Café Agora in Midtown Just Around The Corner [Openings]

Good news for we fans of Café Agora, a Buckhead gyro and Mediterranean spot where I’ve popped more foodie cherries at than I can count.  In July, the Atlanta Business Chronicle broke the news that Café Agora was adding a satellite location in Midtown.  At the time, ABC reported that Agora hoped to be open …

Cafe Agora’s Not Really Secret Menu Secret [Quick Hits]

While it’s far from the most expensive thing in town and there are certainly more elevated restaurants  in the city, Buckhead’s Café Agora always finds its way onto my list of favorite/best/suggested eats in Atlanta.  Not much has changed with the food since I used Agora as an early guinea pig in my writing career.  …

The Gyro Stand At Opera Nightclub [Food Finds]

You know you’re a food addict when you find yourself verbally sparring with some pseudo parking attendant in the hopes of navigating droves of drunk club bunnies in an attempt to grab a late night fix.  Truth be told, my recent exchange with some dude at the intersection of Crescent Ave & 14th street was …

The White House Restaurant Review – Buckhead, Atlanta, GA

Overall:[rating:2.5] Few Atlanta institutions are as unheralded as the White House Restaurant.  While it may not have the following of the Colonnade or the name recognition of the Varsity, the White House holds up just fine in a comparative analysis.  Part Greek diner and part meat and three Southern eatery, this Buckhead breakfast/lunch spot has …

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 …
