Hungry For A Job? …there’s an APP for that!

Remember when we used to talk on our cell phones? We mainly use our phones today for texting, surfing the web, and, of course, apps — and not the kind you plate. The technology has become so popular — it’s even being embraced by restaurant industry leaders, a group that historically has been slow to add technology to their menus. Restaurant more...
Cigar City Finally Arrives

The original planned arrival date seems so long ago, but after numerous delays — and, a whole lot of patience — Cigar City Brewing is here! What's the big deal? The Tampa based brewery is regarded by many as one of the best breweries in the US and their Barrel-Aged Hunahpu’s Imperial Stout is legendary among beer enthusiasts. No, they didn't debut in Atlanta more...
Update: Sunday Sales

Well, apparently, my powers of prognostication are relatively poor. In early March, when I last wrote about the push to finally permit Sundays alcohol sales in Georgia, I predicted that Georgia’s legislature was unlikely to pass any reforms this session. In case you missed it, both the state Senate and House passed Senate Bill 10 (also known as SB 10), the bill that more...
Georgia Blue Laws: Sunday Sales and Growlers
By John Molinaro at March 8, 2011 | 8:57 am | 6 Comments
As has been widely reported, Georgia’s brief fling with entering the mid-1930s (at least in terms of how and when we purchase our booze) lies dashed on the state house floor. Gone are the giddy day dreams of picking up a bomber of imperial coffee stout for Sunday brunch or continuing Saturday’s all-night revelry with a quick trip—on foot of course—to the gas more...

Peter Chang Update

I dined with a fun small group of folks (mostly Asian) at Tasty China this evening. During this 16-course gut buster prepared by Peter Chang himself, I was given new information regarding his possible new restaurant here in Atlanta. I am told that an attempt to secure a certain location has failed. As a result, Chang is headed back to Virginia to continue his more...
Food Trends

Will we go beyond burgers and pizza anytime soon? People have already begun discussing typical end of year stuff, like food trends. It’s seemingly the food topic food geeks want to talk about most as we exit one year and enter another. Before I pull out my trusty crystal ball to give you a glimpse into the future of food, I must also take one very important factor more...
Blowfish, Anyone?

Suwanee – I believe special thanks are due those who first dare certain foods. For example, sea urchin roe — or uni, as it’s known in Japanese cuisine. Imagine the fearless soul first to scoop the rich, orange roe from this prickly orb, only to be surprised by its briny nuances and sweet undertones. Ironically, I reckon it was probably easier for the first more...
