Originally written 11.6.08 The best way to sum this up: A failure on most fronts. Seafood (sans sushi) is not well represented in this city; however, that’s not for lack of options. For those craving "bar" seafood, this is one of the popular choices inside the perimeter. The vibe here is great but the food …

From the archives (10.03.2008) Overall:[rating:2.5] This is what a breakfast joint should be. It’s nestled in that hopping little intersection of McLendon & Clifton, across the street from the evil empire that is Flying Biscuit. Nearby, there are a handful of shops/boutiques as well as the Fellini’s/La Fonda combo. I’ve visited Gato Bizco more times …

From the archives (10.20.2008) Overall:[rating:2] (very good) While my family eats at Blue Ridge like it’s their second kitchen, I have "only" eaten here about 10-15 times.

Overall: [rating:2] Philadelphia is the self-proclaimed Cheesesteak Capital. I’ve traveled to the most well-known spots (Pat’s King of Cheesesteaks and Geno’s Steaks) and I’ve been to each several times over. Trust me when I say that they are essentially crap on a bun. You go to those tourist traps for the “experience;” there are better …

From the archives (11.09.08) A good buddy of mine joined me for lunch at Café Agora this past Friday; the experience was yet another in a long line of tasty meals at this Mediterranean eatery. With the demise of Shipfeifer, Agora is now the only spot in the ATL I go for a quality gyro …

From the Archives (11.20.08) Phuong is my FAV!!!! If you don’t know any better – take a clue from the fish tank that sits in the front entrance way – this place is the real deal. That’s not just for decoration people – they use those suckers! Last week, I returned to Tasty China (twice …

Since Soto was just named the best sushi in New York City, I wanted to post a review I wrote a few months ago. Enjoy! ———– Sotohiro Kosugi’s food has been a staple of my diet for many years. I frequented his restaurant(s) in Atlanta more times than I can remember. Needless to say, I …
