Stocking the Pantry:
Toscano & Sons has a wide assortment of goods. Parmigiano Reggiano butter, a great selection of Italian deli meats & cheeses, coffees, Italian vegetable seeds for planting, chilled Italian sodas for sale individually, chinotto & san bitter by the pack, and too many pantry items to name… [...]
Jerk Chicken with Red Beans & Rice
We first visited this great spot just east of Stone Mountain Park soon after they opened. And, the food has done nothing but get better and better. The chicken hits all the right spots: spicy, smoky, tender, juicy, and a hint of sweet & sour [...]
In my book, most fast food falls on a sliding scale of “not bad”. The bottom side of that scale? ”Eh, it’s edible. And, I’d rather eat this than starve.” The top side of that scale would be a surprised declaration. ”Hmm… not bad.” These wings fall somewhere on the good [...]
This chestnut honey from Alon’s Bakery is incredible. It has a richness and intensity I’ve never seen before. I think it’s the best chestnut honey I’ve ever been fortunate enough to taste. With a price tag just over $15, it’s no bargain. But, the quality is obvious from the terra cotta [...]
Crispy fried fish & shrimp with a side of carbs? Yes, Please.
While there is nothing complex about this meal, the fish and shrimp were served steaming hot, super crisp and perfectly cooked. With two frying options, these two plates (above and below) demonstrate the “crispy” fried option. The dominantly cornmeal breading [...]
Unagi Donburi
Unagi Donburi served with a sweet & spicy pickle and miso soup
It’s hard to believe that these photos illustrate a meal eaten at a food court. But, they are! Sushi & Hibachi is a small food court shop set in the back of the Assi Market Food Court. [...]
For those with kids, the pony rides will be the highlight of this unusual market. The flea market has two sections. One section (indoor) with new to newish goods. Dollar store finds, clothing, jewelry, and other random items sold by those renting the indoor space. The outdoor section is a collection of used garage [...]
If ever there could be such a thing as a great fastfood burger, it would be the Fatburger. Given the competition, it isn’t hard to top the list of favorite fast food burgers. A soft fluffy bun, rich beef flavor with a good amount of char that lends the impression of smoke, and [...]
What’s my favorite salad this summer? I don’t think I could narrow it down to just one, but, the Astoria Salad at Artuzzi’s is definitely one of my favorites.
Crisp Granny Smith apple slices, candied walnuts, strawberries, sweet baby grapes, crumbled Gorgonzola, radicchio, celery and mixed greens. Yum!
And, the sweet little rolls brushed with butter that are served [...]
The Setting: A small restaurant situated in a quiet strip mall with a handful of wooden boothes. Orders are placed at a glass counter that is filled with slices of individually wrapped cake wedges.
The Staff: Very friendly
The Food: Incredibly rich, tender and delicious stews.
We sampled one order of the ox tail stew and one order [...]
