Gokul Sweets — Another Visit

Malai Jam & Kala Jamun

Similar to gulab jamun, kala jamun are fried balls soaked in sugar syrup and rolled in coconut. Kala jamun have a bit more density, compared to the softer, lighter gulab jamun. Gokul Sweets makes malai jam by slicing one kala jamun in half to create a base. It […]

Spring Dosa

The spring dosa rolled with cabbage, carrots, pureed potato and other vegetables was the standout highlight of the meal. The vegetables were cooked thoroughly, but, maintained a bit of much-needed crunch to compliment the puree of spiced potatoes. This dish perfectly illustrates how easy it would be to be a […]

Good Food/Bad Lighting @ Phipps Tavern

Salmon Sandwich: Fresh, tasty, and perfectly cooked.

The salmon was perfectly cooked, but, came on a rather wimpy hamburger bun. Even so, the bun was perfectly fresh, toasted and my honey loved it.

The winner of the day: Spicy Shrimp in a baguette… Can you see my sandwich in the […]

Wyatt's BBQ

The Setting: Just down the street from Ann’s Snack Bar, this super-small building with a brick walled oven offers little in the way of space (standing room only). But, who cares? We’re here for the food. And, we were very happy to dine on picnic tables at the park down the street.

The Staff: Friendly […]

Best Croissant in Atlanta

The Contenders:

The current frontrunner — Star Provisions

Perfectly delicate flakes surrender to your bite. The rich full-flavored dough edges out the competition with its buttery goodness. The sweet butter flavor is clearly present, but, in no way overwhelming or overpowering. The butter has a sweet […]

The Good, The Bad, And, The Ugly @ Star Provisions

The Good: Two incredible po’boy sandwiches with shrimp… Each sandwich was jam-packed with freshly fried shrimp, juicy-sweet & thinly sliced tomatoes, and brushed with a mildly spicy remoulade.
