“Am Foodie, Will Travel For Meals.” Many of us live by that motto … not all of us have the budget to fulfill that dream. Thankfully, we can live vicariously through others. Hot of the plane, Eat It Atlanta has blessed we plebeians with some excellent photo documentation of his recent excursion to New York …

Oysters Are A Vegan Friendly Food
The vegan lifestyle, and it very much is a lifestyle, is something I only have a cursory knowledge of. Oysters, on the other hand, are a gourmand’s delight of the highest order. I’m not only very fond of these little critters of the sea, but I’m knee deep in educating myself as to their nuances …
Sugar Sugar Says: “Let Them Eat Cake”
I’d like to think that I do a pretty good job of discovering cool things around the Atlanta food scene. However, when I stumble upon someone who has roughly twice the following than I do, I must admit that I don’t really feel like stumbled across anything super underground. In these cases, I just feel …
The King Of Pops Now Serving Delicious Treats! [Street Food]
Another day, another day closer to true street food here in Atlanta. First up, The King of Pops. Apparently, his cart arrived last Friday, though I totally missed the news!

Four Seasons’ Park 75 Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Hotel dinning can be the ultimate example of the slippery slope. On the one hand, many of the best chefs end up running those kitchens, so you get top notch talent. On the other hand, the chef’s id and ego are often held in check by the the massive corporation holding the checkbook to their …
The Best iPad Food Apps: The Complete Foodie Guide To The iPad [Technology]
I make no bones about my general disdain for a company that embeds personal information into audio files that you purchase (see: Apple). That said, I know a big thing when I see it … and for better or worse, the iPad is a big thing. That I have no intention of playing with it …

Sauced Restaurant Review – Inman Park, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Sauced, Ria Pell’s new fusion soul food venture in Inman Park Atlanta, has been motoring along for several months. Though the restaurant came up for a brief breath of air in 2009, it actually opened for real in early 2010. Soon after, Spark Plug and I made it the appetizer stop on one of our …

Zaza Pachulia, Atlanta Hawks Center Turned Restaurateur Talks About ENO With USA Today
Zaza Pachulia, Atlanta’s most athletic foodie (or at least the one paid the best), made at least a few heads turn last year when he acquired Midtown’s Eno restaurant. The Atlanta Hawks center promptly renamed it Eno By Zaza (fancy huh?) and has since replaced head chef Eli Kirshtein (of Top Chef fame) with Justin …
The Greek Gyros And Pizza Restaurant Opens In The Sweet Auburn Curb Market [Food Finds]
Just a short time ago, The Sweet Auburn Curb Market (SACM) in Downtown Atlanta was an afterthought in the cityscape. Then, late in 2009, Grindhouse Killer Burgers got things rolling. Since then, SACM hasn’t looked back. In the midst of this buzz, The Greek Gyros and Pizza has hopped on the wagon and opened …
