Two Urban Licks Review
Posted in Uncategorized on January 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
We were running late. Very late. I called and asked to have our reservation moved from 8 to 8:30, and they said to get there as fast as we could. They were booked solid until 10p.m., but they’d fit us in. We arrived at 8:30. After valeting and wading through a sea of patrons, I [...]
Fritti Now Open 7 Days a Week!
Posted in News, tagged fritti, highlands, pizza on January 20, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I love Fritti. I’m not part of the pizza elite, so I can’t comment on the pizza scene in Atlanta, but I always enjoy hanging out there and enjoying their pizza. Therefore, I was very happy to hear that they’re open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week now.
Bacchanalia Review
Posted in restaurant review, tagged bacchanalia, farm to table, star provisions, west midtown on January 19, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Bacchanalia has been around for a very long time. Before I even moved to Georgia, I was aware of Bacchanalia, notoriously mentioned in every list of elite restaurants in the city of Atlanta. So how do I go about covering a restaurant that has garnered every accolade, been featured in every major publication, and been [...]
Foodie Atlanta Dinner Event – Bacchanalia
Posted in events, wine dinner, tagged bacchanalia, west midtown on January 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It’s looking like before we unveil our big event for the spring, we’re going to do our second event at Bacchanalia. The cost will be $125/person, and it should be an incredible and unforgettable extravaganza. I’m capping this one at 20 people, to make it cozy. Please email me as soon as humanly possible at [...]
Dinner Tonight: Salad?
Posted in cooking, tagged greens, hanger steak, sweet potato on January 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I love three-ingredient salads. I was turned on to this type of salad when I had the duck confit, butternut squash and local greens bowl at Abattoir. So tonight I thought I’d do something similar: baby field greens, roasted sweet potato and hanger steak. I wish there was more to write about it, but other [...]
Social Vinings Review (Lunch)
Posted in restaurant review, tagged cougar, lunch, vinings on January 17, 2010 | 44 Comments »
Vinings is a special part of Atlanta. Straddling the perimeter and desperately trying to reap the benefits of city life with the copacetic, predictable nature of suburban life, it has attracted an affluent demographic. And with it has developed somewhat of a fine dining culture. Undoubtedly this dining scene is far better than the never-ending [...]
The Foodie Atlanta Tasting Dinners
Posted in events, tagged dinner, events, tasting on January 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’m thrilled to say that the first official Foodie Atlanta dinner is full and taking place on February 2, 2010 at JCT Kitchen. But what makes a Foodie Atlanta dinner event any different from other “special” dinners being hosted around town? Easy enough: we’re food groupies. The kitchen is our band, and we’re there to [...]
JCT Kitchen Review (Lunch)
Posted in restaurant review, tagged lunch, southern, west midtown on January 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Happily ensconced in the back side of the Westside Urban Market, flanked by the Bacchanalia / Star Provisions empire and the Taquería del Sol fortress, is JCT Kichen and Bar. Self-described as a classic Southern style bistro, and there being entirely too many mediocre places in Atlanta with the same label, I rued the day [...]
Woodfire Grill Review
Posted in restaurant review, tagged buckhead, tasting, Top Chef, Woodfire Grill on January 13, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I should have visited the Woodfire Grill a few more times before posting a review, but after my live tweeting and the build-up leading to our outing to Kevin Gillespie’s baby, I reasoned I had to go ahead and give you my impressions so far. Simply stated, my Woodfire Grill dinner experience was nothing short [...]
