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 [...]

New Restaurant Tuesday 12/27/07 Casa Mia – Athens, GA

January 22, 2008 |

Yes I know the 27th was a Thursday. So what? We decided to call it New Restaurant Tuesday a couple of weeks later. We went to Casa Mia to try the Tapas. They have a fairly small menu, but one of the choices was 5 tapas and a bottle of the house red. Some quick [...]

Bubba’s BBQ

September 12, 2007 |

HEY! Guess what? I am going to review a Q joint that is not on Hwy 441. Punkerdoo and I were on our way to Chapel Hill, NC to help Photo Specialties with their Bid Day. We hit Charlotte around lunch time, so we asked Guy (remember him?) where we might locate some sustenance. Guy [...]

Fat Buddies BBQ

July 20, 2007 |

If find it really strange that while most resturants have names that do everything to hide the fact that you will actually be consuming food (and probably food that is not good for you), BBQ joints go out of their way to remind you that you are going to eat PIG. As someone once said, [...]

GA Pig BBQ

July 10, 2007 |

If you head south on I-95, you are bombarded by Sonny’s BBQ billboards. While they do tend to make one hungry, the thought of having to eat at one keeps us looking for local BBQ eateries. The problem with looking for M&P food while driving on an Interstate is that they tend not to advertise. [...]

Jot Em Down BBQ

July 1, 2007 |

I know, 2 BBQ places in 2 days. Too bad! We will probably try Bill’s BBQ (just outside of Athens on N29) on Monday. Hell, I think we might just smoke our own butt for the 4th. Jot Em Down BBQ is in our minds (and mouths) the best Q in the Athens area. That [...]

Zeb Dean’s BBQ

June 30, 2007 |

On the Hartwell side of Danielsville is Zeb’s BBQ. I had read that this was the place to go in the Athens area for proper Q. As we were coming down from SC, we pulled off I85 at R77 and then took R29S back into Athens. We saw many a Q shack on the way, [...]
