July 5, 2012
Thumbnail image for Gu’s Bistro

Hit up Gu’s Bistro with some friends/wine jerks a few weeks ago. We used to do this at Tasty China, but I like Gu’s. The people are very nice, and the food can be just as good, though it is different. I really liked the eggplant, and the cumin lamb, and the fried shrimp were […]

A few more HF photos…

October 18, 2011

I went to Holeman & Finch with friends last night. Nothing to add that hasn’t been said before really; I’m not going to get poetic about every dish, but I took the photos, so screw it, here they are. Cured meats were especially on point. Radish salad, baby mustard greens, buttermilk dressing. Smashed potatoes, ham broth, […]

Brine, and Some Wine

Around the end of the year, one topic you see a lot of if you follow food on the interwebs is food trends. Everyone likes to predict what’s going to be the hot ingredient, what restaurant concepts will catch fire, or what general eating trend will take hold. I’ve already seen a few posts on […]

If Deep Frying Is Cool, Then I’m Miles Davis

September 11, 2009

Yesterday was the Georgia Tech vs. Clemson football game, a Thursday night game, which I think is one of the best attractions in all of Atlanta. The weather was cool and wonderful, and the backdrop of the Atlanta skyline can’t be beat. In addition, Georgia Tech and Clemson have had a heated and well-matched series […]

Taste NY, in Atlanta

July 14, 2009

A few weeks ago, the predominant New York wine blog Lenndevours announced a project called TasteNY, and recently I was lucky to have the chance to participate, at the invite of Hardy of Dirty South Wine. The project is labeled as a virtual wine tasting, with the tasting consisting of a case of New York […]

Southern Feast – Chicken & Leeks, Mashed Potatoes, Mac n Cheese, and Chenin Blanc!

March 23, 2009

Unlike this most recent weekend, which was one of those stretches where Atlanta has some of the best weather in the country, the previous weekend was rainy and dreary the whole time. Fittingly, Sunday is my comfort food day, usually Italian, but for whatever reason I had the itch to make a heapin’ plate of […]
