Marlow’s Tavern is one of the many places in Atlanta that we began to overlook when we started the blog. It was a perfectly good place to eat – I’ll entertain a suggestion that it may have been somebody with whom I may have been stepping out before Marie and I got together who enjoyed it a good deal – but perhaps a bit more of a corporate chain than we typically visit.

The Brickery Grill & Bar, Sandy Springs GA (CLOSED)
This is Marie, contributing an article about The Brickery Grill & Bar, which styles itself as a neighborhood restaurant. Bruce and Sally Alterman, the owners, just passed their 22nd anniversary, and to celebrate they had a bunch of bloggers over to check out the food and comment on it. Well, I’m sure they had other celebrations as well, probably involving cake. If you decide to venture out for a visit, make sure you go past the sign at the entrance of the strip mall and back into the other side of the parking lot, as the red sign on Roswell is just there to tell you where to turn.

Teela Taqueria, Sandy Springs GA
One Sunday evening last month, a small gang of us bloggers got together to enjoy each other’s company and talk a little shop, speak of excellent meals, and joke about silly PR stunts. Atlanta etc., Atlanta Restaurant Blog, Burgers, Barbecue and Everything Else, The Food and Me, Food Near Snellville, and Friday Date Night all joined us as we munched on some really good tacos.

Bloggers Invade That Pie Place
Back in late October, our friend Malika, who writes Atlanta Restaurant Blog, dropped us a line. She met Ron Wolf, the owner of That Pie Place in Sandy Springs, at a food service industry event and got to sample some of his pies. She was really impressed and worked with him on putting together a blogger dinner at his place to try some of his pies. Continue reading “Bloggers Invade That Pie Place”
Hearth Pizza Tavern, Sandy Springs GA
We hadn’t found time in ages to get together with our friend Leslie, who writes The Food & Me, and when I tossed a few ideas her way, she picked pizza. We met at Hearth Pizza Tavern after work one Friday last month. This is a little place at Roswell Road and Hammond, tucked away, invisibly, in the same strip mall as a Whole Foods and the popular Canton Cooks.

5 Seasons Brewing, Sandy Springs GA
Last month, the good people at Urbanspoon reached out to Atlanta’s awesome blogging community to hang out and talk shop for a while. 5 Seasons, a brewpub that opened in 2001 and has expanded to three locations in the region, hosted us and gave us the chance to sample some of their appetizers and a few of their beers. We had a terrific evening and enjoyed catching up with friends and meeting a few new people. A couple of awesome Prime users were present, as were Bella Vivere, Food Near Snellville, Iron Stef, and Spatialdrift. Continue reading “5 Seasons Brewing, Sandy Springs GA”
Little Thai, Sandy Springs GA
A few Fridays ago, the kids and I fought the rush hour to meet Marie for dinner and spare her the rush hour commute home. We invited Emily from Spatialdrift to join us; Adam had the good fortune to fly out to the San Diego Comic-Con that weekend. This prompted the umpteen millionth discussion between my daughter and me about the difference between “lucky” and “fortunate.” I really, really hope that she gets this point one day. This wearying discussion concluded, I was happier to then show off the nearby fire station to the toddler, for him to smile and laugh about the fire trucks. Little Thai is in a curving strip mall on Sandy Springs Circle just before it meets Johnson Ferry. The section where we parked overlooks the fire station, and is perfect for kids to yell greetings to firemen. Continue reading “Little Thai, Sandy Springs GA”
