ChowDownAtlanta Gets It So Right

It started with a stare … tepid at first.  Gradually, a brow furrowed, the lips quivered, and the eyes turned on me … I had sinned.  Mortally sinned for that matter.  Her hand shot across the table and into the left over tin foil cone, the former home of my gyro.  Seconds later her hand …

The Week Upcoming

It’s Monday morning, we haven’t even hit the witching hour, and already I fell swamped with work.  So it might be late this evening before I get my first “good” post up for today.  That said, I wanted to give ya’ll a little sneak peek of what to expect… As soon as I hit publish …

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 …

Varasano’s Pizzeria: The Man, The Myth, The Pizza [Guest Blogger]

Food is like a religion in many respects. Foodies worship at the table of various high priests, inspired by their personalities as much as the cuisine which they promote. The examples are numerous— the locavore inclinations of an Alice Waters, the authentic Italian flavors of a Mario Batali, or the balanced French & Japanese fusion …

The IRS Isn’t So Bad: Eat Out And Save 15% Off Your Meal During Tax Time

Though I’ve always found the idea of “buying something on sale in order to save money” to be laughable, buying things at a discounted rate is a good thing.  Enter the “Intown [sic] Restaurant Stimulus” (betcha thought I was talking about the other IRS).  From April 19-23, and again on the 26-30th, a handful of …

Henri’s Bakery In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #8

Yesterday marked my first sandwich tour stop in over a week.  It was a needed break; but, I am happy to be back in the saddle.  After hitting up a handful of “gourmet” sandwich shops, I thought it would be good to return with a trip to a straight forward bakery. Henri’s Bakery … this …

Thank You Rain – Varasano’s Opens [Quick Hits]

Tonight, Varasano’s Pizzeria, one of the most anticipated Atlanta restaurants, finally opened its doors.  Despite a tremendous amount of recent attention directed at the Peachtree Hills pizzeria, the crowd was very manageable.  Similar to what happened with FLIP, a little bit of rain clearly kept some people away.  Thank goodness! I expect it to get …

Souper Jenny In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #7

Today’s lunch excursion took me to Souper Jenny.  Flying solo, the idea of ordering two sandwiches all by my lonesome intimidated me.  As luck would have it, my 2:00 was in Buckhead and Souper J allowed me to meet the two sandwich requirement without having to gorge myself.  I have dined at SJ a handful …

Varasano’s Pizzeria Opens Wednesday, March 25th!

Straight from the horses mouth people!  While Jeff had privately mentioned a Tuesday opening (and even went so far as to talk about it on FB), he has let it be known that Varasano’s Pizzeria is opening this Wednesday and NOT THIS TUESDAY! How many people does it take to ruin a good thing?  Answer: …
