In search of culinary Nirvana
Last night, I had the pleasure of hitting Wisteria with CND. Unfortunately for Wisteria, the majority of the enjoyment was the company I was in and not the food I was served. Part first impression, part quick hits, this was my first full meal at Wisteria and my first visit of any kind in over …

The area of downtown surrounding Edgewood Ave doesn’t get a lot of love. For the most part, it is pretty dingy and it’s definitely not the safest of places. Still, the ‘hood does have some life, and Rolling Bones Barbecue has long been part of the reason to venture down there. The converted gas station …
It’s not a place where the decor is of primordial importance (clean, simple, yet reminiscent of a chain) and it’s not a place where you need a whole lot of direction (it’s cheesesteak-centric). However, that doesn’t mean that Roy’s Cheesesteaks is lacking in any true sense of the word. Stashed away up in Smyrna, just …
Grovel … grrrr … harrumph. Why do you do it to me? You show so much promise, invoke so much potential, and yet … when it’s all said and done, I feel like I just gave $15 to one of those unmentionables hanging on the corner of Ponce & Blvd. At the end of the …

I swear I don’t eat out every meal! Really, I don’t. Okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the topic at hand: Crawfish Shack Seafood on Buford Highway. When most ATLiens think of casual seafood eateries, Six Feet Under, Fontaine’s and Steamhouse Lounge usually reign supreme [Speaking of which … I …
It’s a holiday weekend, so this will be a real quick post: no pictures, no elaborate descriptions, no pomp or circumstance. Family Buddha decided to go grab some lunch on Friday. On a recommendation, we hit up the Buckhead Pizza Company in, you guessed it, Buckhead. Oddly situated in the Realm building, you have to …

This is a first impression if there ever was one. Thursday, May 21, 2009: the laptop closed, the door slammed, and I bustled my hustle over to Abattoir Chophouse just as soon as I could wrap up my 9-5. I’m such a restaurant whore! Thankfully, I had a little detour on the way over to …
Wan Lai on Buford Highway has hit the ground running. In just a few short months, this Cantonese restaurant has landed on most everyone’s “must visit” list. After missing out on Monday’s opportunity, I made the “obligatory” drive up BuHi earlier this afternoon to check out the buzz. Joined by a good friend from the …

So last Tuesday (yes – el Cinco De Mayo), a friend whose culinary prowess dwarfs my own, decided to join me for lunch. She was in the mood for some margaritas; and, Verde Taqueria, the newly opened Brookhaven taqueria, got the call. While the delay in getting this up could be attributed to a busy …
