Eleanor’s: A Cocktail Bar from Muss & Turner’s Goes Live

So the gang from Muss & Turners has gotten together and opened themselves a little cocktail bar. Aptly named Eleanor’s (after one of their longtime employees), Eleanor’s is a cocktail bar with some food offerings from the newly M&T’s next door.

DaVinci’s Pizzeria Delivery – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [Quick Hits]

The Setting: My Home The Meal: DaVinci’s, a Midtown pizzeria that delivers. Important Note: These pictures are of well-done pizza as we requested that time. Unless you’re a person in your late teens or early 20s, delivery probably isn’t a staple of your life.  For those of us not knee deep in Maruchan ramen or “couch …

Ramen, Tacos, and Barbecue … and Tooshie Talk [Quick Hits]

Another day, another mini-food tour that is my burden. At least I had good company!

Carniceria Ramirez Taqueria Review – Smyrna, Atlanta, GA [Food Finds]

So while I curse the gods at the disappearing act my post pulled at 2am last night, you can read my feeble attempt at recapturing my literary glory.  Go head, I’ll just be hitting golf balls off my roof at passing cars. At best the word authentic is a loose interpretation of the reality.  More …

Yakitori Jinbei Restaurant Review – Smyrna, GA [Updates]

Since my introduction to Yakitori Jinbei in late 2009 (thanks Spark Plug), the restaurant has worked itself into my regular rotation.  I’ve introduced several people to the joint, told countless others, and return whenever I get a hankering for some ramen.

Cafe Alice Restaurant Review – Smyrna, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

Café Alice is one of those non-descript restaurants that exists in every strip center in every city around the country.  In this case, you’ll find this glorified sandwich shop in the Windy Hill Shopping Center off Cobb Pkwy.  It’s probably family owned (seemingly Asian in persuasion) and the idea of being “chef driven” is as …
