In search of culinary Nirvana
Dantanna’s Downtown is fully operational. I was at the Hawks game last night, so we hit them up for both pre and post game beverages. There are plenty of big TVs and the decor is almost identical to that of their Buckhead location. The upscale sports bar is still polishing their routine; however, their employees …

Though they actually opened this past February, I took the liberty of adding Café Lapin to the March Dirty List due to this post over on the Omnivore. The “French country menu” looks simple and appealing; I will definitely hit them up for breakfast sooner than later. In addition to breakfast and lunch, they offer …

Recipe care of Susan Steinberg My good friend Susan Steinberg has imparted a great deal of knowledge on me in these past few months. Steinberg is the very definition of a “functional foodie.” She ran a very successful local catering service for many years; that success led her to open a widely acclaimed restaurant. Nowadays, …

I’m a little late with the news on this, so I do apologize. Between now and the 12th of March, all Godiva Chocolatier locations are serving up one free mini brownie to all visitors. The catch? You have to tell them what you would like to see dipped in chocolate. A pretty stupid requirement, but …

That’s not a typo people. Korean designer Wonsik Chae has developed a cup of light. While this stuff is obviously undrinkable, I still think it deserves some mention on a food blog. Basically, this is just a science experiment gone horribly RIGHT! The concoction consists of a chemical intermediate and the aforementioned tea bags stuffed …
Perhaps my quest for a camera is misguided. Apparently … a scanner works just fine on your food … errr … or so says scanwiches.com. Surely this violates health code! That would be an “Eggplant Parm, on a hero” [sic]. Technorati Tags: funny,sandwiches,technology,websites
Tuesday night was a double dip of pleasure for me. Not only did I get my fix of The Colbert Report, but, Stephen was kind enough to have a foodie themed interview. Mark Bittman, a blogger on NYTimes.com, author, and socially conscious cook, talked with Colbert about “eating without thinking.” It’s always funny to see …
The Commerce Club, an old guard Atlanta mainstay, is in the news again. Apparently, they are going to merge with the One Ninety One Club. I’d write more – but I got to get some more work knocked out. Details over on the Atlanta Business Chronicle website. Technorati Tags: the commerce club,the one ninety one …

Clara Cannucciari is old school – literally. She is a 93-year old cook who runs greatdepressioncooking.com. To be honest, I’m more interested in her stories than her cooking. She talks about food and cooking from the Great Depression. I thought this was appropriate on the heels of Tami’s $30 Project! You can check out all …
