Christmas 2014: Nothing Exceeds Like Excess

January 9, 2015

It’s basically the holiday that won’t end. Christmas is still going on for me – I have more gift exchanges this weekend with grandparents. But the main events are over and I’m back into the regular swing of things at work, and have even hit the gym a few times to sweat out the booze […]

Lusca

June 25, 2014

Lusca has been open roughly two months now, and though I had been eagerly anticipating this opening from Octopus Bar’s Angus Brown and Nhan Le, it was just this week I made my first visit. I’ve only made it into Octopus Bar a handful of times, as it’s across town and doesn’t open until 10PM, but I really […]

Joystick Gamebar

February 6, 2014

Joystick Gamebar on Edgewood, in the old Dynamic Dish space – I like this place. I had a nice beer from BlueTarp Brewing Co. from Decatur. I had a damn fine, slutty thin-style double burger from Illegal Food, who has partnered with Joystick to prepare some cared for grub. And I played NBA Jams, Tournament Edition with […]

Christmas

December 26, 2012

Hope you had a good holiday. Despite a pain in the ass cold the whole time, I had great fun, drank  much wine, and ate fancy with family. I splurged on a few items, but got exactly what I wanted out of them. In addition to being delicious, oysters and caviar add an air of […]

Griffin Market, Local 11 Ten, Distillery, Bonna Bella [Beaufort | Savannah]

December 8, 2012

Last night I returned from a trip to the low country, and realized I need to finish my post from my last trip down that way. A month ago I was working in Columbia, then made my way to Savannah to run the half marathon (1:49 with no training, I’ll take it). I made a […]

The Optimist – Oyster Bar

November 13, 2012

 My first visit to the Optimist was right after they opened, and on the restaurant’s dime. I liked it overall. A skate wing was very poor, and has since been removed from the menu. As everyone says, the Smith Hanes space is stunning, a large hull of a room, rocking with people below the viewport […]

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 […]

If you are looking for the seventh blog to report on the newly opened restaurant The Optimist, then it is confirmed, you are in the correct place. I’ve been eagerly anticipating the opening of Ford Fry’s (JCT) new restaurant, helmed by Adam Evans, former sous chef of JCT. The Optimist is close to my side […]
