The Most Annoying Restaurant Review Ever

inspired and thus restricted by CHOW, apologies on tense shifts 100 miles or more is a long way to travel for crazy delicious food cooked to perfection; but, according to some article whose whereabouts escape me, food focused vacations are on the rise.  That spike is directly related to the increased popularity of things like …

Tex’s Tacos Food Truck To Stay Put … Sort Of [RoamingATL]

Tex’s Tacos, an Atlanta Tex-Mex food truck, is set to open a restaurant (of sorts).  Anyone driving on Roswell Road during off hours (aka non-meal time) near its intersection with Irby Ave. is likely to see the bright orange/yellow/red Tex’s Taco truck sitting in front of a tiny little building on a tiny plot of land.  …

Cafe Jonah & The Magical Attic – Buckhead, Atlanta, GA [A Review In Pictures]

In the heart of Atlanta’s ritzy Buckhead neighborhood sits a bright white house with a light grey roof and red trim.  It’s just off the beaten path and a stones throw from the area’s Whole Foods Market.  If not for the droves of cars in the parking lot, one might think this a residence.  But …

Attack Of The Killer Tomato Festival: Episode 3 -Return Of The Tomatoes [Recap]

In the case of most trilogies, the third edition of a Hollywood picture series is often the weakest [See: Return of the Jedi].  Fortunately for foodies, festivals are not subject to that rule of thumb.  As such, and to the delight of the masses, the Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival returned yesterday in expanded …

The Atlantic On Atlanta [Food Guides]

The Atlantic is a well established website/magazine that covers a variety of mainstream media topics.  Earlier today, they published an article by Corby Kummer entitled A Food Lover’s Guide To Atlanta.  Instigated by a reader question, Kummer invoked the assistance of Kim Severson, a newly transplanted employee of the New York Times, and Christiane Lauterbach, …

Ramen, Tacos, and Barbecue … and Tooshie Talk [Quick Hits]

Another day, another mini-food tour that is my burden. At least I had good company! Lunch Along with GI Joe, I took a Susie Washing Machine to lunch for her birthday.  She’s works near Cloverleaf so we hit up YJ for some of their awesome tonkotsu ramen.  My guests were thoroughly satiated, but my more …

Crazy Taco Video [Laugh of The Day]

So since my camera was out of my possession for a little bit (thus preventing me from getting pictures from recent days) and since I’m still working on my Marea post to attach to these pictures, I fill up the world wide web with more noise.  here’s a freaky taco meme (rhymes with cream and …

Carniceria Ramirez Taqueria Review – Smyrna, Atlanta, GA [Food Finds]

So while I curse the gods at the disappearing act my post pulled at 2am last night, you can read my feeble attempt at recapturing my literary glory.  Go head, I’ll just be hitting golf balls off my roof at passing cars. At best the word authentic is a loose interpretation of the reality.  More …

Green Eggs and Ham(burgers)

John T. Edge has been showing up all over the place lately (and quite a bit in my twitter feed).  The guy just rocks it.  Just a short time ago, Edge’s article on Atlanta’s own Big Green Egg hit the New York Times.  For those that don’t know, Ed Fisher used to sell kamados (a …

Seafood Watch And Project FishMap for iPhone/Android [Technology]

Earlier today (technically yesterday by the time you read this), I spent some time reading an article on sustainability and seafood, which prompted me to write this little bit on an associated topic: the Monterey Bay Aquarium and their Seafood Watch app (android market/apple store).  The Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of the leaders in …
