Barkers Red Hots Roswell: My Buffalo Connection
By Tom Maicon at August 9, 2011 | 9:17 am | 4 Comments
Food from Buffalo is severely under represented here in Atlanta, a city where it’s easy to find just about any type of cuisine. Sure, Buffalo-style chicken wings are everywhere, but I’m talking about beef on weck in all its salty, spicy, succulent glory, and those sexy Sahlen’s hot dogs. As far as I know, Barkers Red Hots on Windy Hill Road in Marietta has 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...
This Burger Is Hot As Hell!

Kudos to he who first bit into a hot pepper, only to be jolted by its wonderful fiery wrath and relentless sting. We are all eternally grateful. I only say this because I really do like it hot. So much so, that I've been told I have asbestos mouth. I suppose that's what happens when one belches freshly squeezed habanero juice, after breakfast. So, when I say 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...

Two Institutions of Higher Wieners
By Tom Maicon at March 12, 2010 | 9:40 am | 10 Comments
There's plenty of hot dog joints here in the Atlanta area, but only two are recognized as hot dog institutions, besides The Varsity of course. Let's start with Brandi's World Famous Hot Dogs (1377 Church Street Ext NE, Marietta, 770.422.3681). This area classic started as Betty's World Famous Hot Dogs. Betty retired and sold the — along with her famous chili more...
Tasty China: From the belly
By Tom Maicon at June 9, 2009 | 4:32 pm | 0 Comment
Occasionally a restaurant arrives that instantly grabs the hearts, touches the souls and wakes the palates of nearly every individual who walks through its doors. You know it right away, at very first bite, that this restaurant will be one of great significance, and that it will ultimately alter the culinary landscape, as we know it. Tasty China (585 Franklin Rd more...
Spicy Thai bbq pork strips
By Tom Maicon at April 16, 2009 | 4:21 pm | 0 Comment
My beercentric neighbors recently inquired about Thai restaurants over a few hoppy beers and a funky, obscurely labeled, bottle of red wine. We live on the Westside. They like Spoon. I like Spoon, too. But I also like Siam Square (1995 Windy Hill, Marietta, Tel: 770.333.1700) — a lot. They all tilt their heads in bewilderment. “Where’s Siam more...
