Food stalls of all types dot food courts at American malls. Inside these coliseums of consumption, you’ll often find Great Wraps and Sbarro and some childishly named cookie purveyor collectively peddling their wares. By en large, those meals don’t even register in a foodie’s memory bank. However, when we lucky Atlantans scurry up I-85 to …

A few points of clarification: I have no idea which Raging Burrito this came from, so don’t immediately think it came from the one in Decatur … unless you consider the fact that the only one around is in Decatur. To the best of my knowledge, the cockroach burrito isn’t actually on the menu. My …

In that respect, it’s kind of funny that I, along with a couple of buddies, stumbled upon La Carreta Taqueria in Marietta. La Carreta, whose given …

Ladies … this post is for you! Men are like dogs. And now we have dog bowls to eat from. Simple, yet so progressive at the same time. It’s not currently available to buy, but it looks like it will be soon. Enjoy! [from TUUK via FG]
Ferran Adrià is a culinary god. El Bulli is his muse. El Bulli: Cooking in Progress is a newish documentary that attempts to surmise in film what so many have praised as the best culinary experience of their life. Specifically, the film condenses a year (‘08-09) in the life of Adriá, his team, and the …

I am the Foodie Buddha and I am a sheep amongst wolves. Stealthily perched behind my menu, which serves as a shield from the plastic-esque décor, my eyes see nothing but menu and the fairer sex. With Mama Buddha and my cousin with a famous backside in tow, and a handful of female neighbors onsite, …

Peering through my looking glass, a once formidable cocktail whose specifics elude me at this juncture, I find my mind fluttering and, most importantly, my stomach growling. Mind you, this isn’t on account of an empty belly; rather, I’ve bellied up at one of the most notable gastro pubs in the world. I’ve finally made …
