July 11, 2014

If you are ever visiting Greenville, SC (and many do, can you just believe how cute the downtown is!) here are three restaurants I feel confident in recommending to you, fellow eater. A year ago I likely wouldn’t have sent you there, but The Nose Dive is really putting out some excellent food and beverage. A gastropub from restauranteur Carl Sobocinski of […]

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.

Fried Chicken at One Eared Stag

March 6, 2012

Some friends and I got together at One Eared Stag for a wine dinner last week, featuring the Monday-night-only fried chicken by Chef Robert Phalen.

wine, food, fun, etc.

September 29, 2011

I’ve amassed a bunch of crappy iphone pics (and crappy good camera pics) to share with internet-land. Operation photo barf commencing. How about the above bar near Lake Burton? I’m considering opening a satellite location in College Park. The wines I’ve tasted lately have continued to be an embarrassment of riches. Le Montrachet (right) is one of […]
