Pork Brains In Milk Gravy – The Worst Food Product Ever According To 4,971 People

  That picture isn’t photoshopped (as far as I can tell) – at 3500 mg of cholesterol per serving … this crap will kill you.  With my vote over at the Consumerist.com, 4971 people concur that this is the worst stuff ever.  I’m curious what food the 7% of voters had in mind. [via TIWYF]

Quick Hits: Dogwood Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA

This week has been a pretty successful week for me (as far as food goes).  I had a little chili in Ellijay, a return trip to Holeman & Finch, an introductory trip to Patak Meats, and two trips to Via Elisa.  Subconsciously, this must have been a self-imposed reward after last weeks excursions.  I’ve already …

Atlanta’s Next Big Foodie Topic: Joël Antunes Gets The Boot

Here’s something that will spread like wildfire amongst us local Atlanta bloggers: The Oak Room in New York finally had enough with the bad reviews (he’ah and he’ah).  While Frank Bruni may not deliver the apocalypse in all walks of life, as far as the NYC dining scene goes – he might be the one …

Pic’n’Mix Fetches £14,500 … Puts The First Beer From Leon’s Full Service To Shame

As many people know [because of this blog … right??? :-)], Leon’s Full Service in Decatur auctioned off the first pint served at the restaurant.  The charitable event raised $2,650!  That is impressive. However, recent news out of London puts that to shame.  Woolworths (wiki), that now collapsed retail chain, elected to auction off their …

Brunch At Serpas True Food In The Old 4th Ward…. Not So Far Away

The Leaning Tower Of Pancakes: 30 Inches Of Awesomeness

So as Pancake Day has come and gone, I wanted to jump in with one last quick tidbit about the day.  Chefs Sean McGinlay and Natalie King of Glasgow’s Hilton Grosvenor hotel have laid claim to the record for the tallest pancake skyscraper I’m not sure if they are going to get the recognition from …

Shared Kitchens In Suwanee, GA Looks Like A Winner

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon SharedKitchens.com.  In the spirit of ecological friendliness, I think the idea of a communal kitchen is both practical and cool.  I sent the Julie Farr, the owner, an email.  She responded with some details and was extremely friendly.

Milk Chocolate In Your Computer: Hershey’s Goes Techie

Apparently, this whole economic crisis is making companies totally rethink their business models.  Now, Hershey’s (yes that Hershey’s) is developing a line of consumer electronics.  They are going to start with Hershey Chocolates yum drives (aka thumb drives).  Soon to follow … digital cameras, earphones, and speakers.  I’ll be surprised if these all come to …

Quick Hits: The Shed at Glenwood Restaurant Review– East Atlanta, Atlanta, GA

So the past few weeks have been very busy for me.  I’ve finally finished all the planning for the Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour (details tomorrow), and work is *almost* back under control.  As luck would have it, I’ve still been eating my meals and taking notes.  I thought this would be a good time …
