Sorry for the drop off in posts. I had to rebuild my laptop yesterday … hopefully I’ll be back later today. I promise, it’ll be no later than tomorrow. I have several posts planned for this week, including a full review of La Pietra Cucina.

Not Yet Tested: Get Half-Price Meals from TV Stations (or so they say)
I don’t know about you, but I have never said to someone: “Hey, call up WSB and see if we can get some discounts for dinner!” Doesn’t sound reasonable… right? Well, apparently it isn’t such a bad idea. While this may be kid tested and mother approved, I have NO idea if this actually works. …

Update On Lamplighter Cafe…err…. Shame Burger
A few days ago, word spread regarding the fate of Lamplighter Cafe. Many people, myself included (internal), reported that the restaurant closed due to a robbery on Christmas. Well, it turns out we may have been misinformed. Despite a sign posted at Lamplighter, Tom Maicon provided us with another explanation over at Atlanta Cuisine. Maicon …

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 …
Ever Have Leftover Wine? Make Mulled Wine Syrup
As much as you may not want to admit it, there is a good chance you’ve popped a bottle or two and never quite seen the bottom. A few days ago, I found myself in just such a predicament. I am not much for sweets, but I did have some leftover bottles, some fresh fruit, …

First Impressions: The Book House Pub – Poncey-Highlands, Atlanta, GA
-“Leslie is out of town, want to go get buck crazy?” -“For realz, let’s do it!” Okay, so maybe that isn’t exactly how things transpired; and no, we did not hit the bottle hardcore on a Wednesday night. Instead, Chris and I took advantage of his temporary freedom and journeyed over to The Book House …

FAIL: Gayot Plays It Safe
Whoever came up with the Gayot list of Top 40 Restaurants for 2008 is as bad as Adam Platt, NY Mag’s pontificator. André Gayot should be rolling over in his grave. Okay, well – he’s not dead … so that’s a bit hard to do, but you get the idea. I would not be surprised …
Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA
Overall: [rating:2] Philadelphia is the self-proclaimed Cheesesteak Capital. I’ve traveled to the most well-known spots (Pat’s King of Cheesesteaks and Geno’s Steaks) and I’ve been to each several times over. Trust me when I say that they are essentially crap on a bun. You go to those tourist traps for the “experience;” there are better …

President-Elect Obama Couldn’t Cut It As A Food Critic
Back in ought-one, Barak Obama was a guest on Check, Please, a local Chicago restaurant review show. The show has since wised up and they plan to run the story on January 16, 2009. CNN did a bit on the appearance and here it is: LINKY Technorati Tags: barak obama,restaurant reviews,check please,cnn
