In search of culinary Nirvana
I try my best to visit new Atlanta eateries sometime within the first 48-hours of their opening. I think it’s always fun to try new places and it also helps me establish a baseline for the given restaurant. In addition, watching a restaurant develop and mature is part of the fun of what I do. …

While I am determined to focus on local restaurants during my various “Buddha Tours,” I think I would be remiss if I did not include at least a few chain restaurants. For my Sub & Sandwich Tour, the first chain I visited was Jimmy John’s. The franchise is relatively new to this area of the …

Take a peek at the rules page if you aren’t familiar with them yet! Mike & Pete strike me as the Coen brothers of Castleberry Hills. They go together like apple pie and cheese (yeah – people do that!) and they seem to get into a little bit of everything. One of their endeavors is …

Sandwich Shop Stops: quick, say that again three times! So after a LOT of research, I have come up with a list of 20 spots to visit. Two places that I want to try are named… but not included in that twenty. I really wanted to focus on locally owned and operated Atlanta joints; however, …
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 few days ago, I mentioned that I would be starting a series entitled the Buddha Tour. Today, I published the Buddha Restaurant and Dining Tours page. Over there, you’ll find the rules and other related information. It isn’t really useful yet, but it will be a landing page for information as a I …

So after hanging with Jimmy from Eat It, Atlanta, I have been inspired to copy borrow his Atlanta Pizza Days idea. However, a few changes are necessary!
