In search of culinary Nirvana
If you take a trip down to the corner of Edgewood and Waddell, you’ll find yourself smack dab in front of one of Atlanta’s newest southern food spots, albeit a slightly modified one. Sauced, a new rendition from the gang at Ria’s Bluebird, is just about ready to rock and roll. As you’ll see from …

On a recent working weekend, after Adam and I were rejected by Busy Bee Cafe (they are closed on Saturdays), we were forced to look elsewhere for grub. We volleyed back and forth until Adam suggested Paschal’s, a long-standing highbrow soul food joint. It’s amazing to me how many times I’ve visited Castleberry Hills for …

Overall:[rating:2.5] Few Atlanta institutions are as unheralded as the White House Restaurant. While it may not have the following of the Colonnade or the name recognition of the Varsity, the White House holds up just fine in a comparative analysis. Part Greek diner and part meat and three Southern eatery, this Buckhead breakfast/lunch spot has …

Last night, I had the pleasure of hitting Wisteria with CND. Unfortunately for Wisteria, the majority of the enjoyment was the company I was in and not the food I was served. Part first impression, part quick hits, this was my first full meal at Wisteria and my first visit of any kind in over …

Overall:[rating:1] JCT Kitchen just donkey punched me… alright, just had to get that out of the way. I’ve been all up and over the Westside recently. In that spirit, it’s no surprise then that I found myself dining at JCT Kitchen yet again. It’s time to throw some more stars out, and so JCT gets …
Overall:[rating:2] Ahhhhhhhhh … everyone’s favorite gut buster … none other than Carver’s Grocery on the Westside of Midtown. Okay, in all technicality – what you have is a restaurant (aka Carver’s Country Kitchen) inside a grocery (aka Carver’s Grocery). The reality is that in all my years of visiting the Carver’s and their restaurant, I’ve …
Grovel … grrrr … harrumph. Why do you do it to me? You show so much promise, invoke so much potential, and yet … when it’s all said and done, I feel like I just gave $15 to one of those unmentionables hanging on the corner of Ponce & Blvd. At the end of the …
This is a first impression if there ever was one. Thursday, May 21, 2009: the laptop closed, the door slammed, and I bustled my hustle over to Abattoir Chophouse just as soon as I could wrap up my 9-5. I’m such a restaurant whore! Thankfully, I had a little detour on the way over to …
Despite our swelling population, Atlanta is still very much a small town. Word travels quick, and every foodie and their mother seem to flock to each newly minted restaurant. While Livingston has already attracted several bloggers, not many of us have chatted it up. Atlanta is steeped in tradition. Underneath the new, there is always …

A restaurant review from the airport? Yup yup! My return flight landed just after 8:00 in the Post Meridian; the ideal time to go grab a bite. So I took the opportunity to check out One Flew South, the newly opened “fine dining” experience over in the E Terminal. Damn Delta for landing me in …
