Varasano’s Pizzeria is in the news yet again. This time, MSN City Guides is the culprit. Yesterday, they did an article on the movement in the industry toward top notch crusts.

At first glance, C&S Seafood and Oyster bar is another in the long list of Atlanta restaurants that under delivers and over charges. As with all first impressions, it’s hard for any single diner, myself included, to ascertain the differences between systematic failure and the anomaly of a bad meal. If I had to venture …

Overall:[rating:0] Despite my initial impression of 5 Seasons Brewing Company over in Midtown, Atlanta, I was both willing and able to make a return visit. In the two months since, I’ve made three return trips. To be honest, I’ll have a very hard time mustering up the guts for a 4th. As you may have …

The competition has been fierce, and after laying the smack down on roughly 2,000 other candidates, Sir Wallace of Dirty has earned a spot in the Top 10. Here’s to you Hardy, …
