For the Thanksgiving break last, we realized this might be the last opportunity that the four of us would have to get away together from a scheduling standpoint, so we took it. We decided that it would be the perfect time to head west and went skiing in Winter Park, CO. After two days on […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. The restaurant landscape in Atlanta is an ever-evolving thing. In October of 2010 we were driving through Decatur and saw a new restaurant where the Freight Room once was and decided to give it a try. When I went to write this post, I googled for their website and found that […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Following the recent demise of Farmhouse 303, let me lament the passing of another restaurant. On Halloween day, we were up in Rome visiting Madison and decided to try out a new place that had opened on Broad Street, downtown, the Greener Burger. Great concept for a restaurant. The folks that […]
Late in the summer of 2010, I kept hearing stories of the “secret” burgers that only appeared on the menu at Holeman & Finch Public House at 10:00 pm. And that they only made 24 per night. And that they sold out EVERY night. ((the Legend). I began plotting a way to end up there […]
About two months before we ate at Daddy Dz, I had attempted to do so, but none of my passengers were willing to get out of the car. (I am occasionally out-voted.) So one Thursday evening I went by for an early dinner. With a giant pig out front, and a slogan of “We ain’t […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Word had spread among the barbecue cognoscenti, thanks to an article in Atlanta magazine, that P’Cheen had some of the best barbecue in town. But the kicker was, it was only available on Monday nights. So one Monday evening, after the girls went back to college, Jo and I headed downtown. […]
So we asked everyone we met in Philadelphia where we should go for a cheesesteak. We got almost as many answers as there were people we asked. So we decided that we’d make it easier and narrow it down to two that were across the street from each other – Geno’s Steaks and Pat’s King […]
In the summer of 2010, we took a trip to “Amish Country”, flying into Philadelphia, driving across to Pittsburgh and flying home. We spent the first couple of days in Philly, then headed west. The first burger destination? Charlie’s Hamburgers in Folsom, PA, a small town southwest of Philadelphia. This was about the time I […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. We tried this new (at the time, it had been open less than a year) restaurant after a review in the AJC, Urban Pl8. Great local in-town restaurant on Huff Rd, in West Midtown, focusing on quality + affordability. They also focus on fresh, seasonal food. On our first night, they […]
