Top Spice

Prawn Crackers with Malaysian Pork Jerky

We lived within a handful of blocks to the Toco Hills location of Top Spice for many years. (This was over 5 years ago.) Some weeks, I believe we ate there more often than we ate at home. It was our favorite spot of […]

Kimchi Dumplings @ Buford Hwy Farmers Market

Kimchi Dumplings

Kimchi (or kim chee) dumplings are one of our favorite items from the prepared foods section of Buford Highway Farmers Market. They disappear fast. So, they’re usually still piping hot in the package. After fighting the crowds, these mildly spicy dumplings make a great quick lunch.

New Odessa — Walnut Cookies (yum) & the unfortunate prune incident

Mystery Chocolates

Shopping for chocolates at New Odessa can be a bit of a mystery. I love marshmallows. And, the above photo depicts a marshmallow… yes? Yes. But, it also illustrates a plum or a grape or… maybe a fig? A jelly-filled chocolate? I was hoping for fig in some […]

Ted’s Montana Grill

Buffalo Burger & sweet potato with cinnamon butter

I can’t tell you why. But, I really really want to like this place. Maybe it has something to do with the incredibly friendly staff and charming surroundings. For me, stepping into Ted’s Montana Grill feels like stepping onto a movie set. […]

Uncle Julio’s

Camarones Brochettes

How do you make shrimp even more yummy? You stuff it with cheese & jalapeno then wrap it up like a package in bacon. And, just to be sure you don’t mistake this for a healthy food, they brush each bacon-wrapped shrimp with melted butter. These gigantic shrimp […]
