LA Food Truck Review: Kogi Tacos

LA is the mothership of the current food truck rage that has seeped into America’s largest metropolises and bustling college towns.  In fact, Roaming Hunger, where we track food trucks from all over the country, is based out of Los Angeles.  So it’s no surprise that street food has become somewhat old hat in the …

Takorea Korean Tacos: Things That Make You Go Hmmm

For the past few years, Atlanta’s Korean taco market has been dominated by Tomas Lee’s Hankook Taqueria and their hand in the cookie jar food truck spin-off Yumbii.  Recently, Lee expanded into Midtown Atlanta with the opening of Takorea, a near carbon copy of his concept from the backwoods of Westside. Once you strip away …

OMG Taco Restaurant Review – Little Five Points, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

As long as I’ve been around, Little Five Points has never really been known as a culinary destination.  This notwithstanding the good number of eateries sprinkled up and down Moreland Ave.  But before you stand up and scream foul, I’m not saying that there aren’t places with strong support from we who chow with fervor.  …

Bad Dog Taqueria Restaurant Review – Emory, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

In a very Signal v Noise sense, there’s a lot of noise out there about Bad Dog Taqueria, and not a lot of signal.  Several sites have put up content on the new Emory Village taqueria, but most of said material is regurgitated cursory information.  I’ll do my best to give that info one more spin …

Yumbii Taco Truck: And So It Begins … [Street Food]

With yesterday’s little tweet, Atlanta’s lust for true street food culture just got one step closer to reality.  Yes that’s right, the people behind the Yumbii Taco Truck are now licensed to start rolling around the streets of the Dirty South and sling Korean tacos in every direction.  Powered by Hankook Taqueria, I think they’ll …

Hankook Taqueria And Korean Tacos Get Mainstream Love

Just a few days ago, I stepped back into Hankook Taqueria and had a fairly flat experience.  I’m actually working on that post as we speak.  However, owner Tomas Lee just got a whole heck of a lot of attention for his Hankook Taqueria and their Yumbii Taco Truck that is sure to bring them …

Young Augustine’s Restaurant Review – Grant Park, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

Grant Park’s Young Augustine’s rose from the ashes of The Standard early this year.  This neighborhood take on the gastro pub is the brainchild of Chris Johnson, owner of The Standard, Andy Gonzales, a well traveled chef, and Kyle Faucher, the manager who I know little about.  While the fate of the Standard seemed set …

Hankook Taqueria Restaurant Review – Westside, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

A lot of people have postulated as to why Hankook Taqueria, the one part Korean cafeteria and one part taqueria, has opened on the Westside.  Whatever the reason, the addition of a Korean inspired restaurant over yonder helps to expand the culinary landscape.  While there are a handful of establishments that serve Korean cuisine, not …
