In search of culinary Nirvana
From Hervé This to Ferran Adrià to our own Richard Blais, science in the kitchen is all the rage.

Many of us wannabe cooks find ourselves completely out of our league in this department. I did …

Yeah, free food is a good thing. That said … enough with the burger giveaways. Ted’s Montana Grill, an Atlanta based restaurant, is getting in on the lameness. Unfortunately, there is just way too much work involved to make it worth my time. While there are big prizes (anyone ever heard of someone winning one …

Today I find myself burdened by guilt, embarrassment, and pain! I was going to let this go … not mention it … hide it away … let it slip into the annals of history without so much as a puff. But I have sinned like never before and I cannot keep this bottled up any …

According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, LowCountry Barbeque has closed their restaurant in Suwanee. I must say, I’m pretty bummed despite the fact that I never ate their. I am admittedly not the biggest barbeque fan. Even so, though I spent my high school years in Memphis, TN, I have always preferred the vinegar based …

There are tons of websites out there dedicated to home brewing. A few days ago, SimpleDollar.com posted an in depth Walkthrough and Cost Breakdown of Brewing Your Own Beer.

Farm-to-table and sustainable food are all the buzz the days. While Blue Hill Farm in New York may get the most press (at least as far as Farm-Restaurants go), Serenbe Farms down in Palmetto continues to get some real serious attention. The NYTimes ran a great article on the “utopia” that is Serenbe Farms! I …

Until last night, I was shamefully ignorant to the tragic history of Violette restaurant. The short of the long is that proprietor Guy Long, a native of Alsace-Lorraine, came to the United States after his mother passed. In 1989, he met Stephanie Belcher and from that that meeting, a relationship flourished. Eventually, the two became …

Sandwich Shop Stops: quick, say that again three times! So after a LOT of research, I have come up with a list of 20 spots to visit. Two places that I want to try are named… but not included in that twenty. I really wanted to focus on locally owned and operated Atlanta joints; however, …
