Restaurant Review: Cipolline Osteria, Palm Springs

Dinner at Cipolline last night -- another joint recommended by our hosts. The Cipolline Osteria has a distinct and authentic 1950's vibe -- a lodge-like atmosphere, complete with a swanky bar and a piano player belting out "Mac the Knife" and "Mame...

Restaurant Review: Thai Smile, Palm Springs, CA

On a lark, Clyde and I decide to fly out to Palm Springs for the President's Day weekend. After snagging ourselves a spot at one of the local resorts, we hit the Thai restaurant our host recommended: Thai Smile. Outside and inside, Thai Smile looks...

Flying Biscuit Mystery

For a lot of people, Flying Biscuit Cafe (corner of 10th and Piedmont) is apparently a Very Big Deal. Every morning, the place is packed. On weekdays, the line to get in stretches down the block, obstructing entry into the neighboring Subway and...

Midtown Eats: Twisted Taco

Not your usual "chips and salsa" Tex-Mex joint, Twisted Taco (Midtown, at 66 12th Street) is a warm, welcoming neighborhood restaurant with something of a split personality.

Euphoric over Yoforia

It's cold. It's creamy. It's fat free. And at 25 calories per ounce, it's a guilt-free dessert worth driving for. In a word: it's Yoforia, a neighborhood ice cream joint that serves up three exquisite flavors of frozen yogurt: original, green tea...

Puras Tortas

Driving along Atlanta's Buford Highway is like taking a high-speed shuttle through a dozen countries in fifteen minutes. Mexico gives way to Viet Nam, which gives way to Thailand, which gives way to China, which gives way to Korea, which opens up...

zpizza Puts the “ZZZZ” in Pizza

zpizza promises “you’ll never experience a bland, boring, blasé pizza.” The premise — fresh produce, gourmet toppings, fire-baked crusts — sounds good enough, but the proof of any pizza joint, ultimately, is in the pie...

The King and I

Since returning to Atlanta, we've been looking for the local equivalent of Jackson's Thai House: a down-to-earth, home-owned eatery serving family-style Thai. Local foodies are nuts about Nam and Tamarind Seed. Both places serve up good Thai food in...

Requiem for Einstein’s

Originally, part of the appeal of our new home's location was its proximity to Einstein's -- a glitzy, funky local eatery with an amazingly spacious outdoor patio. In years past, I've enjoyed plunking down in the shadow of Midtown's skyscrapers...

Food Worth Walking For

Places I walk to, on a regular basis, since moving to Atlanta: Einstein's. It's right next door ... so why not? While the menu is packed with pricey entrees, you can still snag a pretty good burger with sweet potato fries for under ten bucks. Follow...
