New Orleans II March 29, 2010

I can’t believe it’s almost been a half a year since my trip.  I’m going to just post my notes.  No time to write. Brunch at Commander’s Palace. I completely understand why people rave about the service here. It is impeccable and the setting is very luxurious and traditional old school southern. Added to the [...]

Alabama & Georgia – BBQ, Fried Chicken, and More March 26, 2010

From Birmingham to Savannah and then back to Atlanta: Highlands Bar and Grill Oysters, Frito Misto, Chicken Sous Vide – all well executed nothing suprising but good clean flavors and very good service.  Seems like a popular after work hangout of professionals in the area.  I would definitely return it’s farm to table style done [...]
