In search of culinary Nirvana
I feel like I should preemptively duck for this one. Community Q, a Decatur meat emporium, is the result of a Triforcean partnership between David Roberts, Jim Laber, and Stuart Baesel. Backed by Roberts’ foundation at Sam and Dave’s, the trio has set out to save Atlanta from the clutches of the evil Ganon and …

As time goes by, I am presented with the opportunity to head back to some of the restaurants I’ve already chatted up. Since my initial visit to DBA Barbecue, there have been a number of changes. Doug Morgan has moved on, and in his place, we have Drew Kirkland. Kirkland, who was previously stationed at …

A couple of weeks ago, I hit up DBA Barbecue and then waxed poetic. Today, Cliff Bostock did his civic duty over on Omnivore, his blog at Creative Loafing. Checkout what Cliff had to say. I think the two of us were sharing a brain on this one. Amongst other good information, Bostock laments dry …

There’s a new meat slinger in town, and they are “Doing Business As” a barbecue joint. Last night, I was chilling in ViHi, so we ambled over to D.B.A. Barbecue. Turns out, D.B.A. Barbecue actually opened to the public this past evening. I was under the impression this was week two for them, so that …
