Mother … forgive me for I have sinned. Father … I’ve heard the stories so you have nothing to say! 😉 Figuratively speaking, I’m at a loss for words. I’m trying to come up with appropriate descriptors for my recent jaunt at Midtown’s Alluvia, the in-house restaurant at The Cheetah Lounge. If you fancy yourself a …

The Muff & Buff Tour Visits The Pink Pony
[Surgeon General’s Warning: If you do not have a sense of humor, are prone to short outbursts, or find naughty tids and bits offensive … this post might not be for you!] You know, there is nothing redeemable about what’s about to happen. It’s going to cost too much, it’s going to be too hard …

The Bread Garden In Morningside: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #15
Slowly, but surely, we eek along. Some four months after my first sub tour pit stop, I find we are just now passing the 3/4 flag. You know what they say … time flies when you are having fun. Yesterday’s meal found me all alone at the Bread Garden. Tucked away on Amsterdam Walk near …

LottaFrutta In Inman Park: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #14
So yesterday was LottaFrutta; that quirky and offbeat food stop down in the Old 4th Ward/Inman Park. A self-proclaimed fruit house and market, it translates into a fruit bar with sandwiches and salads. Their style is unique (at least to this town); and, as such, it was time that I took the Atlanta Sub & …

Cafe At Pharr In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #13
Café at Pharr in Buckhead has been around for a long time. Soon after the Braves were cheated out of a World Series victory by Kent Hrbek [yeah – I’m talking to you!!!], this place opened (circa 1992). I actually remember eating here inside their first month of operation. What a cute little foodie I …

Papi’s Cuban & Caribbean Grill In Midtown: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #12
In the past year, Atlanta has taken a few stiff upper cuts to its Cuban jaw. Fire gutted Havana (reportedly due to arson) in October after owner Silvesonso Ramirez closed Midtown’s Kool Korner Grocery in August. The opportunity gave Papi’s (pronounced like Poppy seed) the chance to snag market share. Backed by an already strong …

Highland Bakery In Inman Park: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #11
A long time ago in a sandwich shop, far away… I best most of ya’ll thought I had forgotten about the sub & sandwich tour. Truth is, I just got a bit worn out on sandwiches. While I did grab a few sandwiches in the past few weeks, my rate of consumption plummeted. The time …

Star Provisions In Midtown: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #10
Oh Atlanta S&S Tour, how I have missed you! Travel, temporary sandwich burn out, and life in general caused me to miss a few weeks. What better way to get back in the saddle than with a trip to Star Provisions. In the realm of high-end gourmet shops, SP seems to garner a near godlike …

Sawicki’s In Decatur: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #9
Well, sorry that it’s so late in the day. I had a lot going on … but, I wanted to get this up today. We are fast approaching the half-way point in the Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour. To date, there have only been a couple of strong showings. Luckily, today’s lunch at Sawicki’s marked …

Henri’s Bakery In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #8
Yesterday marked my first sandwich tour stop in over a week. It was a needed break; but, I am happy to be back in the saddle. After hitting up a handful of “gourmet” sandwich shops, I thought it would be good to return with a trip to a straight forward bakery. Henri’s Bakery … this …
