My Favorite Atlanta Restaurants

December 3, 2014

If you are planning a visit to Atlanta I have a few suggestions that you must go too! They are spread through out the city so don’t expect it all to be Inside the Perimeter (or ITP for the locals). Trying new restaurants is not limited to just in town for me. So I have developed great places around Atlanta. Here are a few around town ...

Atlanta, Fresh2Order

Fresh2Order Healthy and Great!

November 14, 2014

Looking at my blog I know some of you are going, “Do you ever eat anything healthy?” Why yes I do and will start up at the first of the year. I have to watch what I eat and start working out or exercising. Because I can’t go up another pants size. To do this I need to eat healthy and wise. One of my favorite places to do that is Fresh2Order. ...

An Atlanta Tradition the Colonnade

November 5, 2014

If you have lived in Atlanta for any length of time you know about the Colonnade. It’s been an Atlanta landmark since 1927. Its best known for it’s southern down home cooking. I have had almost everything on the menu, with exception of the chicken livers, and it’s all be amazing. You can go wrong with anything there. Over the last few years ...

Hot Dog Get Your Hot Dog at Dog Days

November 3, 2014

I am in by no means a hot dog fan. When given the choice, just about anytime I will go with what ever option B is. It all goes back to High School when we had to cook about 1200 hot dog and I got to eat them all day. I ate so many I don’t really care for them any more. I occasionally have a hot dog at a baseball game but that’s about the only ...

Italian Goodness – Alessandro’s Italian Restaurant

October 10, 2014

I have been to Alessandro’s once before last year. It’s becoming a tradition before we go to the Corn Maze to eat all we can eat italian food and then go walk it off. Full disclosure my friend Kate knows the owners. However that said they didn’t pay for my meal or give me a deal. Last year when we went I got this super huge calzone. I swear it ...

Atlanta, Bleu House Market

Having Bacon at Bleu House Market

October 6, 2014

I haven’t heard of the Bleu House Market before. It’s a restaurant in the Historic downtown part of Norcross. I think the last time I was in this area was 2003ish. I used to work for the family business and have to drive through it often. At that time it didn’t have a lot of upscale dining options. So over the last decade they have added new ...

Wonderful World of Meat – Patak

September 15, 2014

Where do you buy your meat? The grocery store or warehouse club? If you are you are missing out. It may seem like the day’s of the Brady Bunch going down to see Sam at the local butcher shop, but butcher shops aren’t gone with the 8-track. But you are WRONG, dead wrong. The butcher shop is still alive and going strong!

Elevations Chophouse Chicken Parmesan Review

September 8, 2014

Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorite meals ever. I remember back in the day wanting to get with a friend and try to make it, but luckily we never did get to make it! At that time I’m glad we didn’t do it because it would have been a train wreck! I was not, what you call, a good or even an adept cook. I lacked skill, experience and any ...
