Hot on the heels of the much more fashionable, Fünke and I took a little ride to the just opened Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft, a Thai restaurant in the former Taurus location. Backed by the familial lineage of Nan and Tamarind Seed, daughter DD Niyomkul has taken the helm of the kitchen (and the …

The Holeman & Finch Hot Dog: One Great Meat Stick [Quick Hits]
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 …

Wolfgang Puck Express In Brookwood Place Closes [Dead pool]
The hits just keep coming. Though this actually happened a few weeks ago, I somehow managed to miss it. Wolfgang Puck Express pulled an Emeril’s and said buh-bye to Atlanta. This leaves the city with one less celebrity chef restaurant and the ground floor of the Brookwood Place complex dangerously close to empty (at least …

Around The Dirty – Trips To Daddy D’s Barbecue, Flip Burger Boutique, La Pietra Cucina, & Varasano’s Pizzeria [Quick Hits]
Hope ya’ll had a pleasant weekend. I know I did. As you might expect, the past few days have left me worn down and fried. So, rather than pen a full review, first impression, or the like, I have decided to hit ya’ll up with some quick notes about some recent goings-on in the ATL.
La Pietra Cucina’s Facelift
Midtown’s La Pietra Cucina recently underwent a major renovation. The restaurant has expanded its seating, closed off the kitchen, and finally posted a website, albeit just a landing page. While I’m not going to talk too much about the changes, one thing has DEFINITELY bummed me out. Apparently, they no longer offer their seasonal risotto …
Breaking News: Adam Biderman Out At Holeman & Finch
This has the potential to break my heart. I, along with every other foodie in ATL, love Holeman & Finch, that über cool English pub in Peachtree Hills. Well, according to his own facebook status, Adam Biderman is packing his bags and moving to New Orleans. No word yet on when he’s departing H&F. It’s …

Heaven Nights: All You Can Eat Every Thursday At Varasano’s Pizzeria
Every Thursday, from 8-11pm, you can show up at Varasano’s, pay a flat fee, and eat until you are stuffed. The price is thought provokingly low. For $12.95, us big’ns can eat as much pie as our tummies will hold. Meanwhile, kids under the age of 12 eat for just $7.95. These “Heaven Nights,” sound …

Holeman & Finch Continues To Flex It’s Burger Muscle [Quick Hits]
A good burger isn’t hard to find … a great burger is! Somewhat out of character for us, Atlanta actually has it’s fair share of top notch burger joints. While the best burger in town is a hotly debated topic, the usual suspects always seem to end up in the discussion. Holeman & Finch’s “Down …

Holeman & Finch Celebrates 1-Year In Style: Goes Top 50 … Meanwhile – Soto Goes Neener Neener
Dropped in at Holeman & Finch on Tuesday night. As luck would have it – they were serving up an anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, there was a special pork belly + coleslaw slider on the menu. I hate coleslaw, but this sucker was seriously bad ass! The pork belly was juicy and cooked to …
