Dynamic Dave Sweeney [Videos]

Growing up, the initials DD evoked memories of the Lee brother’s going all thug life with a set of baseball bats and a little bit of dynamite.  Yes, Double Dragon taught me how to whoop ass and take names … all in the name of love (cue: Marian). However, times change and people learn [Like …

Dynamic Dish To Expand [News That Doesn’t Suck]

Big ups to Atlanta Magazine’s Bill Addison … who dropped this jewel on us via twitter.   Apparently, Dynamic Dish, everyone’s favorite healthy eating spot, is scheduled to expand in the spring.  According to Addison, DD will do away with their BYOB policy as they are due a liquor license.  More interesting, is the idea that there …

Taqueria Del Sol Restaurant Review In Pictures: Chile Rellenos And All – Westside, Atlanta, GA [Quick Hits]

I think it would be presumptuous of me to assume that the majority of the people who happen upon this little love of mine have no idea about Taquería Del Sol.  In that spirit, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that this little chain of taco bars (aka taquerías) is the darling of …

Big Boi Loves Some R. Thomas – Outkast Superstar Dishes On Atlanta [Quick Hits]

Today, MTV ran a bit piece on hip-hop’s ultra cool Big Boi.  In the article, Georgia native Antwan André Patton (a.k.a. Big Boi) talks, albeit briefly, about where he likes to eat around ATL.  He named only one spot: “[We] do a little bit of everything," Big said. "R. Thomas is this nice little joint …

Grass Fed Beef Is So 2008. Hello Shmeat [Laugh Of The Day]

While I was knocking out some 9-5 work a few minutes ago, I had last nights Colbert Report playing in the background.  However, my attention quickly moved away from databases and spreadsheets as soon as I heard the words “meat loving American.”  Take about 5 minutes and watch this schaweet clip!  Mmmm… shmeat! The Colbert …

Hitting The Town With Your Peeps? Good Restaurants In Atlanta For Groups

A friend of mine was asking me for advice on where to go for her birthday.  I realized by the time we were done … that was good fodder for a post. This is by no means an attempt to offer up a “definitive” list of party grub in the Dirty.  Rather, here are just …

Veggieland Restaurant Review – Buckhead, Atlanta, GA

Overall:[rating:1] Veggieland is a solid choice for any vegetarians or for any carnivores looking for a healthy alternative.  While many restaurants have come and gone over the last twenty years, Veggieland keeps chugging along.  They never seem too busy, but they deliver a consistent experience in both service and quality.

I Love Vegetarians and PETA Rejoices in Super Bowl Rejection

Okay, well “love” may be extreme (though my one vegan friend is super cool and very easy on the eyes), but seriously – talk about a major coup for PETA.  Sure Super Bowl ads get a lot of attention … but you can’t buy buzz like this. Anyway, here is the video in question.  Be …

Dynamic Dish Scores BIG!!!

Dynamic Dish, one of my favorite Atlanta restaurants (internal), was named the third best Modern Vegetarian Restaurant in the States.  This one is legitimate madames and monsieurs.  While there are thousands of top 10 lists, blogs (cough cough), and magazines, a handful of publications still carry some real weight.  The magazine of note is Bon …

FoodieBuddha 2008 Atlanta Restaurant of the Year: Sushi House Hayakawa – Chamblee, Atlanta, GA

I am not so brazen as to assume that my word carries with it the clout that a post from someone like Jennifer Zyman or Cliff Bostock carries.  That aside, I do feel comfortable enough to be an avid food talker.  Thus, I must have a restaurant of the year, right?  Indeed I do!  In …
