Yakitori Jinbei Restaurant Review – Smyrna, GA [Updates]
Since my introduction to Yakitori Jinbei in late 2009 (thanks Spark Plug), the restaurant has worked itself into my regular rotation. I’ve introduced several people to the joint, told countless others, and return whenever I get a hankering for some ramen. (occasional acts of indiscretion at Haru Ichiban notwithstanding).

Bakeshop Bakery Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Somewhat beneath the surface, just under the wave of pizzerias and the influx of burger joints, Atlanta’s bakery scene is seeing an infusion of new life.

What The Pho Restaurant Review – Duluth, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
What The Pho (actually spelled phở and pronounced fuh as in fuck – hey someone’s gotta say it!) is one of suburban Atlanta’s long standing Vietnamese restaurants.

As mentioned yesterday, in a frenzy of magnanimous delight, burger fiends have descended on Farm Burger in Decatur with fervor and excitement.

Rusto’s Pizza Restaurant Review: Shilled, Shamed, & Just Plain Bad – Cheshire Bridge, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
When I first walked into Rusto’s Pizza on Cheshire Bridge, I had an inkling of hope that Atlanta was about to have yet another respectable pizzeria to deal with.
