Sounds like a gallery, no? It’s actually Intercon’s new restaurant chef-headed by Oprah-famous Art Smith — a very warm, passionate person, who happened to be walking around and whom we were able to meet and have a quick conversation with. Pickles, butter, and biscuits. Those tiny silver dollar sized biscuits are good. I could eat [...]

The best thing I ever ate: Taka’s Cold Ramen
We had a bout of chilly days a couple of weeks back and I thought it was awesome. I love cold weather. But now that we are hitting 90-degree temps once again, my addiction to ramen is going to take a slight backseat to cold ramen. Slight. Not a whole lot. So. I’ve been eating [...]
New at Taka: Cold Ramen
Ramen makes my world stop at a stand still. But, summer is just around the corner and I knew my thrice weekly addiction will have to wane and give in to more refreshing cold soups. Well, guess what. Taka just put out a new addition to their menu. Cold Ramen!!! It’s unbelievably good. Chewy egg [...]
Trusty backup: Houston’s
We grew up eating here and it’s been our regular back-up plan when nothing else appeals. The steaks are always cooked perfectly. The roasted chicken is delicious. The salads (I’ve heard) are fantastic. But there’s one best kept secret here: the burgers. They’re phenomenal. Go now.

Pick up a pizza now: The Kind Pie
…because the gluten-free dough gives you a chewy yet airy crust; and the toppings are fresh and tasty.
Two more reasons to visit: pasta and sandwiches.
The Cool Hand Luke — because Luke is a Jedi and I’m the biggest (original) Star Wars fan on the planet Earth the combination of red and white sauce, [...]
Prime
I have been to Prime twice before a long time ago and all I can remember was that it was pricey and the service was painfully slow. So it was never put on our rotation of mall dining choices. A few days ago, we saw a sign indicating early dinner specials so we [...]
H&F Hotdog
I just want to let you know about this awesome, fantastic, amazing hotdog at H&F. The hotdog is made in-house. It is juicy, tasty, fresh-tasting and does not have that salty, cured meat taste. I would have loved a more snappy casing but the taste pretty much compensates for that. The [...]
Bistro Niko
My sister and I grew up eating at Brasserie Le Coze. Tagging along with our mom meant shopping always included (or concluded with) mussels in white wine, whole sole, and steak frites. We’ve been looking for a French bistro with the same caliber ever since they closed a couple of years ago (to [...]
RA Sushi
I find it so laughable when people refer to themselves as a “sushi guru” — seriously, if you have not been to Japan at least 5 times to eat real sushi (including for breakfast) with at least one visit to Osaka or Kyoto then you cannot and should never call yourselves that, okay? Oh, and [...]
Gordon Biersch (Buckhead)
We were next door getting fitted for dresses for my sister’s wedding and decided to have a late lunch here; not because we like it but because it was a mere few steps away and I was beyond starving. I don’t think they changed the decor all that much from when this place used [...]
Villa Vino
Remember Genki in Buckhead? Well, they gave up half of their space to this new Italian restaurant/wine bar. Decor is the usual Buckhead type bar/restaurant — yellow walls, dark woods, shiny floors, cozy booths, not to mention a humongous patio which is great for people watching or catching some rays. They have [...]
