In search of culinary Nirvana
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 …

After a strong first encounter with Octopus Bar, the late night East Atlanta eatery in So Ba’s porch, I returned last night eager to enjoy a repeat appearance. I was stunningly disappointed. Nearly all of the goodwill Angus Brown and Nhan Le had garnered crashed in a blaze of “unglory.” This meal was such a …
While perusing my community message board this past morning, I stumbled across this particular exchange. Is it something y’all are dying to read? Probably not – in fact, this may be a complete and total waste of time. But it’s Friday, so let’s have a little fun. Basically, this is a cautionary tale of late …

I must, in all fairness, give credit where credit is due. A few months back, as my West Coast food orgy impended, I got an email from one of my best friends. Though he’s a guy who finds food as interesting as petrified wood, he happens to call East Atlanta home. Consequently, he tipped me …

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. …

In a lot of ways, Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand is an all out surprise. You’ll find Delia’s on a somewhat downtrodden strip of Moreland Ave just south of I20 and roughly a half mile from East Atlanta Village. Not exactly the epicenter of Atlanta’s food scene, you’ll know it by the sharp orange and green …

Since Perla Taqueria first showed up, the restaurant has already had it’s fair share of adversity. A fire delayed the December opening of this Piedmont Heights taqueria, located in a converted Mrs. Winner’s, until just a few weeks ago. Despite this, one would be hard pressed to find evidence of said destruction inside of the …
Last night, I rolled out of the house ‘bout 8pm hell bent on a mission. You see, Buford Highway is canvassed with Korean restaurants. It’s a cuisine I love and covered in the past and a culinary adventure reviewed extensively by stalwarts like Eat, Drink, Man (linky), Take Thou Food (linky), and Chow Down Atlanta …

When word spread that Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks in Midtown had closed, Atlanta’s food fans took a collective sigh. Though not everyone found the place destination worthy, Woody’s had a distinct personality and better than average grub. Opened in 1975 by David Pastoria, the free standing hut had served as a fixture of quirky Atlanta …
