In May of last year (as mentioned in passing in this story), Marie and I went to see Katie Herzig at a terrific venue called Terminal West, and enjoyed a couple of bottles of Fentiman’s soda before and during the show. We did not really pay attention to where we obtained the drinks. It turns out that the space adjacent to Terminal West is a small restaurant called Stationside. It’s open for lunch, and also for dinner during shows. Continue reading “Stationside, Atlanta GA”

Fresh Pot Cafe, Hixson TN
I asked Marie to pick a place for our last stop on the trip, and she came up with a great one. It’s the oddly-named Fresh Pot Cafe, whose name reminds me that a straight-edge friend of mine was at a charity auction with me last month and was assigned bidder number 420. Har-de-har!

Steverino’s, Duluth GA (CLOSED)
I’m not sure why I became so certain that Steverino’s, reborn in some other, non-Athens, place, was certain to disappoint, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Continue reading “Steverino’s, Duluth GA (CLOSED)”
Whiteway Delicatessen, Jacksonville FL
When we visited Jacksonville in December 2013, I had hoped to stop by Whiteway Delicatessen for lunch. It’s one of the city’s oldest restaurants, and said to be one of the best places in town to sample one of Jacksonville’s iconic rider sandwiches. Unfortunately, we had to come on a Saturday, when they’re closed, so we made do with a rider from the small chain The Sheik instead. It was a pleasant little oddity, but pretty far from being worth a really long drive. Continue reading “Whiteway Delicatessen, Jacksonville FL”
Villains, Atlanta GA (take two) (CLOSED)
Hooray! The Villains have been vanquished!
Oh, wait, that’s not a good thing. What the heck has gone on? Continue reading “Villains, Atlanta GA (take two) (CLOSED)”
Gusto! Wood Fire Grill, Atlanta GA
A couple of weeks ago, I met my friend David for lunch at a new place in Brookwood Hills with a neat shtick. Raging against the trends of cooking over gas, which even many of the barbecue joints in Atlanta do, Gusto! loudly and proudly grills their chicken, mushrooms, and shrimp over wood. If this takes off, it will certainly lead to awkward questions. If these guys can successfully cook over wood – there’s a small stack of hickory right in the middle of the restaurant to emphasize the point – then everybody can. Get your acts together, ‘cue joints. Continue reading “Gusto! Wood Fire Grill, Atlanta GA”
Seven Hens, Sandy Springs GA (CLOSED)
In 2012, we stopped into the first location of Seven Hens, which Michael Gurevich had opened earlier in the year, and were impressed by the sandwiches and, because we’re keen experts in any and all things restaurantic (read with sarcasm; we’re nothing of the sort), we figured that the owner was all set to pounce on second, third, and twelfth locations before the end of the year. Wisely, Gurevich didn’t skimp on the design of that store in Decatur. It looked professional, confident, and ready to franchise. And, since the food – chicken schnitzel sandwiches in a variety of internationally-themed styles – was very good, it looked like a concept ready to succeed.
