It’s a bright and sunny day in Atlanta’s Westside Provision District. The late August breeze lends itself well to the sleek White Provision complex and its many foot-bound visitors. I have just stepped inside a large room lined with two walls of wine, a cheese and charcuterie case, and even some skin products (seriously). Slinking …

MF Omakase Room at MF Buckhead [Splurges]
Patrons of all sorts debate the value of a meal at MF Buckhead, Atlanta’s most shi-shi sushi spot.

[Surgeon General’s Warning: If you do not have a sense of humor, are prone to short outbursts, or find naughty tids and bits offensive … this post might not be for you!] You know, there is nothing redeemable about what’s about to happen. It’s going to cost too much, it’s going to be too hard …

Pita Palace Restaurant Review – Druid Hills, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
It’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon and beads of sweat drip down my forehead. I find myself standing in the parking lot of the Druid Hills Whole Foods and my eyes are locked in across the street. Anyone with good sense would know that the personal shower was due to the hellish-like temperatures of an …

Orleagian Snowballs: Bouncing Here And There And Everywhere [Street Food]
Gummy Bears! You know them, you love them, and you still eat them. Their TV show rocked mad musical beats, and all you want to do is pop them like the pills. But why eat them straight out ‘the package when you can dunk them in a vat of frozen deliciousness? Yes, at Orleagian Snowballs …

Brandi’s Hot Dogs Restaurant Review – Marietta, GA [First Impressions]
The unassuming building pictured above is one of Atlanta’s longest operating hot dog hubs. Situated at 1377 Church St, Brandi’s World Famous Hot Dogs holds down fort in Marietta seemingly oblivious to this modern invention we all know as time.

Super Pan Restaurant Review: Top Chef Sandwiches In Poncey-Highland, Atlanta, GA [Food Finds]
If my foodie gauge is correct, Super Pan, a Latin sandwich shop from Hector Santiago, is about to be the latest restaurant to permeate Atlanta’s food chatter. How long this Pura Vida spin-off manages to last in that conversation will depend entirely on their ability to deliver good, consistent food. Of course, Santiago’s notability due …
Hong Kong House Restaurant Review – Johns Creek, GA [First Impressions]
By now, most every food fanatic in Atlanta knows that in order to sample authentic Chinese fare, one must grab their gas card and head north. Hong Kong House, the newest entrant into this combative cluster fuck, is no exception. You see, while the restaurant’s location might be typical, the food there is anything but. …

The Gyro Stand At Opera Nightclub [Food Finds]
You know you’re a food addict when you find yourself verbally sparring with some pseudo parking attendant in the hopes of navigating droves of drunk club bunnies in an attempt to grab a late night fix. Truth be told, my recent exchange with some dude at the intersection of Crescent Ave & 14th street was …

Young Augustine’s Restaurant Review – Grant Park, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Grant Park’s Young Augustine’s rose from the ashes of The Standard early this year. This neighborhood take on the gastro pub is the brainchild of Chris Johnson, owner of The Standard, Andy Gonzales, a well traveled chef, and Kyle Faucher, the manager who I know little about. While the fate of the Standard seemed set …
