In search of culinary Nirvana
So I should probably feel bad for not posting this last night; in fact, at one point I was thoroughly tongue lashed for keeping this to myself! After my years as a bar manager who has seen quite a few drinkers say hello to the porcelain god, it’s time to share. Here’s some advice on …

I am not so brazen as to assume that my word carries with it the clout that a post from someone like Jennifer Zyman or Cliff Bostock carries. That aside, I do feel comfortable enough to be an avid food talker. Thus, I must have a restaurant of the year, right? Indeed I do! In …
From the archives (11.09.08) A good buddy of mine joined me for lunch at Café Agora this past Friday; the experience was yet another in a long line of tasty meals at this Mediterranean eatery. With the demise of Shipfeifer, Agora is now the only spot in the ATL I go for a quality gyro …

So you still don’t know what to do for NYE. Your wife tells you that she does not want to do anything special and you are tired of spending $100 and up to go to some crummy bar that’s way too crowded. Well, have no fear …. one of the best steakhouses in town is …

If you have not heard of this restaurant, just poke around on the net for a little bit. You’ll have plenty to read and to watch. Regardless, A Table In Heaven, from producer/director Andrew Rossi, …

The Lobster Bar at Chops has long served as a reliable dining spot for my family. In years past, we would frequent The Dinning Room for our non-secular Christmas Eve dinner; however, in recent years we have opted for the more relaxed atmosphere of the Lobster Bar. While both Chops and the Lobster Bar sit …

In these tough economic times, there is nothing more appealing than finding a hidden gem in the low-end of the price range. Last night, we celebrated the holiday season with a little pre-dinner bubbly. The bottle of Zonin Brut turned out to be just one of those gems. While it will not garner you the …

A recent article over at salon.com discusses the benefits of choosing pie (as opposed to cake) when selecting your dessert of choice. I am not much of a desert man myself; however, this still begs the question: Why not both? One adventurous user over at AllRecipes.com decided to offer up a recipe for Pumpkin Pie …
