Sublime Donuts

February 17, 2016

It shouldn’t be anything new to anyone who has lived in Atlanta for a few years, but Sublime donuts can be off the charts delicious. I’m not a major frequenter of sweets or desserts, but every so often I get a craving and man, does Sublime deliver. On my most recent visit I was able to take a relatively […]

Gavage [Tampa, Asheville, AJ’s, Heirloom, Calle Latina, Miso Izakaya]

April 12, 2013

Been a while since I’ve had a Gavage post, in which I dump a bunch of content not necessarily appropriate for a single topic post. You could also call it the “hey, look what I’ve been doing” series, or the “yeah, I eat and drink a lot and my doctor said I may have a […]

North Carolina [Price’s – J. Betski’s – Poole’s – Spring House – Biscuitville

March 21, 2013

Another post for the travelers out there. I want some new Atlanta content but have been a little uninspired lately. Also, I’ve been traveling a lot, and when I was in town last week I was dealing with what my doctor thinks was a nasty foodborne infection that caused severe pain whenever I ate. Hey, […]

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 […]

Chocolate, cheese, macaroons, butter, bread. France does them about as well as anywhere. Using davidlebovitz.com as our guide, we sought out some of the best in each category. Below are two of the more famed chocolatiers – Patrick Roger and Pierre Marcolini. If nothing else, Patrick Roger is worth the visit for the stunning air […]

Double Zero Napoletana

August 8, 2011

It’s tough out there for a blogger. You visit a restaurant in the opening days, you’re a glory-seeker and the pros roll their eyes at you, especially if you pan the place. Wait a few months, and those writing for a living have already provided their official starred review. It makes me wonder about the […]

Cranberry and Blueberry Pie

December 2, 2010

I made this pie for Thankgiving, my first pie ever. I added a few drops of vanilla and then tied up some cardamom seeds in cheese cloth to add more flavor to the filling. I probably overworked the pie dough a bit too much, but I’ll get the hang of it. I also didn’t do […]

Le Bernardin Dinner by Biskuit

October 29, 2010

Biskuit (aka Thirsty South) hosted another “gastronomic club” dinner at his house. It would be tough to follow up the previous French Laundry inspired dinner, but he and Eric Ripert’s On the Line cookbook were up to the challenge. The food and wines were excellent. Biskuit went so far as to repeatedly email the head sommelier at Le Bernardin […]
