There is a certain dance that occurs every few months in Atlanta’s Chinese restaurant community. The formula is simple: Well regarded chef shows up; foodies flock to said location; chef up and leaves soon thereafter; foodies follow. Rinse and repeat. It’s happened with Frank Ma, it’s happened with Chef Chang (of Tasty China), and it’s …

I’m not sure exactly what to make of this. However, I thought it was interesting enough that it is worth a mention. For reasons beyond my scope, a post from January blew up yesterday. That post talked about Richard Blais’ intentions to bring Flip Burger Boutique to our nations capital. Roughly 200 unique visitors showed …

Overall:[rating:2.5] Fresh, Hot, Small, Square! Homer Simpson has seriously missed out. I’m sure Krusty Burgers are just fine and all – but the idea that the American icon has been robbed of his chance to taste fast food bliss is nothing short of a crime. That bliss comes in the form of a slider from …
Overall:[rating:2.5] Few Atlanta institutions are as unheralded as the White House Restaurant. While it may not have the following of the Colonnade or the name recognition of the Varsity, the White House holds up just fine in a comparative analysis.

Shocking news of the day: the Vortex’s Double Bypass Burger just got more national attention. The burger, comprised of a patty, five slices of bacon, four slices of cheese, two fried eggs, mayo, lettuce, and onion will arrive at your table in between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Anywho, as of this writing, the burger sits …
Osage Farms, located on Hwy 441 North in Rabun Gap, is just one of a handful of local farms that call Rabun County home. While I haven’t visited any one of those other spots, I imagine that Osage is one of the better options for fresh produce in the entire state of GA, let alone …

Believe it or not – I do eat homemade meals. While I’m usual the only one around to cook, every now and then – someone takes pity on me and treats me to some of their home cooking. Recently, my father volunteered for the job. This past week, he whipped up some Lobster Thermidor based …

A few days ago, I found myself running around the town of Highlands, North Carolina. Sitting comfortably atop the southern portion of North Carolina, Highlands is roughly two-hours via auto from Atlanta. As such, it’s a popular sport for weekend getaways and summer excursions for those of us who call the ATL home. My day …
