Next up in the batting order of local chefs is Alan Mothner. Many of you might know Alan from Murphey Candler Park or perhaps from one of his photography classes or quite possibly from the Dunwoody Nature Center at which he is the Executive Director!… Read More »
Even though Josh spends a lot of time at Murphy Candler coaching football and watching his kids play baseball, softball and more, he still takes the time to treat his wife, Jaclyn, to some good eats at home.

Foodie Patty thinks I’m a great cook but not sure that’s true. I’m just a grill guy that usually shoots from the hip. When she asked me to share a favorite recipe I was stumped, don’t really have any “recipes” of my own.… Read More »
Recipes, for me, have never been an “etched in stone” kind of thing. Whether I’m following a recipe in a cookbook/online, trying to recreate something I’ve eaten at a restaurant or simply making something up, I rarely repeat a recipe verbatim. … Read More »
I think most of us can agree that Valentine’s Day can be a daunting holiday, especially for guys. I know it is a bit unfair, but some of us ladies have high expectations for what Valentine’s Day should be. We put just a LITTLE pressure on our significant other not to screw up.… Read More »

I grew up in Atlanta, so many of my culinary influences come from Southern Chefs and the Southern comfort food my mother made when I was a child.… Read More »
An awesome new restaurant coming to Dunwoody is definitely an event to celebrate. For that reason, Audra and I could not turn down an invitation from Newk’s Eatery franchisee owners Jay and Randi Medley to come check out their new location. Their other store is in Brookhaven so many of you have probably tried Newk’s already.… Read More »
Foodie Patty and I made our way over to Decatur (en route to the DeKalb Farmer’s Market) yesterday for my first visit ever to Souper Jenny. I was delighted to find that every single one of their soups yesterday was gluten free! We both had the tomato basil with goat cheese and thought it was delicious. … Read More »
Foodie Patty has had too busy of a schedule this week to let you know about our awesome Wing Factory lunch so I’m going to take a moment and let you know about it! We headed over to their new Dunwoody location (near Dunwoody Tavern) last Friday for a late lunch and sat outside in the beautiful fall weather on their quiet lovely patio. … Read More »
This Frenzy takes us on a little detour from Sandy Springs restaurants to the mecca of gluten free products that Audra is in search of. The number of people who have gluten sensitivity astounds me. I am fortunate that I don’t have gluten issues yet, but am excited to jump on the bus because you never know what is going to hit you next.… Read More »
Not only did we have a new area to discover this week, we also went on a search for a delish restaurant with gluten free options. After searching for an interesting and off the beaten path restaurant, we settled on Samad Mediterranean Grill and Market. In one word….SCORE! Although there were very few patrons in the restaurant when we arrived, we were confident it would be good based on our research. … Read More »
I knew it was time to end our summer sabbatical, when my Mom asked when I was going to write another food “blob.” Over our sabbatical from the Foodie Frenzy, I’ve been pondering what to do for our next foray. Since it is right out our back door, we’re going to “Say Hello To Sandy Springs”.… Read More »
Finally, FINALLY, I made it to Sushi House Hayakawa. You know I have been pining for this gem, however, not all my compadres are always sushi fans. This is definitely a restaurant best suited for a true sushi aficionada and purist.
When my Mom and Sister asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday, with no stutter, I said Hayakawa!… Read More »
Upon declaring that we were giving up Buford Highway for lent and going for seafood options, Audra and I have been tinkering with a fun, spring food theme. One of the major benefits of living in a thriving ‘burb of an amazing city is the limitless creative options of ways to graze. Since food trucks have become extremely popular in the past few years, Audra and I agreed that it would be fun to check out the cornucopia of possibilities out there.… Read More »
