Every March, prognosticators, sports fanatics, and seemingly every other person with even the faintest interest in the NCAA basketball tournament fills out a bracket. People will use everything from video game simulations to mascot battles (think: Balki Bartokomous) to help them master the bracket. I, however, have a better way of picking the winner. I …

What I Learned Cooking For A Michelin Chef
Part 1: How A Michelin Chef Ended Up At My Table My path to full-fledged food addict has been somewhat subversive. By that I mean that during my earliest years, I rarely took note of food’s impact on my being. Yet many of my earliest memories revolve around food. I recall standing on my mom’s …

Essential Blog Tools For Foodies (And Everyone Else Too)
Even though this website is just a little online food journal, I try to publish blog posts regularly. Thanks to a handful of blog tools, I’m able to publish content pretty efficiently. These various software programs have become invaluable assets in my daily life, so I think it’s about time I wrote a guide on …

Your Awww That’s So Sweet Thanksgiving Moment
Sweet Thanksgiving moments have been marginalized by media entanglements and free market politics. So it’s extremely compelling to find moments of thanks derived from type of honesty you find in young children. A very lovely lady just emailed me this and it just so happens to she had one of those moments for me. It …

Late Night Fast Food Runs: A Dangerous Proposition
While perusing my community message board this past morning, I stumbled across this particular exchange. Is it something y’all are dying to read? Probably not – in fact, this may be a complete and total waste of time. But it’s Friday, so let’s have a little fun. Basically, this is a cautionary tale of late …

In Search of Feedback: New Rating System
It’s been eons since I’ve doled out any stars (which are about to look like Buddha statues pretty soon anyway *wink*). There are a myriad of reasons why I haven’t rated any place recently but I’ll spare you the reasons why that happens to be the case. The point is – the system right now …
I’ve Got 87 Problems But A Meal Ain’t One
I’m baaaaaack. After five cities, six stops, roughly 25 days, about 87 restaurants, and approximately 3,500 food photos, I snuck back into Atlanta early Wednesday morning. My head is spinning. My stomach is at capacity. My movements are lethargic. But most importantly, my mind is full of culinary experiences and friendly encounters that will last …

45 Down & Who Knows How Much To Go
So that’s three cities and approximately 45 restaurants in 10 days (and no I don’t eat breakfast). I’ve got three more stops (SEA>POR>SEA) and another 13 days before my feet touch down in Jaw-juh. In the meantime, enjoy this Hokkaido scallop with caviar and bell pepper courtesy of Urasawa. Okay, back to my not so …
Restaurant Websites: When the Carpet Doesn’t Match The Drapes
I was recently poking around the web when, for no reason in particular, I ended up on the website for Elmyr, a Tex-Mex cantina in Little Five Points. Even if you’ve never set foot inside of Elmyr, its address in Atlanta’s definitive alternative neighborhood should tell you something. For those a bit less traveled, L5P …

Thinking, Learning, & Loving Food
The farther down this road I go, the more and more I realize how important the education process is. As such, I’ve added a new page. It’s called Lessons In Food. It’s ridiculously thin right now, but I promise it will get some serious love moving forward. I’m not entirely sure where the format will …
