I normally don’t post any out of town restaurants on here. But I felt you guys needed to know about Murray’s. I drove to Anniston, AL a few days ago and stopped for a quick lunch in Carrolton. My friend Docksocks owns The Carrolton Menu, a blog about the city and that’s where I found [...]

Southern Art
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 [...]
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
I finished all these If you didn’t know me or this blog any better, you’d think it’s a title for a recipe, no? NO. It is, however, the new place of Chef Steven Hartman. The one chef who made 20 adults (18 guys, mind you) swoon at the same time, in unison, with his custard. [...]
Best thing I ate last week: Empire State South
I was cajoled by my sister to have a very late lunch here. It was 15 minutes til closing when we came in but we made sure (called ahead) and asked again upon arrival if it was still okay to come in. I’ll leave the pedigree details to all the other reviewers here, [...]
New Orleans Seafood
Thanks to one of my readers, Bill Petrosky, who sent me an email the other day tipping me of this new seafood/po’boy place in Duluth. It is located a few doors down from What The Pho and Cafe Tohdamgol. Opened just two weeks ago by a Vietnamese family, it is really more of [...]
Dillard House Restaurant
I took a short road trip a few weekends ago when the weather was just beautiful to the southern tip of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The purpose: Dillard House. To eat. The city of Dillard is in Rabun County which is less than two hours northeast of Atlanta. Two miles [...]
Peasant Bistro
Remember the famous Peasant chain of restaurants? You’d be surprised to find out that one of my very first jobs as a teenager was as a server at Mick’s. It was such a coveted job among teenies that I delved into it with such gumption as someone trying to win the Presidency. [...]
Mary Mac’s Tea Room
My dad’s office was literally two blocks away so eating here when we were younger was a regular thing when we came to play at his office. It’s been about a couple of years since I’ve been at Mary Mac’s so I talked a friend into joining me for lunch last week. I [...]
Rico’s World Kitchen
A couple of years ago, I went to the new location of Boudreaux’s Cajun in Lawrenceville. It was the sister eatery of the famous one in downtown Duluth. There, a Rico Cunnington was managing the place, and occasionally dabbled in the kitchen where he learned how to cook everything on the menu. [...]
Staplehouse
For the first time ever, the moon and stars were aligned properly that I was able to attend a supper club this past weekend. I’ve been turning down opportunities for over a year now so I was so excited because this time, I could actually go. This one is for the prelude to [...]
