Do at the View (as in dough – as in do-re-mi – as in not in pizza dough) is a relatively new Westside pizzeria that hasn’t gotten a ton of attention [at least from those of us interested in the food]. Opened in May, my first visit came during “the dark ages” – aka that …

I have returned from the vastness of the Great Northwest a better person. Now a wiser and happier young man, I feel it necessary to share with you some mention of the food I consumed and some of the events I was privy to [even if those events were of an incriminating nature]. Glacier National …

I’m on my way out of town for a few days to a land where internet access will be at a premium (if even available). I have a few things in my draft box that I’ll try and wrap up on the plane, but in the event that you don’t hear from me over the …

It is tomato season, so when life gives you 25 lbs. of fresh tomatoes, you make a shit ton of delicious Bloody Mary mix. Thanks to one David Dreyer, a friend who I don’t spend nearly enough time with, I have a liter of Double-D’s Bloody Mary mix in my refrigerator. Rather, I had a …
Restaurant Eugene and Linton Hopkins, as well as a slew of Atlanta area restaurants, have come under fire from activists over their use of foie gras, a highly contentious liver dish. It’s really been a few years since the debate over the cultivation of foie gras was a focal point of the food system; however, …

I’m under a rock right now, hence the dearth of posts since Wednesday. In the meantime, here’s some stuff you can read elsewhere: * In case you have joined me under said rock, you’ve probably heard about Eater’s big announcement. In case you haven’t heard: the online food news outlet launched their Atlanta outpost yesterday. …

I think it’s fair to say that the number of blogs that cover (at least in part) some aspect of the Atlanta restaurant scene has skyrocketed since I started this food journal back in December ‘08. In fact, UrbanSpoon has 190 different blogs listed on its Atlanta Blog Leaderboard. Though many of those are admittedly …
