In search of culinary Nirvana
Craig Richards of La Tavola in Virginia Highlands has been serving up straight up Italian food for the past several years at the neighborhood trattoria. As many with many residents of Atlanta, Richards didn’t start off here. He relocated to Atlanta from Kansas by way of Kansas City. While in Kansas City, Richards had the …

Ladies and gentleman, vegetarians and pescatarians of all ages, get ready to check out BaconFest 2010 this Saturday, March 27th. Hosted annually by Dad’s Garage Theatre Company in Inman Park, the fundraiser features the predictably awesome combination of beer, bands, and bacon! Admittedly, I’m not such a big fan of the first part, but it’s …

The love affair with Frank Ma South has come and gone in this city. Late in 2008 when Frank Ma moved in with the gang at Chopsticks in the Emory area, all hell broke loose. Most everyone got all giddy at the idea of a seemingly authentic Chinese restaurant located somewhere other than BuHi. I …

Recently I had the opportunity to try out Two Urban Licks, a restaurant owned by the same folks that run One Midtown Kitchen and Trois. Self described as ‘fiery American food,’ Two Urban Licks offers a diverse menu that changes daily, and offers hearty seasonal dishes with options that even fill up gluten-free bellies. I …

(photo Courtesy of Steven Eubanks) Got a very cool email yesterday. Unfortunately, my throbbing head prevented me from putting together a coherent sentence, much less a full post. Anyway, here’s the deal. Playboy.com has a habit of putting together top lists, and Atlanta has a habit of showing up on them (Clermont Lounge anyone?). …

As time goes by, I am presented with the opportunity to head back to some of the restaurants I’ve already chatted up. Since my initial visit to DBA Barbecue, there have been a number of changes. Doug Morgan has moved on, and in his place, we have Drew Kirkland. Kirkland, who was previously stationed at …

Firefly is the shizzle. For anyone who hasn’t had it: it’s sweet tea vodka that is dangerous good. My preferred serving: splash of water + lime juice. It turns out that Firefly Distillers, the gang behind the beast, has a handful of other “flavors.” When Ron Eyester and the gang at Rosebud caught wind of …
This is one of those post-meal scribbles that makes me scratch my head. Mind you, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Instead, I’m wondering how it is possible that all these restaurants keep opening when heavyweights like The Dining Room and corporate backed endeavors like the ESPN Zone are shutting their …

Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday and today. Real life beckons when you’ve been on the lamb for a few weeks. Still, I’ve managed to get back into the foodie thing with my return to the ATL. Last night, I found myself at Fritti, the popular pizza joint that sits just outside of Inman …
