To close out March, we went with good friends to Kyma. We had an early (6:15) reservation and as we arrived they took us straight to our table. The place was fairly empty, but it filled to about 75% of capacity during our visit I love when you’re at a restaurant where the waiter pays […]
While running some errands one Saturday and looking for food, I remembered that there had been a couple of places with Marietta addresses in this month’s “Cheap Eats” article in Atlanta Magazine. A quick Google search from the USPS parking lot and the choice was made – the Red Eyed Mule. I knew we were […]
As I was waiting outside Watts Burgers, I noticed the constant flow of traffic at Pollos Asados Rio Grande. Roughly twenty cars in twenty minutes. And since a) my burger was nothing to write home about (or to both of y’all about), b) I had two hours plus before my flight back through Dallas and […]
As I was leaving Odessa one Monday, I passed by the Permian Basin Hamburger Company (on Main Street since 1978) and whipped the car around to try it out. Sadly, they closed at 3:00 and it was close to 4:00. Dejected, I headed back toward I-20 and the Midland International Airport. It was then that […]
So for about the last four or five years, I’ve driven by this giant sign for Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks on Monroe Drive and told myself, “Self, you’ve got to get one of those cheesesteaks.” But every time that I drove by there (mostly on Thursdays, mostly between 7:00 and 8:00 pm), it was closed.

In my never-ending quest to visit as many of Atlanta’s 50 Best Restaurants (according to Atlanta Magazine last summer), before a new list comes out, this week’s adventure took me to the Honey Pig, in Duluth. First off, I didn’t have nearly the issues that I had with the language at Myong Ga Won so […]
One of the greatest opportunities / challenges to living in Atlanta is the sheer number of restaurants. Finding a new restaurant. Deciding if tonight is the night to try something new or whether you want to go to some place again that you’ve been before. But the biggest challenge is hearing about the new restaurants. […]
On a recent visit to the land of burgers, I asked the fellow I was visiting with if there was a good burger close by. He thought for a minute and said, “there’s Square Burger downtown?” I was sold, so when lunch time rolled around we drove to the square in downtown McKinney. We found […]
In one of the summer editions of Atlanta magazine, they named Myung Ga Won as one of the fifty best restaurants in Atlanta. One day last week, I was heading out to lunch alone and thought I’d give it a try. Walking in was just like going into Moe’s, except that everyone yelled at me […]
