FIG Charleston

March 5, 2016

At this moment I’m taking a short study break from some mid-terms I have due tomorrow for a graduate degree I’m pursuing at Texas A&M (whoop!) Enrolling seemed like a good idea a year ago, but is now the reason I dread Sunday evenings, when the week’s assignments are due. But, I’m nearly half way through the program, I just booked […]

More Asheville & Curate

January 7, 2015

Just two months ago Asheville was a topic on this formerly Atlantan site, but guess what, you’re about to be force-fed Asheville again, but in tapas format, which is more manageable, and great for sharing! It was the holiday season and I took wifey to the Biltmore, which I’d never seen, and even on a dreary […]

Craft Izakaya

September 14, 2014

Craft Izakaya has opened in the new-new Krog St Market. It’s been rocking for a few weeks now, with some people making a dozen visits to my lowly one. I’ve been out of town and/or sick for nearly the last three weeks, so I’m eager to hit up some restaurants, and lately there are plenty of new options to […]

Japan: Drinks

October 23, 2013

Drinks in Japan deserved a post of its own, because, well, I had a lot of water, sake, beer, liquor, tea, and coffee on the trip. In the photo above I’m just chillin’, drinking green tea in my ryokan in Kyoto watching sumo, which is sort of a fun viewing, even if not completely understood. Much tea […]

The Spence / Milk Punch

November 9, 2012

I wasn’t sure what to expect of the The Spence, the few month old partnership between Concentrics and sometimes-Atlanta-Chef Richard Blais, but I was cautiously optimistic they could deliver something fun, interesting, and hopefully noteworthy to Atlanta. I missed Blais’ heyday, but have read of his menu styles from Blais and Element and Home, and have […]

The Raleigh Restaurants of Ashley Christensen

August 7, 2012

fish and chips – tuna tartare, mayo, deviled egg, pickled beans Yes, another post that isn’t Atlanta. But I love traveling, eating, and being a big dork with my camera. So here you go. Raleigh has become one of my favorite cities to visit when I travel, namely due to one person – Ashley Christensen. […]

Birfday Fun – Braves, Rathbun Steak, The Lawrence

April 19, 2012

Yesterday was my birthday, and when I wasn’t getting teary eyed over the scores of people who congratulated my 31st year on my Facebook timeline, I was watching the Braves game. To watch a game on my birthday has become somewhat of a tradition. The season has always just begun, the weather isn’t too hot, […]
