Krog St. Market – Gu’s and Fred’s Sampling

May 22, 2015

Find of the month! I was sitting at a red light near the intersection of Irwin and Boulevard, watching someone on a bike doing some sort of stand-still balancing act with their pant leg of their jeans curiously curled up, grease swiped on her tattooed calf, when four electric vehicles came buzzing down Irwin in succession, so I decided […]

June & July Gavage

July 22, 2014

Hey there. I took these photos. If you didn’t see them on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or Tinder page, well then, you are in luck. Ever eaten an entire platter of chicken hearts? You can do so at Yet Tuh on Buford Highway. That place is neat. We didn’t order exceptionally well, and they missed one of our […]

Cooking, Here and There

March 6, 2014

It’s been a while since I’ve posted some recent cooking endeavors, so let’s do that. My brother and I cooked some of this post together, as we tend to do, with these first dishes being from the Japanese Soul Cooking cookbook. I bought it for him for Christmas so I could read it and we […]

BoccaLupo – Visit #3 out of many to come

March 2, 2014

BoccaLupo is one of the best new spots in Atlanta, and I couldn’t have been happier to have a recent date night there with my pasta loving wife. I dig the menu offerings. It’s basically a handful of stellar appetizers, and a bunch of pasta. I mean a lot of pasta. So many Italian restaurants have […]

Lasagne Verdi al Forno

December 4, 2013

When it comes down to it, my favorite, most comforting, and nostalgic dish to eat is this lasagna verdi from the Simili sisters of Bologna. I just recently found the recipe online, but for the almost ten years I’ve been cooking it, I was using a scanned copy of a copy my mother made me […]

I Would Eat That [Terra, Bocca Lupo, One Eared Stag]

These are the things I like to eat right now. Freshness. Lighter composition. Bright flavors. Herbs and grilled things and summer. This is Banh Xeo (crepe) with pork and shrimp at Nam Phuong. Rocks. Also had the Banh Hoi Bo Nuong La Lot – the do it your self rice paper wraps, this version with beef […]

Storico Fresco Sauces

June 20, 2013

Did you know that Storico Fresco sells meat sauces too? They do a 36 hour Bolognese which I’m told is very good, but wasn’t ready when my wife stopped by the shop this week. She knew my other choice would have been the goat ragu, which you see here with a fresh cut pasta made […]

BoccaLupo

May 9, 2013

First visit to BoccaLupo, in the former Sauced (Ria’s) location on Edgewood, which is helmed by Bruce Logue who opened La Pietra Cucina, back when it was good. He makes pasta. I ate some. And photographed. I had a ravioli style deal with mushrooms and young (not as bitter) rapini. Nice and light. Tomatoes and […]
