  Bar Chatter #7When it's not enough to make a post, but deserves to go out to the world... it's just Bar Chatter.Boston Market must be better than I think. I ran out at lunchtime to knock off a few errands, and on the way back in I decided to forgo th...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Parish

  Posted on Tuesday September 29th, 2009 at 17:21 in review, food, restaurant, good, weekend

  Last year, for the first time in four or five years, Shade and I didn't spend her birthday together. She'd just moved to DC from Boston, had just started her residency and the idea of flying in for one or two days just wasn't in the cards. I thought ...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - The Social House

  Posted on Sunday August 9th, 2009 at 13:04 in relationships, review, restaurant, 2009, mediocre

  When I was college quite a while ago, I had a professor make a statement that at the time was probably true: That only black people ate at black restaurants. It was sociological statement that at the time may have been true, but does not hold water t...

  Posted on Thursday July 2nd, 2009 at 23:00 in thoughts, life, review, love, God, zen, restaurant, sporty

  I had dinner with Sporty.Last week, for my birthday, I gave myself a present and sent Sporty a book I made by hand, just for her. In was some poetry, some quotations and a story I wrote that put on the table the reasons for a whole lot of things. I w...

  So for brunch Saturday, Schmoopy takes me to a gay Chinese diner. Wait, I'll explain.Schmoopy, who I've known for almost a decade now, wanted to go sit and eat since this week she didn't have any issues she wanted to bounce off somebody while she thi...

  Ramblings Post #2 The return of something I really liked to do, go new places and see what the food is like. Sure I generally order the same things, but it's off a different menu. And just like your scrambled eggs don't taste just like your mom's scr...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Ray's on the River

  Posted on Tuesday December 9th, 2008 at 07:45 in review, food, restaurant, atlanta, good

  If you've lived in Atlanta more than say, I don't know, a week maybe, you've heard of Ray's on the River. It is quite frankly an Atlanta Institution. Oddly, most of this jewel of the south's "institutions" are places to eat and not places of great tr...

  Mental Rehab Post #9I'm knocking the dust off a concept, that I'm not sure I'm gonna continue. Most of these involved her, but a few of them don't, and since I gotta eat...well, when I remember, I may as well let ya'll in on what's out there. Even do...

  Mental Rehab Post #7I'm finding out a lot about myself. Some things that I didn't know, some others that I knew and was actively suppressing that have morphed into something else entirely. But I recently found out something else. Yesterday Schmoopy h...

• A Long Slow Restaurant Review - Canoe

  Posted on Monday June 23rd, 2008 at 22:22 in restaurant, atlanta

  I realize that normally my restaurant reviews are neither really that quick, or ultimately a review of the restaurant but this weekend I spent a few hours at a spot that I like immensely. Back when Shade and I hung out, like in 2002, it was a little ...

• Quiet Moments

  Posted on Monday June 9th, 2008 at 18:44 in restaurant, atlanta, sporty

  Sporty and I did lunch on Sunday at this little Indian place in Norcross. Moments like that are why I wonder who we are to each other. She was fresh from a workout, but looked radiant. It was a place we'd been before, Himalayas Restaurant on Peachtre...

• The Burger Review

  Posted on Thursday May 22nd, 2008 at 20:47 in restaurant, meat, dining out

  In a desperate effort to lighten my mood, and turn the tide from a pity party over Sporty that I seem to be falling into, I will now attempt to move on to lighter fare, something a little funny. I like a good hamburger. Not a cheeseburger, or bacon c...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Maxim Prime

  Posted on Tuesday May 6th, 2008 at 23:31 in restaurant, sporty

  The table we ate at is the one in the background.It's a short week with mother's day preperations and all, so Sporty and I went out on a Tuesday to see what the buzz was with the spot on the other corner across from the lackluster Thrive, the men's m...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Mali

  Posted on Friday May 2nd, 2008 at 16:41 in restaurant, atlanta, dining out, sporty

  Thursday night in Atlanta. There is the Leopard Lounge. Esso's is hot now. The guys at work got together at Hooters for a party for a guy transferring to another section. And Sporty and I ended up in Thailand via the Virginia Highlands. Sporty has al...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Thrive

  Posted on Wednesday April 23rd, 2008 at 17:31 in restaurant, atlanta, sporty, bland

  Last evening Sporty and I got together for a bite in the city. In the car we couldn't decide what to eat: she'd already been to the place I had picked out and her diet is no bread no fried foods for now. So sitting at a redlight downtown I said there...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Trader Vics

  Posted on Thursday April 10th, 2008 at 16:28 in restaurant, dining out, sporty

  I've long heard of Trader Vics. It's legendary. They invented the Mai-Tai. And I've often meant to end up at the one here in Atlanta and see what all the hubbub is about. Yeah. So when Sporty suggested we try it out I was with it. It's supposed to Ti...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Soho

  Posted on Friday April 4th, 2008 at 13:47 in restaurant, atlanta, changes, sporty

  I wasn't going to review this restaurant. Don't get me wrong, it was a lovely experience and the food was great, but sometimes things don't go according to plan.Soho is a neighborhood spot, if you live in Vinings, right there off the railroad tracks ...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Steel Rest. & Lounge

  Posted on Wednesday March 26th, 2008 at 23:05 in restaurant, dining out, sporty, bland

  We had reservations at seven on a Wednesday for the new hotspot Steel Restaurant and Lounge down in Midtown on West Peachtree just below 10th street. Despite a growing chorus of logic and reason, I continue to confound myself by hanging out with Spor...

• The McDonalds Saga - A True Story

  Posted on Monday March 17th, 2008 at 13:03 in zen, restaurant, cheap, crazy theories, learned

  I do not eat at the most popular fast food restaurant franchise in world. Or at McDonald's either. (Ha!)I have boycotted the chain for almost 20 years now. I don't eat the burgers, the fries, the shakes, apple pies or even drink water out of McDonald...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - J. Christopher's

  Posted on Thursday March 13th, 2008 at 14:49 in restaurant, sweet tea

  I looked back over my past few entries, and damned if I omitted...or forgot...to include my write up for J. Christopher's. I breezed through a Saturday ago with Schmoopy, one of my older buddies. I don't want to give the impression I eat out a lot, b...

• A Quick Restaurant Review - Rose of India

  Posted on Tuesday March 11th, 2008 at 18:20 in restaurant, atlanta, dining out, sporty

  It's a Monday night in Atlanta, so what do you want to do? Well Sporty claims she feels bad because we don't hang out as much as we used to and so she made it a point for us to hang out this week. She had a sport to go play (hence "sporty") but would...
