THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I saw, several months back that Curly’s Fried Chicken had appeared on the site of the defunct Leroy’s Fried Chicken on Howell Mill. One Saturday while we were roaming around the city, I decided to grab some carry-out for dinner before we headed back to the suburbs. The first thing I […]
On a Saturday morning, as we lazed around the house, we decided to head toward the city for brunch. I consulted Open Table looking for a spot, and grabbed a noon table for two at Watershed. We’ve been fans of Watershed for years, but we hadn’t been since they moved downtown. We actually drove by […]
In the same Southern Living’s Georgia Living insert that listed their “10 Favorite Burger Spots”, and that sent me to A & A Restaurant & Convenience in Allentown, they mentioned two spots in Savannah, Crystal Beer Parlor and Green Truck Pub. It appeared that the Green Truck was the closest to our travel path, but […]
As I’ve said before, the genesis of this blog was the quest for the perfect burger. I’m always asking folks, after I meet them, “where is your favorite burger in your home town?”. And people are often sending me links or articles when they hear about a great burger. One of Jo’s friends gave her […]
Several weeks ago, a friend of ours from Journey Group told me that we needed to try out John’s Biscuits & Pizza. With a name like that, how could it be a bad choice? Sure, you wouldn’t (probably) want biscuits and pizza together (I don’t know that I’ve ever tried it), but, separately? Two perfectly […]
When a friend and I decided that we were meeting for lunch on Tuesday, he let me pick the place. With his office at Ashford-Dunwoody and mine in Duluth, there isn’t a whole lot that is equi-distant. I remembered seeing something about Crawfish Seafood Shack in Atlanta magazine and in an edition of Marie, Let’s […]
As we headed downtown for another wedding shopping venture (IKEA, this time), I saw that we’d be near Richard Blais’ latest enterprise, the Spence. I’ve reviewed a couple of his other places (Flip and HD1) and we decided to give this one a try. The Spence is part of the Concentrics Group, most of which […]
Over the last couple of years, the city of Duluth has gone through a resurgence. On the corner near where the train depot used to stand is what appears to be a refurbished gas station – roll up bay doors and all. Now most all of this was built in the last two years, but […]
So another day rolls around and I’m the only member of my lunch crowd that’s “in the office”. Not in the mood for the any of the regular spots, I open up my “lists” to see what is near the office. Every restaurant on the list appears to be Asian and I’m just not in […]
Holy Taco has been on the list of places that I wanted to try for several months, but we never seemed to be in that neighborhood (East Atlanta Village) AND to be in the mood for tacos at the same time. We arrived around 2:00 on a Sunday and, aside from the party of eight […]
