Well, leave it to the better half of the Ambiguously Foodie Duo to spill the beans. As first noted by @EatItAtlanta, Curly’s Fried Chicken has now opened at 1021 Howell Mill, the previous home to Julia LeRoy’s eponymous LeRoy’s Fried Chicken. According to the Curly’s website, Curly is Steve’s dad and Steve is the dude …

This is a story of one steakhouse (Morton’s), one man (Peter Shankman), and Twitter (you know what that is). So Peter Shankman (@petershankman) is a fan of steak and a fan of Morton’s Steakhouse. He’s also a bad ass, or perhaps just one lucky dude, or perhaps both. A few months back, Shankman was getting …

So yeah, apparently there’s a cookbook for Angry Birds, that ridiculously popular mobile video game. Officially titled Angry Birds: Bad Piggies’ Egg Recipes, it’s available right now for around $10. I have absolutely zero idea what could possibly compel a person who plays Angry Birds to want to cook something inspired by the whacky little …
With the recent opening of Bell Street Burritos in Westside, people are again eulogizing Tortillas, Atlanta’s original burrito joint.

At face value, Son of A Gun in Los Angeles serves as the antithesis to its sister restaurant, the highly regarded though disappointing to me Animal. Animal is simply dressed, whereas Son of A Gun is festooned with knickknacks. Animal focuses on things of land, whereas Son of A Gun is a showcase for seafood. …
Nearly everything chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo touch these days turns into critical gold. In the case of Animal, their first restaurant, Shook and Dotolo have ingratiated themselves to Los Angeles’s food scene as fast as anyone that I’m familiar with, and that’s no small feat. That being what it is, lest we forget …

It’s time for take two of the BATON Supper Series. This time, Atlanta gets treated to the food of New York chef Tien Ho, who came to fame at Momofuku’s inspired Má Pêche and Ssam Bar, is the super stud who’s going to do the cooking. For those that missed the premier, BATON is a …

The rise of the fast-casual restaurant, including the new Westside Atlanta location of Bell Street Burritos, owes a great deal to the burrito. This Tex-Mex tradition is perhaps the burger of that fused cuisine. Like the burger, the burrito is generally a massively hulking inclusion of typical toppings. But as the trend to produce these …

While New York may be considered the hot dog capital of the world and while Chicago may have a hot dog that bears its name, West Coast megaplex Los Angeles is the true champ.
