First, I must start by saying the food at Canoe was… wait for it… superb!  I don’t know why I waited so long to make a reservation.  I just assumed it was an overrated restaurant that did not deserve the fanfare.  It definitely lives up to its reputation.  The food, the view, the service, nothing… Continue reading Canoe (Atlanta, GA)

A few months ago, I was at Phipps and decided to stop by Yebo to grab a quick bite and of course in typical Atlanta fashion the restaurant was gone!  So after a quick Google I realized they weren’t gone gone….just transplanted and re-branded.  They are now known as Yebo Ski Haus…er.. Yebo Beach Haus…it… Continue reading Yebo Ski Haus (Atlanta, GA)

So first I must say that I love poke.  I absolutely love the flavor of it and I’ve even made it at home.  So of course you know I was surprised that in the middle of snow ski country, I came across a restaurant serving poke.  For those of you who don’t know poke (poh-kay)… Continue reading Laid Back Poke Shack (Holladay, UT)

So I know Dearborn, Michigan isn’t exactly in the south, but I feel I take a little bit of the south with me where ever I travel. Recently the family and I were in Michigan visiting my grandmother and decided to venture out and try some new restaurants.  We had just watched an episode of… Continue reading Hamido (Dearborn, MI)

Recently, my family and I decided to vacation in L.A. (that’s Lower Alabama not Los Angeles for you non-southerners). Gulf Shores Alabama is a little known vacation spot that has excellent beaches and isn’t as commercialized as Panama City or Destin, FL. We stayed in Orange Beach which is located on Perdido Key. On a… Continue reading Lambert’s Cafe (Foley, AL)

Several years ago my husband and I were introduced to Ethiopian food and fell in love with the flavor and experience. Our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the Atlanta area is Desta Ethiopian Kitchen. We go at least once a week for lunch or dinner. Our 14 month old even loves Ethiopian food! Every time we… Continue reading Desta Ethiopian Kitchen (Atlanta, GA)
