My head is spinning. Yesterday, I visited Verde Taqueria for lunch and the soft opening of Five Seasons Brewing Company for dinner. Both events were forgettable to say the least. While Verde was disappointing, Five Seasons was infuriating. Needless to say, I planned on using those experiences as the basis for my next two posts. …

Tiny Bistro Restaurant Review – Westside In Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Tiny Bistro is a new café just off the beaten path in the midtown/westside part of town. It’s pretty well hidden given that it faces the intersection of 8th and Marietta St. In fact, it’s so easy to miss that Adam, a FB guest blogger , and I were pretty sure we were going to …
Noon Midtown: Restaurant Review Brought To You By The Letter K – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
So I guess this is my first ever “live review.” I just sat down here at the newly opened Noon Midtown, the Katie Birmingham experiment over in the newly built 1010 Peachtree Building. The space is “airy” and open … clean lines and very slick decor. Me likee. It sort of reminds me of One …
Nam Vietnamese Restaurant – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [Quick Hits]
Nam is the Vietnamese restaurant concept from brother’s Alex and Chris Kinjo. (Alex seems to man this location more than Chris). You might recognize the brothers Kinjo; they have a knack for opening high-brow Asian restaurants around the city. In addition to Nam, the Kinjo’s own MF Sushi Bar and MF Buckhead. True to form, …

Star Provisions In Midtown: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #10
Oh Atlanta S&S Tour, how I have missed you! Travel, temporary sandwich burn out, and life in general caused me to miss a few weeks. What better way to get back in the saddle than with a trip to Star Provisions. In the realm of high-end gourmet shops, SP seems to garner a near godlike …

La Pietra Cucina Renovations Officially Underway
Yesterday, Papa Buddha and I hit up Bruce Logue’s La Pietra Cucina, our go to lunch destination. Since it opened, people have lambasted the establishment for its “decor.” Well, all that’s about to change as the main dining area has been sealed off and the windows have been filled with the following sign: – I’m curious …

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 …

The Nook Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
For the longest time, my previous rants on The Nook occupied the top spots on my popular posts list. As that list is based on the number of page views (aka – number of times someone read(s) each post), it was a bit of a surprise. Those writings were nothing more than news blurbs on …
