Boccalone: San Francisco’s Meatiest Haven

In the linguistic sense, I’m pretty sure that boccalone in Italian translates to “big mouth” “a gullible person” in English. In the tangible sense, Boccalone is a ragingly popular San Francisco salumeria (meat store) from Mark Pastore and Chris Cosentino that’s located in the famed San Francisco Ferry Building.  I can assure you the naming …

The Sentinel: Get Freaky With Their Muffin [San Francisco]

Beneath a nondescript blue awning, in a tiny and simply adorned space, sits a little sandwich shop and breakfast stop that publishes one serious MOTHER TRUCKIN MUFFIN.  These housemade muffins come courtesy of The Sentinel, a Dennis Leary [the chef … not the “Asshole”] helmed dispensary in San Francisco’s Financial District.  Take note: it took …

Ink.Sack: LA’s Trending Sandwich Shop Doesn’t Stack Up To Atlanta’s Best

This is a tale of two sandwich shops.  One is Ink.Sack, a small take-out sandwich shop from Top Chef alum Michael Voltaggio.  It’s flashy, it’s forward thinking, and it’s got a reputation to uphold.  Thanks to its celeb chef and its location in little strip of shops on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, the bar …

Super Pan’s Medio Dia: Atlanta’s Best Sandwich?

When Hector Santiago’s crew at Super Pan really puts their mind to it, the mediodia, a rift on the classic medianoche, is perhaps the single best sandwich Atlanta has to offer.  There is both good and not so good in this tiny sandwich shop located in Atlanta’s Poncey-Highland neighborhood; but when we fixate solely on …

A Victory For Sandwiches In Inman Park [First Impressions]

Let’s assume for a second that you have yet to step foot inside of Victory Sandwich Bar, the 9-month old bouncing baby Inman Park sandwich shop.  If you find yourself in that unfortunate group of people, I have a suggestion: Lie and say you have.  That’s right.  I said it and I meant it. I’d …

The Most Annoying Restaurant Review Ever

inspired and thus restricted by CHOW, apologies on tense shifts 100 miles or more is a long way to travel for crazy delicious food cooked to perfection; but, according to some article whose whereabouts escape me, food focused vacations are on the rise.  That spike is directly related to the increased popularity of things like …

Cafe Jonah & The Magical Attic – Buckhead, Atlanta, GA [A Review In Pictures]

In the heart of Atlanta’s ritzy Buckhead neighborhood sits a bright white house with a light grey roof and red trim.  It’s just off the beaten path and a stones throw from the area’s Whole Foods Market.  If not for the droves of cars in the parking lot, one might think this a residence.  But …
