Gator Bites
The Depeaux is dishing up these perfectly fried bites made of alligator tail meat. As South Floridians at heart (and frequent visitors of New Orleans), we’ve sampled gator here and there. It’s usually disappointing. Sometimes it’s overcooked, sometimes it’s tastesless, and other times we find ourselves […]
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 […]
While this location (both as a Mellow Mushroom and now) has remained incredibly reliable for years. I think I’m enjoying the pizza even more now. The crust always has a nice crispness to the exterior, good flavor (minimal doughiness) and it is significantly less greasy than its Mellow Mushroom days. […]
Ras Madhuri
Soft flattened balls of pastry are soaked in syrup then topped with a creamy fudge-like icing, pistachios, and garnished with a cherry. The syrup-soaked cake-y balls have a texture much like a Cuban tres leches. But, they’re richer… if you can imagine that. The dense fudgy icing gives […]
Pav Bhaji Dosa
Two of our favorite vegetarian spots for a quick meal are Chat Patti and Gokul Sweets. We’ve been fans of Chat Patti for over 8 years and fans of Gokul Sweets for over a year. But, since we’ve only been taking shots of our food diligently for […]
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 […]
La Parrilla Tilapia & Shrimp
This piece of tilapia was clearly pan-fried to order. It was still piping hot and the breading was crisp. The handful of shrimp that were drizzled with the ever-present melted white cheese… surprisingly tasty. The pico de gallo was warm and appeared to be slightly […]
While the subdued lighting at Rathbun Steak makes for a pleasant setting. It makes grabbing a shot of the food difficult, if not impossible, during the winter (the patio isn’t really an option). But, quite frankly, with food this good… who cares? I don’t need to take a shot of the steak. The […]
Joey D’s Carnegie Deli Giant Corned Beef Sandwich
On Carnegie Deli rye, the corned beef is sliced papery thin and piled high. Served with Dusseldorf style german mustard, I don’t think it’s possible to make this sandwich any better. They do offer a regular-sized version of this sandwich. But, the […]
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 […]
