Maybe they’ve done market research and a lot of folks like walking into a place in being yelled at. It just reminds me of being at the office. Opening the door to a chorus of “welcome to Moe’s” is likely intended to be inviting, but it just seems forced. I did enjoy the humor of […]
My original plan for lunch today was to meet some fellow food bloggers at Tempo Doeloe, but the timing stars did not align, so I was forced to regroup. Since I was on my own and already contemplating Asian food, I headed toward Assi Plaza on Old Peachtree Road to see what I might find. […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I’ve been intending to eat at Big Tex Decatur, a sister restaurant to Fox Brothers barbecue, for several months. But it always seemed that when I was in Decatur, I was on the way somewhere else. When I saw them mentioned in a Tweet from @foxbrosbarbq yesterday, I made a determination […]
After reading a review in Atlanta Magazine about the wonders of the food court at Santa Fe Mall in Duluth, I had mentioned it to my daughter and her boyfriend, based on proximity to his house and her love for Latin American food. They had visited several weeks ago and talked about how tasty, and […]
I’ve been meaning to take my beloved to the Optimist since early this year. We’ve even gotten as far as having a reservation with another couple (that we ended up having to cancel). Last week, while enjoying lunch at the General Muir, we were talking about the Muir’s recent inclusion in the fifty finalist for […]
There was a time when the Farmhouse at Serenbe was one of the hidden “gems” of Atlanta. At the forefront of the farm to table movement, the Nygrens (along with a few others around town) were ushering in a new era of dining. Originally open only on Thursday – Saturday nights, it seems as if […]
I could have sworn that I had previously blogged about the Brake Pad, but looking back I have not. My sister-in-law and her family live in historic College Park and we seem to end up at the Brake Pad primarily with them, and generally while there’s a Georgia game on the TV (her husband is […]
In today’s episode our intrepid hero goes in search of chicken 65. Then he begins to ponder: If there is religious significance in the numerological naming?; and What the first 64 versions of the dish lasted like? Actually, this was a lunch meet up with some other Atlanta food bloggers (Grant from Marie, Let’s Eat, […]
After lunch at Tasty China, followed by a trip to IKEA, I felt the need for sweets on the way home. Driving through Home Park, stopping at Caffe Gio for gelato seemed like a great idea. Arriving close to 5:00, there was no one else there, although the tables on the patio showed signs of […]
Back in the beginning of my food quest, I carried around some paper lists in a plastic folder in the trunk. Among those was a printout from Atlanta magazine from 2006 (or 2007) with a list of restaurants, by area of town. One of the places that I remember from that list was Tasty China, […]
