In search of culinary Nirvana
I strolled into Asha Gomez’s fresh faced Cardamom Hill half expecting the second coming. Tucked away in the Berkeley Heights section of Westside, Cardamom Hill is the full-service, fixed location manifestation of Spice Route Supper Club (Gomez’s previous endeavor). It’s a cozy little Indian restaurant, somewhat out of place in a strip center; and, it …

It’s like 10:30 on a Friday night, I’m home … getting ready to head back out for the evening. While I wait, I’ve decided to check and see what’s abuzz on the interwebs. I came across a post by Scott Henry (@ScottTheHenry) over on Creative Loafing. The article, posted yesterday, is a lamentation on how …
The playfully named upcoming Meat & Three BATON Supper Series dinner has sold out.

Comedian Nick Swardson was kind enough to document what happens in the event you consume 28 boozerific drinks. Basically, your world will turn into a zombie like movie filled with a bunch of booze hounds. Yeah, a little NSFW – so turn plug in the headphones if you’re worried someone nearby will get offended.

Todd Brock, who handles all things Atlanta for the crew at Serious Eats, just posted his thoughts on Burger Tap, a restaurant I checked out a few weeks back. Brock was a little more jaunted by the unusual and somewhat quizzical shape of the burgers than I; but he went on to say: That shape …
