In search of culinary Nirvana
It’s been several years since Taka Moriuchi packed his knives, left his position as understudy to sushi God Sotohiro Kosugi (aka the dude who ran the much discussed Soto), and settled in as the leader of Taka Sushi Café. Much like my father, it took me some time before I warmed to the idea of …

While playing with any convention is dangerous territory, it doesn’t mean it can’t be lighthearted and fun. I believe that statement is a perfect representation of Taka Moriuchi, the facebooking blogger who also happens to produce some of the better sushi in the city. Taka-san has a habit of mixing things up a bit, and …

Most foodies know about the Michelin Guide; it is the most notable ratings guide I can think of. This year, former Atlanta resident Sotohiro Kosugi scored himself a star. His eponymous New York sushi bar is starting to pick up some of the acclaim that’s been long overdue. Congratulations to Sotohiro Kosugi, my favorite sushi …
Adam (aka guest blogger dude) and I were milling around the Westside a few days ago looking for a place to eat lunch at. Having spent the previous day gut busting around, I had a hankering for some sushi. A cheerful banter arose, so back and forth we went until Adam suggested Zen on Ten, …

It seems almost shameful. Not only am I deeply passionate about Japanese culture and cuisine, but I pride myself on visiting most anything that resembles a Japanese restaurant here in the Dirty. Such was the basis for my dismay as I met up with ChowDownAtlanta (website) for a little grub late last week. …
Last week, I was heading down West Paces Ferry towards Peachtree. As I pulled up to the traffic light, a “Now Open” sign caught my eye. Apparently, Bento Sushi, a little sushi bar, has opened near this intersection in the heart of Buckhead. If you aren’t a fan of online maps, you should note that …

If you read this blog with any regularity, then you are well aware of my absolute idolization of former Atlanta resident and world-renowned super chef Sotohiro Kosugi. Kosugi crushed us all when he took his game to the big apple. As it turns out, some people who read my review decided to stop in on …

Light years ahead of Ru San’s, miles behind the likes of MF Sushibar and Sushi House Hayakawa, the Ra Sushi chain has expanded into the deep south. To establish their foothold, Ra has setup shop in the sparkly glowy 1010 Peachtree Building in Midtown Atlanta. RA’s menu is splattered with words like volcano, Godzilla, and …
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 …
Dropped in at Holeman & Finch on Tuesday night. As luck would have it – they were serving up an anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, there was a special pork belly + coleslaw slider on the menu. I hate coleslaw, but this sucker was seriously bad ass! The pork belly was juicy and cooked to …
