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 […]

Eating on Vacation – Glacier National Park & Homer, Alaska

August 29, 2012

The trend of no Atlanta related posts continues, so here are photos from my trips to Glacier National Park and Homer, Alaska. But I should be able to whip up some content this weekend, with trips to Sushi Huku, the Speakeasy Cocktail festival, a fish fry, a suckling pig cook out, and a college football […]

Master Cleanse

July 9, 2012

Over the last few years, in great part because of this blog and like-minded friends/enablers, my obsession with food and beverage has reached new heights. I also have a personality where I obsess over and immerse myself into whatever the topic of interest is that day, week, or year. Before food it was working out – first […]

This past weekend I had the major itch to do some cooking. More on this at a later date, but for the week prior I had not eaten solid food, and it was interesting that my cravings were for all things bright, crunchy, and fresh. Also, I recently told myself I needed to cook through […]

A while back, the folks over in the Food Lab at Serious Eats got my attention, as they so often do, with a salivation-inducing headline – Deep Fried Pizza. The purist in me scoffed. The fatty in me clicked. Fried pizza has been making the rounds in New York over the last year, so it’s bound to […]

It was decided last month that when I have a glut of photos unrelated to a planned post, I’ll be calling it my “gavage” post. Suck it, California. Unlike our fatty geese friends, we humanoids do have a gag reflex, so apologies in advance for the force feeding you are about to endure.

Lobster Day

April 25, 2012

Fresh off the succes of our “Duck Feast”, my friends Aaron and Matt and I got together to break down another protein and make use of it in as many ways as possible. Duck wasn’t expensive enough, so we chose lobster. Once we acquired the hefty $12/lb lobsters from Dekalb Farmer’s Market (three of ’em […]

Pork Shoulder, Two Ways.

April 5, 2012

The weekend before last I cooked a bunch of pork for an engagement party. As a luau theme was chosen, I decided to cook classic kalua pork. Traditionally in Hawaii, kalua pork is prepared in an imu, where a pit is dug and they heat up coals and rocks (the rocks retain heat) then lay […]
