The Cook’s Warehouse, that one stop shop for the home cook in you, is headed to Ansley Mall. Taking over the space formerly occupied by Piccadilly Cafeteria, the store is in its final stages. This is the new location for their Midtown location, which was located on Amsterdam Ave. Don’t fret if you can’t get …

A little busy/tired today – so here’s a sneak peek of some notations I’ll be making in the next few days. Early this week, I made it over to La Pietra Cucina for the first time in a month or so. After hitting it up nearly 2x a week for a few months, it was …
In my evening web perusal, I stumbled on a new blog by the name of Live To Feast (website). It looks like the person behind L2F, whomever they are, is setting up shop as a restaurant notation maker, a twitterati, and a pretty solid writer (unlike my own rantings, I haven’t found an grammatical error …

Firefly is the shizzle. For anyone who hasn’t had it: it’s sweet tea vodka that is dangerous good. My preferred serving: splash of water + lime juice. It turns out that Firefly Distillers, the gang behind the beast, has a handful of other “flavors.” When Ron Eyester and the gang at Rosebud caught wind of …
I wasn’t sure whether I should tag this as a Laugh Of The Day or as News That Sucks. It seems oddly appropriate for both. Anywho, it turns out that liquor-based social engagements of the competitive type can really fudge with your health.

Overall:[rating:1] It seems like nearly every denizen of the metro Atlanta area has made at least a handful of trips to the unusually situated Nuevo Laredo Cantina. Located in Atlanta’s version of no man’s land [though I’ve lumped it in with the Westside], it’s a wildly popular Tex-Mex spot with a dedicated following. Often times, …

Chef Daniel Boulud’s DBGB Kitchen and Bar just received a noteworthy 2-star review [very good] in the NY Times. The review marks Sam Sifton’s debut as the food critic for the NY mega-paper, a post previously occupied by the well-known and somewhat controversial Frank Bruni. Sifton has a distinctly different style than Bruni, who kicked …

Running With Tweezers and her #EatOn30 cronies aren’t the only people trying to raise awareness of the current state of the food system. Turns out, the one and only Sarah Silverman has also thrown in her 2 cents. As luck would have it, Sarah has solved the problem of world hunger. All we need to …

Holeman & Finch is my favorite watering hole here in Atlanta, hands down and bar none. Though I think the food has slipped just a smidge since Adam Biderman bolted for the Big Easy, the drinks are as killer as always and the food is still quite good. After Biderman departed back in May, Jason …

Tucked away in the sprawling Toco Hills Shopping Center, the Bagel Palace Deli & Bakery has been around for at least a couple of decades. Somewhere in between Emory University and Druid Hills, the Toco Hills neighborhood is home to Atlanta’s most concentrated Jewish population. It seems appropriate that one of the more widely known …
