Côte de Nuits

September 19, 2011

Here we are getting goofy in the Côte de Nuits, the greatest stretch of vineyards in the universe, as far as I’m concerned. Covering a short 25-30 miles from Dijon to Beaune, it contains all of the red Grand Crus in Burgundy, except for those South of Beaune in Corton. It is a special place, hallowed […]

Projectes 24 – Carles Abellán (Bravo, Comerç)

September 9, 2011

After spending a week in France, extensively traveling on foot, train, and tiny rental car, Barcelona was a welcome treat. There is plenty to see and do in this party loving town, but we spent the first two days with our feet up at the resort-style W hotel on the waterfront. Though it’s only a […]

Sweets in Paris

September 2, 2011

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 […]

Pez Vela – Paella

September 1, 2011

While in Barcelona we hit up Pez Vela, a relatively new paella restaurant at the base of the W Hotel, right on the beach. Ever since, I can’t stop thinking about paella. Has anyone ever had one that was good in Atlanta? Doing it at home is probably the best option. I have a paella […]

Le Chateaubriand

August 29, 2011

Of the many meals I was looking forward to in August, Le Chateaubriand was very high on the list. Besides being ranked the 9th best restaurant in the world in the latest San Pellegrino list, they’ve received high praise from a trusted friend. Chef Iñaki Aizpitarte’s restaurant has been highly polarizing from day one, with […]

Beaune Market

August 25, 2011

We’re just back from our 12 day honeymoon adventure. It was fantastic. Too much so perhaps. I’m tired, full, permanently buzzed, and a good bit poorer than when we left. I look forward to getting some new Atlanta related posts out there, trying a few (inexpensive) new restaurants and cooking more often, but in the […]

Honeymoon

August 17, 2011

I’ll be out of commission from Atlanta food blogging for the next week or two as Katie and I are on our honeymoon. We were so tired after the wedding (it was a great one btw!) and we’ve slept a ton since the moment we got on the plane. But of course, we’ve gorged on […]

Not in the Kitchen

August 3, 2011

I’ve been dying to get back in the kitchen and cook some stuff up for the old blog, but lately life has been getting in the way. I moved in with Katie in anticipation of our wedding (in 10 days!), trading in my spacious, marble counter topped, endless cabinet spaced kitchen for an older closet-esque […]
