Thai, Sichuan, Ramen

December 16, 2015

  Cooking and eating Asian foods seems to be pretty common amongst the big food nerds. It’s something different; maybe more interesting flavor profiles, atypical spices, bright or funky flavors, and more varied cuts of meats than the average white kid in the US eats along side their boxed mac ‘n cheese. The food-stricken are always seeking the […]

L’Thai

April 9, 2015

Thai foods are some of my favorite to eat. Similar to Vietnamese cuisine, I enjoy the aromatic herbs and lemongrass, the dynamic acidity, occasional funk, and the spice. It always evokes freshness and afterwards I never feel like I’m dying a slow chicken fried steak death, which isn’t the worst way to leave this world. My complaint is that, at […]

Nose Dive, Bacon Bros., Mekong [Greenville, SC]

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 […]

July 2013 Gavage [Tasty China II, Taqueria el Rey, Chops, Paella, Seven Lamps]

August 9, 2013

  Yeah, I’m still here, still hungry, cooking and eating. Busy with life and a pending addition to our family, which we tried to fire-bomb out of Katie with Sichuan cuisine at Peter Cheng’s Tasty China II. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve double-dared my digestive system with Sichuan food, and TC did not […]

Also had the Banh Hoi Bo Nuong La Lot – the do it your self rice paper wraps, this version with beef […]

Nam Phuong

June 27, 2013

Thought I’ve been writing this for years, I won’t ever claim I’m the most experienced person when it comes to the cuisines of Buford Highway (on up to Duluth). Eat Buford Highway, Blissful Glutton, and Chow Down Atlanta are some of the best for that, though their posts are infrequent these days. Blogging ain’t what […]

Pho Dai Loi 3

December 3, 2012

Hey, I didn’t know there was a Pho Dai Loi 3. It’s in Duluth, not far off the Pleasant Road exit. I stopped in for pho on a drizzly day last week, which seemed appropriate. It’s a nice, clean place, and my server was friendly. I ordered a spring roll that had roast beef and […]

Monthly Photo Gavage

April 2, 2012

I do these posts on occasion where I cull a bunch of photos not worthy of their own individual post, which I’m cleverly going to call my periodic PHOTO GAVAGE. Get it? Onward. Frozen beef mandu (Korean dumplings) from Buford Highway Farmer’s Market with kimchi and slightly sour pickles from the Eastern European section. They […]
