Since July of last year, a lot of the local buzz has been about No. 246, the new offering from Ford Fry (from JCT) and Drew Belline (former chef de cuisine of Floataway Cafe). It quickly became the new “it” restaurant and when I read that they didn’t accept reservations, I figured that we wouldn’t […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. While heading to a Thursday night jam down at the Red Light Cafe, I noticed a new burger place had opened in Ansley Mall – Boardwalk Burgers. It turns out that it is a new franchise location for which, according to the sign on the wall and their web site, the […]
I think the first time we tried Flip Burger Boutique was well before I started my blog, shortly after it opened (early 2009, maybe?) One Saturday, we were downtown and decided to give it a whirl, iPhone in hand. Flip is the brainchild of Top Chef season 8 winner Richard Blais and is designed around […]
Bonnie’s Place is a bar (there’s really no other description for it) in Lansing, MI, just off the campus of Michigan State. I was in Detroit on business and realized that if I left the office by 5:00 pm, I could make it to Elderly Instruments, over in Lansing, for an hour or so before […]

One Sunday, after church, we were looking for some place new to eat. As we’re pulling out of the parking lot, I hit Open Table and searched for places nearby and took a look. Up popped Chicken and the Egg, near the square, on Whitlock Avenue, in Marietta. We read the reviews and decided to […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Several months ago, I read in the local news about a new burger joint coming to town, Five Napkin Burger, in the old space where Nickiemoto’s was located at the corner of 10th and Piedmont. This New York based restaurant, with outposts in Boston, Miami and here, is an up-scale burger […]
Looking back through my lists, I also realized that I’ve never blogged about Grindhouse Killer Burgers. We ate at the original location (in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market) some time in mid-2009 and I’d been back to that location for lunch when I was in town on a couple of occasions. They’ve opened a second […]
