Gu’s Bistro + Krog Street Market = In Town Awesomeness [Rumors]

2013-05-10T03:34:02Z

Gu’s Bistro is on the cusp of changing the entire Chinese restaurant scene here in Atlanta. As it stands, ATLiens find themselves pilgrimaging to one of two zip codes whenever they crave something other than Americanized Chinese cuisine. One area is the Cloverleaf, where two Szechuan kitchens founded by the ronin-esq Peter Chang stand by [...]

Holeman & Finch Braves Burger Gets A Ticket Package

2013-03-28T19:34:40Z

So it’s been about a month since Southern Living told us that the Atlanta Braves were adding a Holeman & Finch burger stand at Turner Field. Turns out, there’s a little bit more to the story. Here a few neat little details: a) There are three stands serving up the double stack patties, not one! [...]

The NCAA Tournament (Food) Champion

2013-03-28T19:00:29Z

Every March, prognosticators, sports fanatics, and seemingly every other person with even the faintest interest in the NCAA basketball tournament fills out a bracket. People will use everything from video game simulations to mascot battles (think: Balki Bartokomous) to help them master the bracket. I, however, have a better way of picking the winner. I [...]

Celebrate Charlotte Nelson [Reminder]

2013-02-23T17:27:06Z

I just wanted to remind everyone that on Tuesday, February 26th (aka this Tuesday), there is a fundraiser at SweetWater Brewery for Fox Bros. BBQ executive chef Charlotte Nelson. Nelson recently succumbed to breast cancer. The event will serve to celebrate Charlotte’s life. Meanwhile, the proceeds will go to the Breast Cancer Research Center, which [...]

Umi Sushi From Fuyuhiko Ito [Coming Soon]

2013-02-20T04:31:38Z

It’s been a few months since Fuyuhiko Ito‘s plans to open a Buckhead sushi bar started to leak out. Now, it appears things are finally starting to come together. The restaurant has been branded Umi, which is the phonetic equivalent of the Japanese word for sea. Seems appropriate. The restaurant just launched a facebook page and it’s [...]

The $250 Salad Delivery [Laugh of the Day]

2013-02-14T09:56:03Z

So the gang at College Humor wanted to see what would happen if they ordered a salad from the aptly named Just Salad (site) in New York City. Not much of a story there … until you realize that they decided to order every single possible topping (including double meats) for their single serving lettuce [...]

Charlotte Nelson of Fox Bros BBQ Passes

2013-02-11T19:34:29Z

Sad news from over the weekend. Charlotte Nelson of Fox Bros BBQ has passed. She was 37 and she had breast cancer. On Friday, Jonathan Fox emailed folks to update everyone on the status of Charlotte. In that email, Fox mentioned an event for “Charlotte’s Web”, to help curtail medical costs and ease the family’s [...]

Sukiyabashi Jiro Gets Instagramed Hip-Hop Style

2013-01-25T14:03:19Z

The opportunity for me to eat at Sukiyabashi Jiro, the 3-star Michelin subway port in Tokyo, before Jiro Ono departs is looking highly unlikely at this juncture. So I must rely on others for any semblance of sushi satiation. With some luck, maybe Jimmy will get there in a few months and I’ll get a [...]

2013-01-23T21:02:55Z

Kevin Gillespie, the celebrity chef/cookbook author who is about to open Gunshow in East Atlanta, has decided to fill his time by offering his services up to small groups who want to hire him. Basically, he’s decided idle hands are the devils play toy … so if you want Kevin to cook for you and [...]
