The Optimist

Oysters, West Coast

Sweet and bursting with an incredible depth of flavor, we loved them. These oysters are meant to be eaten as they are. They’re just too good to be hidden under a mignonette or grated horeseradish. Add a drop or two of lemon, if you must.

Tartufo Pizza

Tartufo’s Napolitana

Anchovies, fresh mozzarella, garlic, oregano, and San Marzano tomato sauce top a cracker thin crust that possesses a very good, mature flavor. That super-thin crust makes this a perfect pizza for two hungry adults to share without getting stuffed. This might not be […]

Americana Huckleberry Soda

Americana Huckleberry Soda

Finally, a soda that tastes like what it claims to be. This soda has a true huckleberry (or, wild blueberry) flavor. At 160 calories, it is quite sweet. But, the blend of huckleberry and elderberry give this soda real sweet/tart berry flavor with a lovely […]

East Pearl

Black Sticky Rice Balls

The black sticky rice balls were strewn with bits of chicken and pork. Very tasty and possibly better then the lotus leaf rice, that added crunchy bite of texture from the black rice made these a favorite. We were clearly in the mood for […]

Golden House — Dim Sum

Manila Clams In Black Bean Sauce

These were incredibly tender and extremely nibble-worthy.

Roast Duck

Ammazza

Ammazza’s Inferno Pizza

This gorgeous crust was generously loaded with sopressata, basil and delicious blobs of mozzarella. Then, sliced Calabrian peppers were scattered on top. This was an incredibly good pizza.

Good Structure

The toppings remained on top. […]

So Kong Dong

Bi Bim Gook Soo

This was an incredibly satisfying and lovely dish of spicy cold buckwheat noodles, shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts and toasted sesame seeds tossed in a pepper sauce made with sesame oil, soy and gochujang.

DeliManjoo @ Buford Highway Farmers Market

Vanilla Cream Deli Manjoo

For just over 2 dollars, you can have 12 two-bite eggy, cream filled treats. Be sure to look for the manjoo maker in operation. That way you can ask for a bag fresh off the presses.

Each manjoo is […]

Woo Nam Jeong Stone Bowl House

Kimbap

This was a gorgeous blend of flavors all rolled up and ready to eat.

Kimchi & Pork Stone Bowl

Spicy Squid Stone Bowl

Rich, savory and just the right bite of spice, the flavors didn’t […]

Gingerbread Cookie Shake @ Burger King

Gingerbread Cookie Shake

For a fast food shake, this was pretty darn good. The vanilla soft serve ice cream used to make this milkshake added a lovely, creamy vanilla background to accent the gingerbread spices.

If you like gingerbread, this is worth a try.
