Favorite { Dining – Drinking – Cooking } of 2012

January 3, 2013

Happy New Year! 2012 was another big year of living, and though I’m not as diligent with the old blog anymore, my appetite remains. As in years past, I wanted to put together a few thoughts and photos from some of my favorite dining, cooking, and drinking moments from the year that was. Humble-brags…yes, fair; but [...]

Favorites of 2011 [Dining]

December 28, 2011

(Click here for Flickr slideshow) or click the image above for full size shot. Moving on from Cooking and Booze, these are some of my favorites dishes from 2011. Similar to last year, it’s a solid mix of Atlanta and out-of-town dining, with NYC and my honeymoon heavy in the rotation. I’ve been blessed to have [...]

Favorites of 2011 [Booze]

December 24, 2011

Favorites of 2010 – Wine

January 2, 2011

The third and final installment of my favorite photo-chronicled and legal moments of 2010 is about wine. If wine bores you, you may want to skip this post. This year I may have learned more about wine than I did food, having developed a much firmer opinion of the wines that I like to drink [...]

Favorites of 2010 – Dining Out

December 30, 2010

Yep, I do year end summary posts just like everyone else! It’s a lot of fun to look back at photos and think about the year that has passed by so quickly. It’s been a great year for me. I took on another job at work, learning how to manage an accounting office on the [...]

Best of Atlanta 2009

September 24, 2009

the black spaghetti with rock shrimp at La Pietra Cucina Creative Loafing posted their Best of Atlanta list yesterday, something I enjoy perusing every year. True, these kinds of lists are somewhat copy-selling fodder, but there are two reasons I like reading the loaf’s list – one, I like seeing which ridiculous destinations the public [...]

Eat It Atlanta – Top Drawer, 2008

December 31, 2008

Everyone is doing “Best of 2008″ lists, so why should I be the exception? This site has only been going since the end of July, but I do have roughly 125 posts to work with, so hopefully I can pull out ten that aren’t absolute garbage. I say ten because top 10 lists rule. The [...]
