When I found we were heading to Charleston for business, I looked at all of my food resources and identified the places that I wanted to dine: Rockaway Athletic Club (in Columbia, on the way up Hominy Grill Husk (where I was wait-listed for a reservation on three different days) and FIG. You have to […]

I had learned about Rockaway Athletic Club from Hamburger America, and reviewed George’s article before we left home.   One of things that I remembered was the difficulty he had in finding the place.   I followed the map to the address from the Burger GPS app, but all we saw where the GPS directed […]

1) Did you ever go someplace and when you got there felt like you’ve been there before?  As soon as we walked into the One Eared Stag everything looked familiar (except for the eponymous animal head above the bar).  I started to wonder, have we eaten here and I just don’t remember it?  Couldn’t be.  […]

Over the last several years, Aria has kind of faded from the limelight of Atlanta dining. Not because of a degradation of service or a decline in the quality of the food, but due to the overwhelming number of restaurants in Atlanta. Maybe it was the change in the dining scene focus to New Southern […]

Community Q BBQ is the orphan child of Dave Poe’s and Sam’s Barbecue #1.  Back in the day, Sam (of Sam’s Barbecue #1) and Dave (of Dave Poe’s) owned Sam & Dave’s, where David (#2), of Community ‘Cue, also spent time at the barbecue pit. When Sam and Dave split up their two restaurants, David […]

Heading down to Orlando for a three day convention, one of the first things that I did was Google for the best buger, as there were no central Florida entries in Hamburger America.   One of the places that was on multiple lists was the Ravenous Pig, up in Winter Park.  One of the blog reviews […]

Before we headed over to Good Friday Atlanta, this seemed like a good chance to sample the Counter. I had heard the Counter mentioned several times in the last year, but we rarely get to Roswell to eat. Tonight, as our destination was about five minutes away was the perfect opportunity. I didn’t realize until […]

For the last several years, I’ve seen the Busy Bee Cafe on every list that was made about places to eat in Atlanta.  Since they close at 7:00 pm, they aren’t an option for dinner out for me most nights, but on a random Thursday I was driving through town at 6:00 pm and looking […]

Some day I’m going to learn to pay attention to obvious signs.  I always tell my kids (and co-workers and anyone that asks) that a parking lot full of pickups is a sign that a place has good food.  The laws of logic insist that the adverse must also be true. Sign one: When I […]

We went into the Shed at Glenwood, early on a Sunday evening a while back for an early dinner.  This is one of those places that I’ve been meaning to go for a while and the chance never seemed to arise.  This night, we were driving back from Decatur on I-20 and realized just how […]
