In search of culinary Nirvana
Before I skipped town a little over a week ago, I made mention of some rumors. I was hoping to get them posted while I traveled; however, a burned out MoBo and the realization that vacation was for … well … vacationing, left y’all with a stagnate page to stare at. Anywho, while I operate …

Let me be anyone but the first to say that the best thing about Atlanta’s food scene are the vast number of supper clubs bubbling under the surface. I’ve been to most of the recurring supper clubs in and around our city, a few of the one off events, and several secret meals in cities …

Do at the View (as in dough – as in do-re-mi – as in not in pizza dough) is a relatively new Westside pizzeria that hasn’t gotten a ton of attention [at least from those of us interested in the food]. Opened in May, my first visit came during “the dark ages” – aka that …

I’m under a rock right now, hence the dearth of posts since Wednesday. In the meantime, here’s some stuff you can read elsewhere: * In case you have joined me under said rock, you’ve probably heard about Eater’s big announcement. In case you haven’t heard: the online food news outlet launched their Atlanta outpost yesterday. …

I think it’s fair to say that the number of blogs that cover (at least in part) some aspect of the Atlanta restaurant scene has skyrocketed since I started this food journal back in December ‘08. In fact, UrbanSpoon has 190 different blogs listed on its Atlanta Blog Leaderboard. Though many of those are admittedly …
Tex’s Tacos, an Atlanta Tex-Mex food truck, is set to open a restaurant (of sorts). Anyone driving on Roswell Road during off hours (aka non-meal time) near its intersection with Irby Ave. is likely to see the bright orange/yellow/red Tex’s Taco truck sitting in front of a tiny little building on a tiny plot of land. …

In the case of most trilogies, the third edition of a Hollywood picture series is often the weakest [See: Return of the Jedi]. Fortunately for foodies, festivals are not subject to that rule of thumb. As such, and to the delight of the masses, the Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival returned yesterday in expanded …
