Taqueria San Pancho

Tacos al Pastor (You may order a platter with foil wrapped tortillas or tacos a la carte.)

Richly spiced, but not spicy… this was the clear highlight of our visit. Sadly, the tortillas that accompanied this platter were quite stale. We do know how easy it is for […]

Toscano & Sons

Crema di Marroni, Chocolate Fig Jam, & Roasted Fava Beans

Roasted fava beans, you could say they’re a slightly nuttier, tastier big brother to the soy nut. These were roasted nicely and seasoned appropriately with salt. We’d definitely buy them again.

The fate of these two […]

Don Pedro

Torta al Pastor

Tender seasoned pork, avocado, pico de gallo, and lettuce fill this tasty torta.

Chilaquiles with Steak & Eggs

The steak can be hit or miss… great one day and a bit tough on the next. […]

Baba’s Gyro & Kabab

Mirza Ghasemi

Aladdin’s Mediterranean Grill

Aladdin’s Kabab Sampler

This platter was jammed full of meat with two pieces of grilled chicken breast, cubes of lamb, and two generous pieces of kofta. Then, add a mountain of rice, a good-sized portion of Jerusalem salad and hummus topped with olive oil, herbs, a sprinkle of […]

Red Pepper’s Cuban Sandwich

Inside The Sandwich

Aside from the excessive use of condiment, this was a nice sandwich. But, if we hadn’t ordered it by name off of the menu, we’d never know it was a Cuban sandwich. In addition to the […]

Java Indonesian Food

Keju Kacang Mede

At first glance, these might look like cookies. But, they’re actually a light and crispy savory cracker. Buttery, cheesy and a nice bit of roasted nut crunch from the cashews, we enjoyed these puffy crackers that melt away under your bite.

Chinese Dhaba

Dry-Spiced Manchurian Chicken

Bullet Chicken

Crispy Chili Paneer

This time we did take-out…

By the time we got home after an unfortunate detour, these tasty morsels lost most of their crunch. (Totally our fault.) But, we […]

Miso Salmon @ Cheesecake Factory

Miso Salmon

With Lemon Sauce And Snow Pea Garnish

Have you seen the 2009 video of Michael Ruhlman responding to Kelly Alexander’s challenge to try the miso salmon at Cheesecake Factory? We did. (Some time in late 2009) Then, we promptly forgot about […]

La Fonda Latina

Grilled Pork & Mango Salad

It would be silly to complain about the mildest winter in our history of Atlanta winters.

But, we’re seriously ready for spring.

Pork, peppers, onions and mango slices are grilled and served on top of a […]
