The Ambiguously Foodie Duo has struck again, and this time our victim was Grindhouse Killer Burgers in Downtown Atlanta. In just a few short days, Grindhouse has thrown down the gauntlet, though not for their food. The freshly cooked Sweet Auburn Curb Market eatery is alive and kicking and it is readily apparent that owner …

Celia’s Carniceria Y Supermercado In Norcross: Mmmm … Tacos [Great Finds]
People often say that bloggers, critics, and the like get the most pleasure from writing a scathing note. While I can’t speak for the rest of them, I’ll tell you that this guy gets the most joy out of recapping an impromptu meal that was anything but expected. It doesn’t happen often, but when …

Prickly Pear Taqueria Restaurant Review: Still A Little Pointy – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Ever opened your fridge late at night? If you’re like me, it usually makes you squint and promptly throw your forearm up in a measly attempt to ease your eyes. Well, that’s the kind of reaction I had to a recent meal at the Prickly Pear, a loud and proud taqueria located in the base …
Kelly’s Roast Beef: A Review In Clams – Revere, Boston, MA
Another year, another trip to Boston, another visit to Kelly’s Roast Beef. Like clockwork I am. Boston, and the surrounding ‘hood, is like a second home to yours truly. It should be no surprise then that this North Shore fixture, in business since 1951, has been as much a part of my life as anything …

Neptune Oyster Review -The North End, Boston, MA: Even Lauded Restaurants Disappoint [Out Of Town]
With a name inspired by the gods and a reputation that follows, one should expect big things from Neptune Oyster in the North End of Boston. The famed oyster bar, owned by Jeff Nace, seats just 18 bar-side and roughly 25 at the tables … which aren’t more than an arms length away from that …
Hug It Out At The Prelude To Staplehouse [Sneak Peeks]
Tommy: Brothers don’t shake hands. Brothers gotta hug. That’s the kind of atmosphere at an event hosted by Jen & Ryan Hidinger (the line of course is a quote straight out of Tommy Boy). In fact, we tried to get out of there on a handshake, and the better half insisted we hug it …

Flip For Your Brunch At Pacci Ristorante – The Palomar Hotel In Midtown [Quick Hits]
There is something unsettling about working on the internet at 30,000 ft. Maybe it’s the inordinate amount of pre-pubescent children that are wailing in my ear or the 40-something behind me who doesn’t know how to chew with his mouth closed (what’s he eating anyway?). Okay, enough with the kvetching, I can’t expect a chill …
Bo Bo Garden Restaurant Review – Doraville, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
There is a certain dance that occurs every few months in Atlanta’s Chinese restaurant community. The formula is simple: Well regarded chef shows up; foodies flock to said location; chef up and leaves soon thereafter; foodies follow. Rinse and repeat. It’s happened with Frank Ma, it’s happened with Chef Chang (of Tasty China), and it’s …

Mmmmmm…. Krystal Burgers: Homer Simpson Never Had It So Good – Fast Food Restaurant Chain, Atlanta, GA
Overall:[rating:2.5] Fresh, Hot, Small, Square! Homer Simpson has seriously missed out. I’m sure Krusty Burgers are just fine and all – but the idea that the American icon has been robbed of his chance to taste fast food bliss is nothing short of a crime. That bliss comes in the form of a slider from …
The White House Restaurant Review – Buckhead, Atlanta, GA
Overall:[rating:2.5] Few Atlanta institutions are as unheralded as the White House Restaurant. While it may not have the following of the Colonnade or the name recognition of the Varsity, the White House holds up just fine in a comparative analysis. Part Greek diner and part meat and three Southern eatery, this Buckhead breakfast/lunch spot has …
