In search of culinary Nirvana
A few days ago, I found myself running around the town of Highlands, North Carolina. Sitting comfortably atop the southern portion of North Carolina, Highlands is roughly two-hours via auto from Atlanta. As such, it’s a popular sport for weekend getaways and summer excursions for those of us who call the ATL home. My day …

Meat [sic] the Rubik’s Cubewich! Words just aren’t enough to explain how cool this is: According to the OP, that sandwich is made up of pastrami, kielbasa, pork fat, salami, and two types of cheddar. Kick ass!!!! [Via TIWYF From insanewiches] Technorati Tags: funny,sandwiches,rubik’s cube
Slowly, but surely, we eek along. Some four months after my first sub tour pit stop, I find we are just now passing the 3/4 flag. You know what they say … time flies when you are having fun. Yesterday’s meal found me all alone at the Bread Garden. Tucked away on Amsterdam Walk near …

So yesterday was LottaFrutta; that quirky and offbeat food stop down in the Old 4th Ward/Inman Park. A self-proclaimed fruit house and market, it translates into a fruit bar with sandwiches and salads. Their style is unique (at least to this town); and, as such, it was time that I took the Atlanta Sub & …

Café at Pharr in Buckhead has been around for a long time. Soon after the Braves were cheated out of a World Series victory by Kent Hrbek [yeah – I’m talking to you!!!], this place opened (circa 1992). I actually remember eating here inside their first month of operation. What a cute little foodie I …

In the past year, Atlanta has taken a few stiff upper cuts to its Cuban jaw. Fire gutted Havana (reportedly due to arson) in October after owner Silvesonso Ramirez closed Midtown’s Kool Korner Grocery in August. The opportunity gave Papi’s (pronounced like Poppy seed) the chance to snag market share. Backed by an already strong …

A long time ago in a sandwich shop, far away… I best most of ya’ll thought I had forgotten about the sub & sandwich tour. Truth is, I just got a bit worn out on sandwiches. While I did grab a few sandwiches in the past few weeks, my rate of consumption plummeted. The time …

It what is sure to bring droves of binge drinkers, alcoholics, and inebriated college kids a new lease on life, big news has hit the web. Well, actually, it hit about a month ago … but I’m just now hearing about it! According to some scientist, bacon isn’t just tasty, it helps cure hangovers. Who …

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 …
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 …
