In search of culinary Nirvana
Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday and today. Real life beckons when you’ve been on the lamb for a few weeks. Still, I’ve managed to get back into the foodie thing with my return to the ATL. Last night, I found myself at Fritti, the popular pizza joint that sits just outside of Inman …

A few days ago, I found myself running around the town of Highlands, North Carolina. Sitting comfortably atop the southern portion of North Carolina, Highlands is roughly two-hours via auto from Atlanta. As such, it’s a popular sport for weekend getaways and summer excursions for those of us who call the ATL home. My day …

Overall:[rating:3] Tucked away in a somewhat downtrodden area of town, Johnny’s Bar in Cleveland, which serves food from Northern Italy, appears to be an institution. The restaurant, which has operated under a couple of names the past 80+ years, delivers an almost static experience. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that a …

Engine 11 is the latest tenant in the cemetery that is 30 North Ave. Despite being within walking distance of Georgia Tech, the Fox Theatre, and a number of Midtown residences and hotels, this location has been a death knell for all previous comers. With a complicated parking situation and a busy roadside, any restaurateur …

Look out Atlanta, there’s a new Greek restaurant in town. After a number of delays, Mykonos Taverna has finally opened its doors. Originally scheduled to open at the end of April, the restaurant finally said hello to us late last week. I had no idea when I penned the aforementioned post that droves of people …

This is just a quick little get up for ya’ll. I’m heading out the door for a business trip and haven’t had time to finish writing either of my two latest reviews. I hope to have at least one of them ready to post by the time I land. In the meantime, here’s a quick …

Slowly, but surely, we eek along. Some four months after my first sub tour pit stop, I find we are just now passing the 3/4 flag. You know what they say … time flies when you are having fun. Yesterday’s meal found me all alone at the Bread Garden. Tucked away on Amsterdam Walk near …

Yesterday, pops and I took a trip over to Atmosphere Bistro on the outskirts of the Morningside neighborhood in Atlanta. Open roughly 7-years, they have long served one of my favorite brunches here in the city. Given the price point, the atmosphere (no pun intended), and the service – I find little to complain about …
Joined by a fellow Atlanta foodie and blogger, lunch yesterday took us to the new as new can be Joia Restaurant & Lounge. Occupying the Crescent Ave corner spot that formerly housed Saga, Joia has opened with problems on top of problems. In fact, there are so many problems with this place that even the …
