A sabbatical of sorts
It’s been a long time since I logged into this blog’s dashboard and I kind of feel like a jerk. You guys tagged along for all of my eating adventures and various gigs over the years and then I just left you hanging with no explanation. Yeah, I had a baby — a fantastic, hilarious [...]
Looking for lobster rolls in Atlanta? I’ve got you covered.
Some say the lobster roll was developed as a vehicle for well-heeled ladies to daintily eat the decadent crustacean at luncheons. Others say it was born to utilize the leftover parts of picked lobster. The stories of its origin are as varied as its preparations. A few things are certainly required though: A top-sliced bun, [...]
Spotted at Whole Foods: Fox Bros. and The King of Pops
Someone over at Whole Foods is doing something right because I keep seeing more and more local stuff at my Briarcliff WF store. The latest items I’ve found are some of the best yet. You can now get servings of Fox Bros.’ pulled pork with a little container of sauce in the meat section. They [...]
Recapping the 2012 Atlanta Food & Wine Festival
Somehow, this year’s Atlanta Food and Wine Festival felt grander than last year’s event. Although the format was the same – tons of great sessions to get your food nerd on, three days of revolving tasting tents (brilliant), and events/dinners galore – there was a sense of credibility in the air. The festival had earned [...]
Cheesesteak Place: Cheshire Bridge
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a cheesesteak shop I spied when driving down Cheshire. A commenter said this was the old location of a place still open in Ansley Mall. So, I deleted the post figuring I had missed the boat when out on “maternity leave.” Well, I went to go to [...]
Spotted: New cheesesteak place on Cheshire Bridge
No idea when it’s opening, but I’ll keep you posted when it opens and if it is any good.
Butchering classes at Pine Street Market
Spotted this sign attached to Pine Street Market’s stand at the first Peachtree Road Farmer’s Market of the season last weekend. I don’t know why but I have become obsessed with taking a butchering class. There was one my friend Gene Lee and I talked about doing together last year, but I was too pregnant. [...]
Fortune Cookie Restaurant: North Druid Hills
One of the biggest sucks about Atlanta is the dearth of good restaurants that deliver unless you go the Zifty or Fast Food Dude route. But you cannot deny that places like New York have us beat with options. We moved in between Emory and Buord Highway a couple of years ago and I was [...]
New permanent food truck park coming to Atlanta
Photo courtesy of Atlanta Food Truck Market and Park While I was traveling a few weeks ago, an old high school acquaintence, Howard Hsu, messaged me through Facebook to let me know about his new project: The Atlanta Food Truck Park & Market, a permanent food truck park. Fast forward to today and I receive [...]
A spicy smackdown at Tasty China on May 6th
Moon and I took little Z to Tasty China this past weekend for lunch. While she couldn’t eat anything and slept through the entire meal, I am pretty sure she is going to be a big fan. Speaking of big, looks like Tasty China has a fun event going on in May – a culinary [...]
Food Find: Storico Fresco Pasta
My first taste of Storico Fresco. Saturday mornings are my time. Moon hangs back with the girls and I do my market rounds. The Morningside Market for tons of fresh vegetables, Alon’s for carby treats, and Trader Joe’s for fun snacks to put in Junior’s lunch. On Sundays, we hit BuHi Farmer’s Market as a [...]
So, this happened.
Yup. I am a Mom. For those of you who have been with me for the past 7 (!) years, you’ve seen me go from singleton to married lady/step mom and now this. I can honestly say it is the best and most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. It is also the [...]
Golden House: Duluth
In the six plus years I have been doing the blog thing, one of the top three questions I get – aside from is that really your mouth in the picture (yes, it is) – is: where can I find good dim-sum in Atlanta. My answer has always been: no where. You see, my 4 [...]
BATON Supper Club featuring M. Wells
Part of the M. Wells team. Tonight marks the inaugural dinner of the BATON supper series. The brainchildren behind the operation are these lovely folks: Moses Archuleta and Bryson Tedford. Oh, if you recognize Moses that’s because he just happens to be a member of Pitchfork darling, Deerhunter. Archuleta and Tedford. BATON is a little [...]
Duluth: Box Chicken
Three years ago, Korean fried chicken exploded onto the Atlanta scene. However, most of the places that opened around that time didn’t last. The places that followed the “pioneers” weren’t as good or closed within a few months of opening. As a result, there hasn’t been anywhere to get a decent box of crunchy chicken [...]
Nibbles and news
I have a little news that’s exiting for me: in case you haven’t heard, Moon and I are expecting a baby in December and I also accepted as position as the Editor of Eater Atlanta. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you heard the news a couple of weeks ago, but I did [...]
Ethnic.City: Cafe 101
Reopening a restaurant with a new owner and chef while keeping the same name, look, and style of cuisine is a risky proposition no matter where you fall on the dining spectrum. That’s exactly what the owner of the “new” Café 101 (5412 Buford Highway, Doraville, 770-458-8399) has done. Once the darling of critics and [...]
Tasty Television: No Reservations’ “Techniques”
I have been so busy that my DVR queue was reaching full capacity. I used the long weekend to catch up on some of my food shows–more specifically the 19 Bourdain shows that had accumulated. I was thrilled to uncover this gem of a show featuring many culinary greats making what are pretty much all [...]
Ethnic.City: A Texican shame spiral
A couple weeks ago, I got a craving for Mexican food. Not the kind of Mexican food someone who grew up with an abuela who’d spend three days making massive batches of mole should crave. I wanted Texican, if you will. I figured the craving was fleeting — something I could snuff out with a [...]
Ethnic.City: Nam Phuong
I’ve never really understood how Vietnamese could be anyone’s favorite Asian cuisine. Sure, I always loved the standards — cha gio (fried spring rolls), bun, pho and green papaya salad — but, given the choice, I’d rather eat Korean or Japanese. That all changed the minute I experienced the expertly prepared wonders featured on Nam [...]
