In today’s edition of “excessively overblown use of technology to deliver a product nobody really actually needs” (otherwise known as #WTF), a company by the name of Popcorn Indiana gives us The Popinator. Apparently, this popcorn popper not only cooks your corn kernels, it also fires them in your general exact location using all sorts …

As Coca-Cola is from Atlanta, you’d kind of get the feeling that we’d have access to all the latest and greatest products the company produces. Well, not so much … Prime example number 1: there’s apparently a coke machine in Hong Kong that doles out bottles of coke that will freeze upon the introduction of …
So the cat is officially half out of the bag. After a lot of public maneuvering, the powers that be finally went “on the record” and announced that Top Chef alum Kevin Gillespie is all but wrapped at Woodfire Grill (you didn’t know he was a TC contestant until I told you … right?). Gillespie …

This is what happens when two of the best restaurants in the country (Eleven Madison Park and Alinea) team up together: [youtube=www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTMCVaG60GA&rel=0] Granted this is more interesting for those of us general food fanatics than it is for anyone belted down here in Atlanta.

So Julia Child, the now defunct Grand Dame of all things cookery, has a new music video out. Despite hitting the century mark tomorrow (August 15th), she remains incredibly spry for a dead lady. Witness: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80ZrUI7RNfI&rel=0] So take that Tupac, because if you’re going to come back from the grave, forget those silly NOT holograms …

So what we have here is more “coming soon” news in the form of Olmsted and Article 14 (two separate Atlanta restaurants). To be honest, I can’t stand writing this stuff as it makes me sound like a stodgy journalist … something I’m most definitely not (on either front). Be that as it may, the …
How do you make Yelp worth reading? Simple … have someone else do the reading for you. In this case, we have actor Chris Kipiniak putting his dramatic spin on a 1-star review for the Stratford Diner in Stratford, NJ. The review in question comes courtesy the one and done Dalia B. Maybe this new …
Gato Tokyo Bizco When I told Spark Plug not to leave the city this month, I meant it. Did she listen? No, no she didn’t. When she reads this, am I going to get an international phone call shortly thereafter at which time I will be dressed down? Admittedly, I did not tell her exactly …
