Eat, Drink, Man is an Atlanta blogger dude who has been around longer than I have (me: Dec, 2008 – him: July 2008). He puts up lots of great content but today’s post was of particular interest. In a tip of the hat to Anthony Bourdain, EDM reminisces about some of the dinosaurs of the …

JCT Kitchen Restaurant Review: Slipping Into Oblivion – Westside In Midtown, Atlanta, GA
Overall:[rating:1] JCT Kitchen just donkey punched me… alright, just had to get that out of the way. I’ve been all up and over the Westside recently. In that spirit, it’s no surprise then that I found myself dining at JCT Kitchen yet again. It’s time to throw some more stars out, and so JCT gets …
LottaFrutta In Inman Park: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #14
So yesterday was LottaFrutta; that quirky and offbeat food stop down in the Old 4th Ward/Inman Park. A self-proclaimed fruit house and market, it translates into a fruit bar with sandwiches and salads. Their style is unique (at least to this town); and, as such, it was time that I took the Atlanta Sub & …

More on Meat: Meat Grades And Explaining Various Cooking Temperatures
The more I eat out, the more surprised I am at the inability for chefs to demonstrate one of the most important, yet basic, aspects of cooking: proper understanding of the cooking temperature of meat. For many of you, this will be common knowledge. However, I get enough questions about stuff like this – so …

Get Fit … Then Drink More Beer [Laugh Of The Day]
So this just in, apparently – it’s a good thing to drink beer after you exercise. Yeah, sounds screwy … I know. According to researchers at Granada University (that’s in Spain ya’ll), a pint of beer post-exercise is better at rehydrating you than a glass of water! Apparently, they attribute this to the high sugar …

Carver’s Country Kitchen & Grocery Restaurant Review – Westside In Midtown, Atlanta, GA
Overall:[rating:2] Ahhhhhhhhh … everyone’s favorite gut buster … none other than Carver’s Grocery on the Westside of Midtown. Okay, in all technicality – what you have is a restaurant (aka Carver’s Country Kitchen) inside a grocery (aka Carver’s Grocery). The reality is that in all my years of visiting the Carver’s and their restaurant, I’ve …
Lifehacker’s Online Techie Cookbook
Who says computer geeks can’t cook? Lifehacker.com is one of my daily reads (as it is for most every other professional in the technology sector). Every once in a blue moon, they drop something cooking related. Such was the case with yesterday’s post. Creatively named “The Lifehacker Cookbook,” you’ll find a collection of [mostly] American …
Cliff Does His Business At D.B.A. Barbecue
A couple of weeks ago, I hit up DBA Barbecue and then waxed poetic. Today, Cliff Bostock did his civic duty over on Omnivore, his blog at Creative Loafing. Checkout what Cliff had to say. I think the two of us were sharing a brain on this one. Amongst other good information, Bostock laments dry …

In the last 24-hours, Hardy Wallace [of Dirty South Wine and Goode To Be First fame] has pulled an Inspector Gadget and surged into first place in the quest for his dream job. Some 25 points off the lead going into last night, Hardy now sits over 30 votes ahead. Still, anything can happen with …
Food, Inc. Hits The Dirty South [Film]
Riding the craze that “mass produced food is by default … evil,” a new film has gotten the attention of movie buffs and foodies alike. Knee deep in both camps, I’ve been following this film for some time. The main premise of Food, Inc. is that chemically modified food can (and does) do serious damage …
