BoccaLupo

May 9, 2013

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 [...]

Squeaky Bean – Matsuhisa [Vail | Denver]

May 7, 2013

I have a few traveling posts queued up that I will be putting out over the next week or two. If you only want Atlanta content, you may want to ignore the blog. More than usual. Today is Vail and Denver, from a recent bro’ing out ski weekend with my pal Brian. It was a [...]

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 [...]

Texas BBQ Tour by The Legend

April 23, 2013

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a guest post. In general, my friends are bored of my food hobby and don’t read my blog. But my friend LEGEND still does, and he also has better tastes in food and wine than I do. In fact that’s how he’s earned the moniker. A young [...]

Gavage [Tampa, Asheville, AJ's, Heirloom, Calle Latina, Miso Izakaya]

April 12, 2013

Been a while since I’ve had a Gavage post, in which I dump a bunch of content not necessarily appropriate for a single topic post. You could also call it the “hey, look what I’ve been doing” series, or the “yeah, I eat and drink a lot and my doctor said I may have a [...]

Ben’s Brown Bag

April 5, 2013

First there was LeRoy’s Chicken (Leh-Roy, not Lee-Roy, bubba). They had everything going for it – high quality chicken, a classically trained and respected chef, rich and trendy pork lard for frying, and beautiful broasting fryers. Everything, except a consistently well executed fried chicken with an enjoyable (read: not flacid and falling apart gummy) exterior. [...]

Paper Plane

April 5, 2013

Paper Plane, the restaurant sharing space and ownership with the new Victory Sandwich Bar in Decatur, is now open. Victory has been open for a stretch, but I was waiting for the Paul Calvert helmed counterpart to open before I made the trek from Buckhead to Decatur. Paper Plane shares a kitchen with Victory, but [...]
