Atlanta Eats is a premiere television show in Atlanta, Georgia that features restaurants and dining establishments. It’s a fun show to watch to discover joints to fine dining around the city. Steak Shapiro who was a popular radio and tv personality in Atlanta founded the show and serves as its host. Recently, we saw an episode centered around Tucker. Since Tucker is nearby to us, we decided to give one of the featured restaurants a try. We picked Ford’s BBQ on Main Street. Opened in 2020, it’s grown in popularity rather quickly. Atlanta Eats founder and host Steak ShapiroPhoto credit: AtlantaEats.com My friend Laurie and I stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch, and it was just as good as advertised. The decor is a mix of leather and wood with a cool mural across one wall. I chose the chopped brisket with sides of mac ‘n cheese and Brunswick…

Part of the joy of being a blogger is spending time in coffee houses working. I recently visited a cafe in Lawrenceville, Georgia that has a relaxing vibe and cats. Yes, 4 cats live in the cafe and you can pet them and hang out. The Catfe is located in an older, beautifully decorated house – a little oasis in itself. This post contains affiliate banner links.

Restaurants are finding creative, sometimes extraordinary ways to continue serving diners during this world-wide pandemic while still staying afloat. Mediamatic ETEN is a vegan restaurant located in a greenhouse alongside an Amsterdam river. They are trying out a unique concept and waiting on permission from the government to hopefully continue it until it’s safe to reopen the full space. Diners sit outside in tiny waterfront greenhouses and staff serve their meals on a long plank thus allowing for social distancing. Looks like a clever way to dine and in a scenic spot. We found out about this new dining idea through Secret LA in an article by Ashlyn Davis.

Little Bangkok in Atlanta on Cheshire Bridge is Good

Tried a Thai and Chinese restaurant this week I’ve heard about forever while living in Atlanta. Little Bangkok is located down on Cheshire Bridge Road in a small strip mall. It’s over 20 years old now and has a pretty loyal following. The first thing you need to know is that parking is tight. I bypassed the lot because people literally double park to fit in the space. I parked next door risking a tow truck since it was only for lunch. The restaurant is more traditionally decorated with Thai posters and menus on the walls. I sat in a booth surrounded by a crowd consisting of diners in suits obviously on their lunch hour, friends having lunch, and older couples. Nice atmosphere.  I ordered their Tom Ka soup to start. It was different from what I normally expect when it comes to this dish. A little thicker and a…

Welcome to December. So far in Atlanta, Georgia it’s been a mixture of fall weather in the ’60’s to winter the past two days in the ’40’s. The south doesn’t always make its mind up about the weather! This post may contain affiliate links and we may earn compensation when you click on the links at no additional cost to you. John and I were lucky enough to travel down to Charleston, South Carolina for one night in late November. The Lowcountry as it’s called is one of my favorite places. I am from South Carolina and it feels like home. We stayed on King Street about two blocks from the city market. Before I travel, I like to research restaurants for all of our meals. And, I don’t mean look up a few. I deep dive into cross referencing places. I went to TripAdvisor first and pulled up top…

the Queen of Creole CuisineThe New Orleans Advocate staff photo by Mark Becherer New Orleans, Louisiana, is one of the most fascinating places I’ve been to. I’m a fairly new visitor since I’ve only been going since 2000. Been on maybe a half dozen trips and mainly done tourist activities. I’ve read about it all my life. It helps if you have a love of ghost stories and history and get obsessed with architecture. You can find all of that there. And that’s without touching on the food. The food. Liz M., a friend of mine, who is from New Orleans recently shared this article on Facebook. Leah Chase sounds like an extraordinary human being. I wish I’d had the chance to meet her. She changed her life and the world around her and there are generations who will remember her and what she did. And in such simple, meaningful ways. Her work…
