Antico Pizza Napoletana

The Diavola Pizza

Sopressata, Pepperonata, & Bufalo

Very generously loaded with thin slivers of sopressata, those thin slivers get crispy at the edges. It is those crispy edges that are one of the highlights of this delectable flavor combination. The way that the […]

Sweet Potato Fries @ Burger King

Burger King’s Sweet Potato Fries

Burger King’s new menu makes an easy target. And, say what you will about most of the new additions. These sweet potato fries are really good. We’d say they hover somewhere just above other fast food fry options. If we’re starving, we’d pick […]

Mariscos La Riviera Nayarit

Marlin Tostada

Forget tuna salad, this is what’s for lunch!

Salsa & Extra Lime On The Side

This might not be the prettiest of salsas. But, it sure was good and spicy.

Sweet Hut Bakery

Coconut Tarts

Glazed with (apricot?) jelly and topped with a cherry, these moist little coconut tarts are some of the best coconut tarts we’ve ever tasted.

Stuffed with a super moist and rich coconut filling that’s one part cake and one part cookie, […]

Havana Restaurant

Fried Pork with Onions And Peppers

Served with yellow rice dotted with peas and a condiment cup of red (creole?) sauce on the side, this is definitely the most unusual version of this dish we’ve ever seen. Sadly, the most notable seasoning on the onions and peppers was […]

Cuban Diner

Vaca Frita

Vaca Frita (Fried Cow)… This is one of the all-time great classic Cuban dishes. The best? On the right day, we might debate the issue.

Tender shreds of braised or roast beef are pan-fried until crispy at the edges. Then, it’s usually tossed with […]

Mambo’s Cafe

Masas de Puerco Frita

Tender chunks of roast pork are deep fried and served with onions marinated in mojo. Mojo is the secret ingredient to so many phenomenal Cuban dishes. This bright marinade and/or sauce consists of a blend of citrus, garlic and a touch of vinegar.

Our Way Cafe

No, that’s not bbq’d pork. It’s roasted pork.

This pork was roasted so perfectly tender that it was possible to pull into succulent threads. Those threads were then tossed in a gravy made of the pan drippings. Topped with a buttery biscuit, this was home style decadence.

Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub

Nooks, Crannies, & Cobblestones

Equal parts of gloss, character, charm and tasty nibbles, we were instantly delighted and bemused. The exterior is shiny new and modern. Then, you step into the dimly lit interior. Cobblestones cover the floor. Each turn exposes another cleverly placed table or booth dripping […]

Rosita, Again

Cheerwine

Torta Cubana

From the top layers of guacamole, lettuce and diced tomatoes to the bottom layer of beef, this was one killer sandwich.

(And, it’s more than enough (too much, really) after a morning hiker or two up Stone Mountain.)
