In search of culinary Nirvana
So while I curse the gods at the disappearing act my post pulled at 2am last night, you can read my feeble attempt at recapturing my literary glory. Go head, I’ll just be hitting golf balls off my roof at passing cars. At best the word authentic is a loose interpretation of the reality. More …

Food stalls of all types dot food courts at American malls. Inside these coliseums of consumption, you’ll often find Great Wraps and Sbarro and some childishly named cookie purveyor collectively peddling their wares. By en large, those meals don’t even register in a foodie’s memory bank. However, when we lucky Atlantans scurry up I-85 to …

These days, if you mention Latin food to Atlantans, I wouldn’t be surprised if food trucks, or carts as they are often known, enter the conversation early and often. In that respect, it’s kind of funny that I, along with a couple of buddies, stumbled upon La Carreta Taqueria in Marietta. La Carreta, whose given …

I am the Foodie Buddha and I am a sheep amongst wolves. Stealthily perched behind my menu, which serves as a shield from the plastic-esque décor, my eyes see nothing but menu and the fairer sex. With Mama Buddha and my cousin with a famous backside in tow, and a handful of female neighbors onsite, …

Peering through my looking glass, a once formidable cocktail whose specifics elude me at this juncture, I find my mind fluttering and, most importantly, my stomach growling. Mind you, this isn’t on account of an empty belly; rather, I’ve bellied up at one of the most notable gastro pubs in the world. I’ve finally made …

It’s a typical Atlanta summer night. My windows are ajar, the shades open, and the late night sun has finally dipped beneath the event horizon. However, I’m not on my porch puffing a cigar nor in my media room kicked back and taking in the comedic barbs of Jon Stewart. No, I find myself curled …

Let me lay the groundwork for a shinning example of a faux pas. Restaurant provides you with an abridgement of pizza history, aromatic fluff words and descriptors worthy of a James Cameron romance flick. In accordance with strict guidelines for Napoletana pizza, said restaurant will not serve sliced pizza or pizza in to-go boxes. A …
In a lot of ways, Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand is an all out surprise. You’ll find Delia’s on a somewhat downtrodden strip of Moreland Ave just south of I20 and roughly a half mile from East Atlanta Village. Not exactly the epicenter of Atlanta’s food scene, you’ll know it by the sharp orange and green …

Draped in a haze of street lights, I find myself awash in bustling persona grata. The hip, the avid, and the curious are in to check out Escorpion Tequila Bar and Cantina. Escorpion is a lavish new endeavor from restaurateur Riccardo Ullio and his U Restaurants group and its sights are set squarely on the …

So I’m stuffing my face full of New York when I am suddenly put on notice. One of my good friends in culinary consumption just so happens to be roaming the very same streets and in roughly the same neighborhood. Yup … Eat, Drink, Man was in town too. Out came the droid, soon followed …
