Gato Bizco Café: Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Gets Kid Tested … Buddha Approved [Updates]

Alright … done with the awws and “how cute is she” declarative questions? Good! Now let’s get it on! You see, this isn’t so much a review as it is a not so subtle smack over the breakfast burrito reminding you that Gato Bizco Café in Candler Park is where it’s at.  Having survived my …

Stack Your Brunch And Fill Your Gut At Noon Midtown [Quick Hits]

Call it a chicken biscuit … call it a sandwich … call it a coronary heart attack … I don’t care what you call it, so long as you make it a point to grab Noon Midtown’s “Stack” sooner than later.  Katie Birmingham’s top notch restaurant has been kicking ass and taking names since I …

Four Seasons’ Park 75 Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

Hotel dinning can be the ultimate example of the slippery slope.  On the one hand, many of the best chefs end up running those kitchens, so you get top notch talent.  On the other hand, the chef’s id and ego are often held in check by the the massive corporation holding the checkbook to their …

The West Egg Cafe Adds Dinner Service

  The West Egg, that popular Westside Atlanta breakfast joint, is now doing dinner.  Having moved just a short while ago into fancy new digs, the restaurant has decided to expand their hours of operation.  (They’re just a hop skip and jump away from their old location).  The restaurant is now open from 7am-10pm Monday thru …

Empire State South By Hugh Acheson Sets Sail In April [Openings]

Georgia has long been unofficially known as the Empire State of the South.  Now, it looks like we’re finally ready to make that official (at least in the restaurant world).  Empire State South is set to be the first foray into the Atlanta dining scene for the accomplished Hugh Acheson.  Sporting a progressive take on …

News From The Foodieverse: Holeman & Finch, KFC Goes Racial, Bacon Bourbon Caramel Corn

Just because I was away doesn’t mean the world came to a screeching halt (shocking, I know).  So here are some odds and ends from around the net from the past week+.  I’ll leave this post, with a heavy heart.

Firefly Vodka, Brunch, And Rosebud

Firefly is the shizzle.  For anyone who hasn’t had it: it’s sweet tea vodka that is dangerous good.  My preferred serving: splash of water + lime juice.  It turns out that Firefly Distillers, the gang behind the beast, has a handful of other “flavors.”  When Ron Eyester and the gang at Rosebud caught wind of …

Flip For Your Brunch At Pacci Ristorante – The Palomar Hotel In Midtown [Quick Hits]

There is something unsettling about working on the internet at 30,000 ft.  Maybe it’s the inordinate amount of pre-pubescent children that are wailing in my ear or the 40-something behind me who doesn’t know how to chew with his mouth closed (what’s he eating anyway?).  Okay, enough with the kvetching, I can’t expect a chill …

Busy Weekend: Topped Off With A Visit To Staplehouse

A few months ago, I was turned on to a new supper club touted as “Prelude To Staplehouse.”  Since then, Jenifer and Ryan Hidinger have made quite an impression.  As other bloggers begin to catch wind of this thang, I myself am getting in on the fun.  I’m off to see what this couple has …

Atmosphere Restaurant In Morningside: A Delicious Brunch – French Bistro Style [Quick Hits]

Yesterday, pops and I took a trip over to Atmosphere Bistro on the outskirts of the Morningside neighborhood in Atlanta.  Open roughly 7-years, they have long served one of my favorite brunches here in the city.  Given the price point, the atmosphere (no pun intended), and the service – I find little to complain about …
