Nón lá (Leaf Hat)
These hats are genius. We bought one. Within minutes, we were fighting over it. It’s light, practical and highly effective. For $3.99, it’s a bargain. And, we’ll be back for another one… soon.
Cassava Chips
While the actual chips are much […]
Mofongo with Spicy Shrimp
As you can see, the plantains are cooked to perfection. And, that’s no exaggeration. (My pictures were better last time.) The blend of crispy bits, caramelization, and creamy mashed plantain work in delicious harmony. The crispy crumbs of deep fried pork in the center are an […]
Figs Stuffed with Caramel
Don’t feel guilty. There’s a fig wrapped around your caramel. I love these individually wrapped candies. One makes a perfect little treat.
Walnut!
Creamy walnut pops… genius! Love them!
Juice of the Cashew Fruit
I’ve found […]
Tasty Over-Stuffed Cannoli
Also, tasty… lobster tails
But, we thought there was a bit too much whipped cream in the pastry cream filling. (Lobster Tails, also known as Sfogliatelle, traditionally have a cannoli-like ricotta and semolina filling. We both prefer them that way.) […]
Kantola
Patel Brother’s new space a few doors down from it’s old location is larger, easier to navigate, and stocked with tons of fresh, new stuff. The produce was incredibly fresh. The ginger was some of the freshest I’ve seen in a grocery store. And, the kantola gourds (pictured above) […]
Betty invites you in. (One of us loves Betty. Cleary, someone at Smokejack does, too.) We found Smokejack by chance about 2 years ago. We’ve been loving it ever since.
Fried Pickles
We’re not usually fans of fried pickles. But, these were really good. Part […]
Pearl Ku Ding Tea
Rose Green Tea
Both of these gorgeous teas were purchased at Buford Highway Farmers Market for approximately $10 each. Given the quantity and quality, that’s an incredible bargain.
Buford Highway Farmers Market 5600 Buford Highway Doraville, GA 30340 770 455 0770

Ribs, Mac N Cheese, Brunswick Stew & Griddled Biscuit
There’s a lot to love at The Swallow at the Hollow. Set down a quiet side street with a gravel path leading to make-shift parking under the trees, we feel like we’re visiting friendly neighbors. A mountain of chopped wood decorates […]
Scallops, Artichokes & Crispy Pancetta
The area surrounding Mall of Georgia is a dead zone for restaurants. So, in a moment of hungry desperation, we decided to give Luciano’s a chance. And, we’re glad we did. With an interesting 80’s white on white meets Abercrombie interior, we weren’t sure what […]
Salted Caramel & Maple Bacon Brittle
Given the light color, we were shocked by the richness of this salted caramel ice cream. The buttery caramel flavor reminds me of sticky toffee pudding. Love it!
And, the maple bacon brittle is oddly addictive. The genius is the super-thick brittle […]
