Atlanta’s reputation as a city for great burgers led a chain from Texas, Grub Burger Bar, to open a couple of stores in town. Grub is still fairly small, with only twelve locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Delaware, and Pennsylania. Their website lists five more locations in the works within these states as well. Continue reading “Grub Burger Bar, Atlanta GA”

Doraku, Atlanta GA
Grant and I had the opportunity to visit Doraku together, but sadly at the last minute there was an emergency at home and only I could go. He missed out and we will surely have to return. I want his opinion on the octopus. Continue reading “Doraku, Atlanta GA”
Mac Lab, Duluth GA
There was one hitch in our trip to Athens, recounted over the last three chapters. I had hoped that we could go with our fellow blogger Sandy from Bella Vivere, who also attended UGA. It’s always really fun to spend time in Athens with somebody who went to school at a different time; you get to share similar and yet radically different stories. Sadly, she had to work, and suggested that we meet for dessert in Gwinnett County on our way home. Continue reading “Mac Lab, Duluth GA”
Community Q BBQ, Decatur GA (take two)
Community Q, criminally, had slipped under my radar. Since it opened in 2009, it received lots of attention and writeups from hobbyists and food lovers (Here’s our own report), but I hadn’t eaten there in quite some time – the last was almost two years ago, when Dale, a roadfooding friend from Rhode Island came through town on his way to Birmingham – and found myself curious to visit them again. Continue reading “Community Q BBQ, Decatur GA (take two)”
Hudson’s Hickory House, Douglasville GA (take two)
As best I can remember, there have been three times in the last six years where I’ve had to just stop eating because the food was too spicy. The first time was our visit to Prince’s Hot Chicken in Nashville TN. The second time was when I left some chicken marinating overnight in the mustard sauce that I bought at Billy Bob’s in Carrollton GA.
Let me tell you about the third time. Continue reading “Hudson’s Hickory House, Douglasville GA (take two)”
Gumbeaux’s Cajun Cafe, Douglasville GA
Over the years, we’ve received hundreds of suggestions and ideas about places to visit around the southeast, and the runaway number one in the Atlanta area has definitely been Gumbeaux’s, a cajun-style restaurant in Douglasville. It’s in that town’s charming single-side historic downtown, with the businesses on one side and the train tracks on the other, and it’s incredibly popular. We arrived on a Saturday last month about 11.45 and may have been the last party to be seated without having to wait. Continue reading “Gumbeaux’s Cajun Cafe, Douglasville GA”
Del Frisco’s Grille, Atlanta GA
Some restaurants in Atlanta just steadfastly stay off my radar, even after I’ve read about them. I think there are just so many of them that, even enjoying this hobby, I don’t quite catch everything. That seems to be what happened with Del Frisco’s Grille, which opened in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood three years ago. It’s in a very neat location on Peachtree, with Atlanta’s only double-decker patio, facing Peachtree, kind of between Lenox Square and Capital Cities Plaza. Once upon a time, I worked for a company whose larger offices were in Capital Cities. Del Frisco’s might have been outside my everyday lunch budget, but I’m sure I would have enjoyed coming here with co-workers for an occasional treat.
