FIG Charleston

March 5, 2016

At this moment I’m taking a short study break from some mid-terms I have due tomorrow for a graduate degree I’m pursuing at Texas A&M (whoop!) Enrolling seemed like a good idea a year ago, but is now the reason I dread Sunday evenings, when the week’s assignments are due. But, I’m nearly half way through the program, I just booked […]

The Don

November 30, 2014

Last week I visited Craft Izakaya again with friends, and we finished our excellent sushi bar meal by asking Chef Jason Liang if he would put together a donburi (rice bowl) for us, comprised of whatever he was feeling. A rice bowl is a comforting ending to any sushi meal (I also enjoy a well done tekka maki to […]

Lusca Lunch

October 4, 2014

Lusca has been open for lunch for a month or so now in South Buckhead, and was my recent pick for a guy-guy date lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though it’s too expensive for regular lunch visits. With a glass of wine, splitting three dishes and a vegetable side, it was about $45 for my share of it. […]

Uni / Sushi Huku / Craft Izakaya

August 7, 2014

The other evening, after a long day, I wanted to go out by myself for a quick bite. I thought about the brand new Pig & The Pearl (no alcohol) and the new-new Luminary (would have had to fight traffic), but I ended up at a happy place – Sushi Huku for some raw fish treats. My friend/Chef Jey […]

This is a cold weather related blog post, as it’s 24 degrees as I write this – darn cold for Atlanta. I went by Taka the other day and decided to try his ramen, which he reports on his chef blog is becoming a big seller for him. Taka sells a few kinds of ramen – […]

Octopus Bar

January 25, 2012

I made my first visit to Octopus Bar last night, the restaurant which opens at 10PM inside of So Ba in East Atlanta Village. In short, I really enjoyed it. They have a menu that begs for exploration, cold oysters, inexpensive craft beers, and the best muther flippin’ lobster roll I can recall. Lots of […]

Tomo, Tartufo, Buckhead

October 15, 2011

Last night Katie and I were planning on hitting up Tartufo, the newly opened pizza restaurant which shares a wall (and ownership) with La Fourchette. As we were getting ready, I received an email letting me know that Tomo’s new location in the Ritz Carlton Residences was able to open their doors that evening, a […]

Catalina Offshore Products / Ideas In Food

April 11, 2011

My buddy Matt and I cooked up some dinner for a party this past weekend, which I was calling my “Spring Meal”. The focus was to complete more recipes from Chez Panisse Vegetables, but to also use a few elements from the new cookbook Ideas In Food. Featured vegetables were asparagus, artichokes (which we completely screwed up […]
