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 …

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 …

I’m A Whole Lotta Wrong About LottaFrutta

Atlanta’s Queen of the Blogs has confirmed that LottaFrutta is indeed still open.  Not sure why they didn’t pick up the phone when I called a couple of times… but alas – head over without fear.  Thanks for the report BG! LottaFrutta Restaurant Address & Information: 590 Auburn Ave, Atlanta, GA 30312 // P: 404.588.0857 …

Sawicki’s In Decatur: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #9

Well, sorry that it’s so late in the day.  I had a lot going on … but, I wanted to get this up today.  We are fast approaching the half-way point in the Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour.  To date, there have only been a couple of strong showings.  Luckily, today’s lunch at Sawicki’s marked …

Henri’s Bakery In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #8

Yesterday marked my first sandwich tour stop in over a week.  It was a needed break; but, I am happy to be back in the saddle.  After hitting up a handful of “gourmet” sandwich shops, I thought it would be good to return with a trip to a straight forward bakery. Henri’s Bakery … this …

LottaFrutta In Inman Park Temporarily Closed (I Think)

So a good friend informed me today that LottaFrutta seems to be temporarily down for the count.   I ate lunch there a little over a week ago and I’m not surprised.  Apparently, the hiatus is due to construction.  I called down earlier and nobody picked up the phone.  If I hear otherwise, I’ll let ya’ll …

Souper Jenny In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #7

Today’s lunch excursion took me to Souper Jenny.  Flying solo, the idea of ordering two sandwiches all by my lonesome intimidated me.  As luck would have it, my 2:00 was in Buckhead and Souper J allowed me to meet the two sandwich requirement without having to gorge myself.  I have dined at SJ a handful …

Muss & Turner’s In Vinings, Smyrna: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #6

I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time in the Vinings area the past few days.  After a great lunch at Social Vinings on Tuesday and a disaster of a meal at nearby South City Kitchen later that night, I returned today to hit up Muss & Turner’s for lunch.  I haven’t spent this much time …

Social Vinings In Smyrna: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #5

I try my best to visit new Atlanta eateries sometime within the first 48-hours of their opening.  I think it’s always fun to try new places and it also helps me establish a baseline for the given restaurant. In addition, watching a restaurant develop and mature is part of the fun of what I do. …

Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #4

While I am determined to focus on local restaurants during my various “Buddha Tours,” I think I would be remiss if I did not include at least a few chain restaurants.  For my Sub & Sandwich Tour, the first chain I visited was Jimmy John’s.  The franchise is relatively new to this area of the …
