As the name suggests, Goin’ Coastal is all about the seafood; what sets them apart from their competition is their overt focus on sustainable fishing. Backed by support from the …

Alright … done with the awws and “how cute is she” declarative questions? Good! Now let’s get it on! You see, this isn’t so much a review as it is a not so subtle smack over the breakfast burrito reminding you that Gato Bizco Café in Candler Park is where it’s at. Having survived my …

Korea Soup House Restaurant Review – Chamblee, Atlanta, GA [Food Finds]
Last night, I rolled out of the house ‘bout 8pm hell bent on a mission. You see, Buford Highway is canvassed with Korean restaurants. It’s a cuisine I love and covered in the past and a culinary adventure reviewed extensively by stalwarts like Eat, Drink, Man (linky), Take Thou Food (linky), and Chow Down Atlanta …

Woody’s Cheesesteaks Reopens: I Drink Your Cheesesteak Late Night [Review Updates]
When word spread that Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks in Midtown had closed, Atlanta’s food fans took a collective sigh. Though not everyone found the place destination worthy, Woody’s had a distinct personality and better than average grub.

Wasabi Grill Restaurant Review – Westside, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Intown Atlanta has no shortage of burger joints and pizzerias.

The Corner Food Stand And The Fried Snickers – Atlanta, GA [Food Finds]
I’m not sure anything excites a foodnatic more than the promise of the unknown. Case in point: A few moons ago, a drive down W. Marietta invoked smoking brakes and a hard left turn (Ahhh… that’s where my ABS went!). Not 5-minutes after B-Smooth and I had finished stuffing the camel at Carver’s, we found …

Woodfire Grill Restaurant Review – Cheshire Bridge, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Nestled amongst Atlanta’s stretch of tasseled "thingies” and institutional eateries is one of the best examples of contemporary American cuisine this side of the Mason-Dixon. Chef Kevin Gillespie, still shy of 30-years-old, has taken Woodfire Grill from the brink of EXtinction to the point of DIStinction. If Atlanta’s hopes of international culinary fame are to …
