In search of culinary Nirvana
On an early afternoon scamper from Buckhead back to the Westside, I found myself looking for sustenance. As I was heading right past the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center, I decided to swing by Zoës Kitchen, a fast casual franchise with a focus on health conscious and sustainable grub. I wasn’t looking for something quick, cost …

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 …

While playing with any convention is dangerous territory, it doesn’t mean it can’t be lighthearted and fun. I believe that statement is a perfect representation of Taka Moriuchi, the facebooking blogger who also happens to produce some of the better sushi in the city. Taka-san has a habit of mixing things up a bit, and …

While I have no problem hopping in the car for a 45-minute drive to check out a restaurant, I can assure you that nothing about my recent trip to the Coo Coo’s Nest in Cumming was redeemable. The massive, two-story complex reads like many in this category. The interior is marked by high ceilings, open …

Holeman & Finch is my favorite watering hole here in Atlanta, hands down and bar none. Though I think the food has slipped just a smidge since Adam Biderman bolted for the Big Easy, the drinks are as killer as always and the food is still quite good. After Biderman departed back in May, Jason …

The north end of Inman Park is packed with small businesses, a few markets, and a number of restaurants. Amongst them, the Albert has been a long standing member of the community and the area’s requisite watering hole. While it might not seem worthy of a foodie review, I can assure you it is. The …

Just a shade over two weeks ago, I hit up Turner Field for the Atlanta BBQ Festival. Given that this was their inaugural party, I was pretty impressed with how smoothly things went down. While the grubblins were essentially left to their own devices, it wasn’t too hard to figure out what was what. …

I think it would be presumptuous of me to assume that the majority of the people who happen upon this little love of mine have no idea about Taquería Del Sol. In that spirit, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that this little chain of taco bars (aka taquerías) is the darling of …
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 …
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 …
