Late in February January, The Kind Pie opened up as Atlanta’s newest pizza restaurant. As their tagline says, this is “pizza with a conscience conscience.” However, their menu includes a good number of Italian appetizers, a few salads, and some inviting sandwiches. Not surprising, you’ll find top quality products that lend themselves well to …

It’s amazing how often one can drive by a restaurant and never even think to enter. It’s even more astounding when one breaks from tradition (Peking Duck), samples the grub, and finds that the restaurant is a real gem. Such is the case for Wong Kee BBQ & Peking Duck, a stealth bomber Chinese restaurant …
The love affair with Frank Ma South has come and gone in this city. Late in 2008 when Frank Ma moved in with the gang at Chopsticks in the Emory area, all hell broke loose. Most everyone got all giddy at the idea of a seemingly authentic Chinese restaurant located somewhere other than BuHi. I …

Café Alice is one of those non-descript restaurants that exists in every strip center in every city around the country. In this case, you’ll find this glorified sandwich shop in the Windy Hill Shopping Center off Cobb Pkwy. It’s probably family owned (seemingly Asian in persuasion) and the idea of being “chef driven” is as …

The drive up the Eastern seaboard of the United States is daunting to say the least. Considering the trek from Miami to Atlanta, there is just something wrong about the idea of driving for 12-hours plus and only hitting two states. A break (or three) is required, and what better way for a foodie to …

Saturdays and Sundays, at least the good ones, equal football and football equals wings (of the Buffalo persuasion). Late in the calendar year, and on into the earliest months of the newest 365, men and women come together on those days of little sun for rowdy goodness. At the intersection of beer guts and team …
