Photos from Cochon 555

February 25, 2013

Photos from Cochon 555. A fun event, there were many pork-snacks to be had. It’s tough to beat Guy Wong’s tonkotsu ramen – so satisfying. The craziest/best bite to me was Ryan Smith’s bologna soup dumpling (as in, the wrapper was made of pork). They weren’t even sure it would work until just before the [...]

2013 Liberty Park/Westside Chili Cook Off

February 7, 2013

Those of you who know me personally have probably received emails about this (more than you care for, likely), but the 6th annual chili cook-off that a buddy and I put on is a little over two weeks away, and anyone (non-weirdos, please) is welcome. Like last year, the casual cook-off will be held upstairs [...]

Storico Fresco Retail Shop

January 30, 2013

Storico Fresco is now open in Buckhead, at the corner of Andrews and Roswell Rd, in a somewhat hard to find spot behind the shops visible from the road. It’s a few doors down from Pie Shop if you know where that is. It’s tough to be a food fan in Atlanta and not be [...]

Fresh Catch

November 29, 2012

I definitely wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be called a fisherman by anyone I know. But a few months ago I went on a trip to Alaska with buddies and caught a hell of a lot of fish, and we returned to the lower forty-eight with our fair share. At first I was eating fish all the [...]

The Spotted Trotter

November 27, 2012

A recent need for some caul fat brought me to The Spotted Trotter, who said they could hook me up with some. I knew they would have it because they make these crepinettes which are like fantastic meatballs wrapped in the stuff. Spotted Trotter has been a mainstay of the Peachtree Road Farmer’s Market, where [...]

SFA Piggy Bank Dinner / Where I’ve Been

October 30, 2012

There hasn’t been much of substance on here in a while, and I’ve been going through the recurring introspection, guilt, and whining that comes with having a blog. I won’t apologize for not having posts, because it makes me want to puke when I read blogs that constantly do the “sorry I haven’t posted in [...]
