Miso Izakaya In Inman Park Opens With A Puff

I have made a handful of brief posts about Miso Izakaya in the past.  Well, the restaurant opened last night; but, I was unable score myself a dinner buddy.  Normally, I’d go at it alone … but for Izakaya, I wanted some help.  Tonight, that came in the form of Laura! She was the highlight …

Tokyo Taste 2009 – Another Exciting Out Of Town Event

I love to hear about all the international conventions going on!  I am never able to attend, so I basically get the neener-neener feeling by simply visiting the website of the offending event!  That said, Tokyo Taste looks like it will be quite an event.  Though Terminites (correct conjugation???) do not have the personal connection …

New Atlanta Restaurants Open On Schedule

So far, the February Dirty List has been pretty accurate.  I am not sure yet if I’m batting 100, but I think I am.  Miso Izakaya (internal) opened last night; I’m trying to get down there for dinner tonight…but it may have to wait until later in the week.  Kozmo Gastro Pub (internal) is open …

Out of Town: Figs Pizza Restaurant Review – Charlestown, Boston, MA

Overall:[rating:0] (epic fail) Oh what a pity … Figs has really fallen flat.  You can sense their hidden, reclusive quality that is masked by a lot (and I do mean a lot) of serious flaws.  What was once a fantastic pizza joint is now a shameful iteration of its former self.  The inner child is …

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 …

Atlanta Cuisine Redesign Beckons

Atlanta Cuisine is one of my favorite local publications.   Each month, Tom Maicon and his gang put together a fine collection of articles.  In the past, Tom has admitted that their branding is somewhat dated.  That is all about to change.  Though I have not had a look myself, word is that their redesign should …

Atlanta Pizza Days Rolls On

For the past few weeks, Jimmy over at EatItAtlanta.com has been giving up his health and his cash in the name of public service.  Jimmy has been touring various Atlanta pizza joints like there is no tomorrow; that can’t be good for his health.   As I write this, he has added six reviews to his …
