Pulled Pork Sandwich with sweet potato fries
The Pork
The tender, succulent interior is perfectly crusted with a nicely charred shell of smoky deliciousness.
The Sweet Potato Fries
Close to perfection — I think these are the best sweet potato fries in Atlanta right now. The salt, pepper and [...]
Shortrib & Lamb Pizza
This pizza is full of flavor. Tender, braised shortrib is one of my all-time favorite things. It has a luxurious buttery quality that underlines all the positive attributes of beef. The tender shreds on this pizza illustrate that point beautifully. Coupled with red pepper, crumbled goat cheese and [...]
Chips & Salsa
Tacos filled with crab balls and blackened fish
I’m not a huge fan of tacos. And, the tacos here aren’t Tex-Mex or even Tex-Tex, for that matter. They’re just stuff stuffed inside flour tortillas. But, it is tasty stuff in generous quantities. The blackened fish was [...]
Fish & Chips at Ri Ra Irish Pub
(thick-cut chips are an option)
Ri Ra’s fish & chips were a huge hit with us. This batter-fried haddock was fried to a deep golden brown with super crisp edges. The dense batter was everything we were looking for in a traditional “Fish & Chips”. The dense batter had [...]

The first scent is sweet chocolate and malt. The taste of burnt sugar/caramel up front is lovely. Complex malt and vanilla undertones add to the smooth & creamy feel of it in your mouth. Smooth, creamy and complex all at once. The vanilla also adds to the sweetness. But, it’s a pleasant sweetness… not overwhelming. [...]
Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence
Belgian Chocolate Stout
The scent of dark chocolate/bitter chocolate/cocoa is quickly evident and very pleasant. The first taste reveals a deep dark bitter chocolate flavor that works beautifully with the malty tones. Dried fruit flavors linger in the background and contribute to a wonderful depth of flavor. Slightly muting the other flavors, but, the [...]
