Salt Yard

June 13, 2013

Salt Yard has opened on Peachtree Rd, next door to the new(ish) Watershed in The Brookwood condo building. They share a valet in the parking garage. They feature – get this – small plates. The menu is slightly worrisome to a seasoned eater. There’s quite a bit of breadth, with little focus except on the [...]

Lots to do today. I’ll make this brief. I attended the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival as a photographer for Eater. Here is a link to the Eater article with some photos.  Here is Josh Ozersky talking about the festival.  Here is a link to my Flickr set.

Brother Journal

June 3, 2013

Ryan Smith, Andrew Thomas Lee, Alvin Diec, and Wyatt Williams have created a new single-topic food magazine named Brother. I picked one up at Empire State South after the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival this past Friday night. The first issue features Brandon Chonko of Grassroots Farm, where he raises chickens and his family. The [...]

Taka Health Inspection

May 19, 2013

Sushi is special to me, particularly nigiri, which is synonymous with the word sushi, but I wanted to be clear on what I meant. There is no closer experience to your food and chef. In excellent conditions, one orders, and quickly the chef slices the fish, often time barely dangling it from a finger to avoid increasing [...]

May 12, 2013

As I mentioned the other day, I’m still catching up on some out of town posts…I have a Vegas post that is long overdue, but after that and this, I should be current. Though, I am in Japan right now and that should fill the backlog for quite some time. Obviously, it’s very important that [...]

First visit to BoccaLupo, in the former Sauced (Ria’s) location on Edgewood, which is helmed by Bruce Logue who opened La Pietra Cucina, back when it was good. He makes pasta. I ate some. And photographed. I had a ravioli style deal with mushrooms and young (not as bitter) rapini. Nice and light. Tomatoes and [...]

Burgers and BBQ

May 2, 2013

Last week I was in Creative Loafing writing about Heirloom BBQ. I like that place. How did I not have their Brunswick stew until last week? It’s my new favorite – love the brightness/acidity/whatever you wanna call it. The week prior I contributed a small bit to Eater’s Burger week. They list some good burgers on [...]

Villains Wicked Heroes

April 27, 2013

Villains Wicked Heroes, the anticipated sandwich shop from Alex Brounstein (Grindhouse), Jason McClure (FLIP Buckhead), and Jared Lee Plyes (HD1) just opened in Midtown this week. Having all week had a strong craving for a satisfying sandwich, I decided to make an early visit, which can be risky. But it’s a sandwich shop, I wouldn’t [...]
