Dantanna's. Danterrible's.
I should have greased up my hair, ripped my sleeves off a T-Shirt, and went to a tanning bed before coming to this shit hole. You would think that being located in the heart of Atlanta would constitute the restaurants surrounding it would represent the class and upscale dining of the area.
For Dantanna’s that’s just not the case. Upon entering, the lighting was so low that I...

Gladys Knight & Ron Winan's Chicken and Waffles -...
There are a gaggle of G restaurants in Atlanta, but not too many struck our fancy. Most were of the Grand variety (Grand China, Grand Buffett, Grand Panda, etc…) which are fabulous and really useful when I get that hankering for a good round of gut busting Chinese food. Buuutt not so helpful on our tour, which we like to consider a tad….hmmm, should I say, distinguished. *pinky to side...

FarmBurger - Lins
FarmBurger, oh FarmBurger. How I love thee, let me count the ways.
You are part farm; where you raise healthy grassfed cows, pigs, and veggies.
Part world-class old-fashioned butcher; humanely preparing the finest bacon and burgers in town.
Part down-home good-ol-boy geet-yet yon-to restaurant, complete with an old soda pop fountain bar to order at, mix matched wooden tables and old school...

Elevation - Lins
The main appeal to Elevation Chophouse and Skybar, other than its menu created by Richard Blais, is its location at McCollum Airport in Kennesaw. It boasts panoramic views of Kennesaw Mountain (who knew that existed?). Unfortunately, the wide open windows translated into baking in the southern spring sun.
I believe our main problem with Elevation, was that we went on Mother’s Day....

Dantanna's - Lins
My mother always told me: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. So I’ll keep this brief.
Smelled like smoke. Overpriced. Nothing original about the menu. Waiter got my order completely wrong. Charged me for the right order and the wrong order.
Nice parts: Salad was pretty good, felt amazing outside.

Cafe Intermezzo - Lins
I’ll start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.
Incredible location, tucked off Peachtree Road in that really cute patch of upper downtown, lower buckhead - known as Brookwood. Our tiny cafe table was in the front window overlooking the bustling street. I’ve never been to Europe, but I’m pretty sure thats exactly what it feels like.
Already in a state of bliss we...

Buckhead Pizza - Lins
Soo…this Buckhead Pizza place. Kinda had the feeling of a Chick-Fil-A dining room, but slightly Italian. The menu was quite promising! It spoke of glorious pizzas decked with all the usual veggie varieties plus duck conif, gyro lamb, or Atlantan steak. All labeled with witty city names like The Olympian, The Perimeter, and The Ted, a quadruple meat concoction (a playful jab at our...

Atkins Park - Lins
It was love at first sip….an old-fashioned whiskey cider on a plantation-esque porch.
As Atlanta’s oldest continuously-licensed tavern, Atkins brews one mean ale and is steeped in good down home cookin. I partook of the the Guinness Dipped Pretzels, Fried Green Tomatoes & Pickles, Drunken Pork Tenderloin with a pan fried grit cake, grilled asparagus, green apple cabbage slaw...
