New Restaurant Tuesday, Enchiladas & a Monster

October 20, 2009 |

Since I spent the majority of Sunday planning this week’s menu (well, playing with a new program and planning meals), we needed to go grocery shopping and pick up all the items on my spiffy auto-generated list.   It was a surprisingly successful adventure.  Usually there are at least a few items that we cannot [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 3/11/2008 Dos Palmas – Athens, GA

March 20, 2008 |

We want our Eastside La Fiesta Back!!!!! No way we are eating Mexicali, so we head across town to try out the Timothy Road La Fiesta, I mean Dos Palmas. Its very strange, its like they took La Fiesta, renamed it, moved a few walls, painted, bought new waitstaff and opened for business. The menu [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 3/4/2008 Mama Sid’s – Athens, GA

March 4, 2008 |

Hmmm, this is a tough one. In general we would rather eat at/support a local place with history and community involvement. We would also like a clean table and some sort of waitron. We walked in and the place had a few tables with people, an empty table by the door, and several empty booths [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 2/26/2008 The Sultan – Bogart, GA

February 26, 2008 |

Do they have Turkish Coffee? I have been jonesing for a cup ever since we moved away from the Fat Omars. The Sultan is in kind of a weird location and we have often thought about stopping, but we are never on that side of town during lunch. Last week, I decided that it was [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 2/12/2008 Taste of India- Athens, GA

February 13, 2008 |

Amazingly, Taste of India has been open for 15 years. They must have painted the front or something because we had no idea it existed. We thought it was a fairly new open. Who knew? We went for lunch fairly early, for us, around 1PM. They were quite busy. We were seated right away and [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 2/5/2008 Agua Linda Taqueria- Athens, GA

February 5, 2008 |

Very often a burrito is a good thing, sometimes even great. We needed some frozen dough disks to make some empanadas (I KNOW that empanadas are the new global warming! Stop telling me that.) We were headed to Normaltown to stop by the Mexican Grocery, so we parked at Agua Linda to have lunch. We [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 1/29/2008 Cali-n-Tito’s – Athens, GA

January 29, 2008 |

We were going downtown to try Shokitini, but they only serve lunch on Fridays, so we pointed the Black Mistress (NewCarOfPunkerdooToReplaceOldCarOFPunkerdooSmashedByOakTree) towards Lumpkin to try Cali-n-Tito’s place. Its in the old K’Bob building across from the SDT house. The building has been given a curb appeal makeover so that it resembles a shack of sorts. [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 1/22/2008 Siri Thai Cuisine – Athens, GA

January 23, 2008 |

Thai food, what do I know about it? Not much except its spicy. Spicy is OK by me; Punkerdoo not so much. We reason that not all Thai food can be hot. We already know we know bupkis about the cuisine, lets go eat some. We noticed Siri Thai a year or so ago when [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 1/15/2008 The Grit – Athens, GA

January 23, 2008 |

Yep, I know… How long have we lived here and have never eaten at The Grit? Sorry, we are slackers for that side of town I guess. The Grit seemingly resides in a land of no parking zones and forbidding signs stating If you are a GRIT customer and park here you will be towed. [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 1/8/2008 – Last Resort Grill, Athens, GA

January 22, 2008 |

In case you have not figured it out, its a new (to us, we are boring and go to the same places all the time) restaurant and it happens for lunch on a tuesday. We went to the Last Resort Grill. We sat in the “outside” area which, this time of year, means a patio [...]
