I’ll start this off with a little reminder to check out the rules page before you proceed! Remember, this is just about those two pieces of bread and what’s in between! For today’s review, let us chat up Matty Cakes Bakery, the Morningside bakery that offers up a small selection of freshly constructed sandwiches. …

Today marks the first post in my Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour series. For those of you just hearing about this, you may want to peruse the rules page. The criterion for each tour is VERY different than my criteria for a general review. The goal of this particular tour is to focus on the …

Overall:[rating:2] Alright Missy, you win! Grease pit or fast food heaven? Atlanta institution or eye sore? Classically decorated or more dated than Mick Jagger in hot pants? The Varsity, or more simplistically: The V, seems to be that type of place. In my 20+ years as an Atlanta denizen, people seem to find it a …

My first trip, circa 2003, to Ann’s Snack Shop (internal), was as memorable as it could get. Given the absence of great Atlanta food blogs at the time, I had no idea what to expect. I sauntered in, plopped myself down at a stool and quickly hunched myself over the bar. Within moments, I was …

A friend of mine was asking me for advice on where to go for her birthday. I realized by the time we were done … that was good fodder for a post. This is by no means an attempt to offer up a “definitive” list of party grub in the Dirty. Rather, here are just …

Until last night, I was shamefully ignorant to the tragic history of Violette restaurant. The short of the long is that proprietor Guy Long, a native of Alsace-Lorraine, came to the United States after his mother passed. In 1989, he met Stephanie Belcher and from that that meeting, a relationship flourished. Eventually, the two became …

This week has been a pretty successful week for me (as far as food goes). I had a little chili in Ellijay, a return trip to Holeman & Finch, an introductory trip to Patak Meats, and two trips to Via Elisa. Subconsciously, this must have been a self-imposed reward after last weeks excursions. I’ve already …

So the past few weeks have been very busy for me. I’ve finally finished all the planning for the Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour (details tomorrow), and work is *almost* back under control. As luck would have it, I’ve still been eating my meals and taking notes. I thought this would be a good time …

So a former restaurateur that I recently reconnected with (via family) sent me her thoughts on some places around town. She briefly recapped her feelings on Craft, Spice Market, Ray’s on the River, and Neo at the Mansion. Names have been changed to protect the innocent! 🙂
Overall:[rating:0] It’s early AND it’s Saturday AND it’s Valentine’s Day … thus, I’ll be brief. This morning, I was in midtown, I was hungry, and the nearest thing that wasn’t fast food was J. Christopher’s … ACK!!!!! I have stopped in at one of their various locations several times over the years; my excuse for …
