Atlanta Dining Podcast, Restaurant Reviews: Nur Kitchen, Rina’s Kitchen, Il Giallo, Brooklyn Café, Po’Boy Shop

Episode 12 of the famed…okay infamous Atlanta Grubber podcast. I get ITP and, in some cases, barely OTP, so not just AlphaRozCreek by any means on this broadcast. We talk about Il Giallo, a smidgen outside of 285 on Roswell Road. It’s home to my wife’s favorite item favorite of said item. I was also able to corroborate several other top shelf restaurants I’ve been hearing a lot about. Nur Kitchen, holy heck, yes everything you heard is true. It’s great. What to get? Listen?

Pretty much every person I know who has been to the Po’Boy Shop in Decatur says they have the best Nawlins sandwiches. Put me on that bandwagon! Casa Robles from one of my favorite restauranteurs is another winner from Ryan Pernice. Maybe my two favorite meatballs are discussed on this episode including from here!

On the Beltline, I may have brought on the Armageddon with what I ordered at Rina’s Kitchen. The newest “hidden gem” La Fondita puts out great food at the former home of a no-longer-hidden one!

Favorite items in town? My wife and I each may have found one or more at Brooklyn Café. The best banh mi is at the Asian Square on Buford Highway at Quôc Húóng.

Atlanta Restaurant Review Podcast: From the Earth, Chattahoochee Food Works, Madras Chettinaad, Much More

Finally, episode 9 of the never-won-an-award podcast the Atlanta Grubber. I get all over town. In my backyard, I talk about From the Earth, which is a great restaurant, brewery, hangout, and now concert venue! Once a Decatur restaurant, now in Alpharetta, Madras Chettinaad is flat out one of the premier dining destinations in the area.

I give you an early scouting report on Chattahoochee Food Works, from Andrew Zimmerman, which appears to be well on its way to being the top food hall in the metro area. TydeTate Kitchen was where my maiden voyage was. But I have tried some previous locations of forthcoming purveyors and I tell you which ones I’m looking forward to. 

We finally have a good restaurant at Mansell Road and North Point Parkway. The drought ends with Passador Steak House. Two stud chefs Richard Ullio and Mike Di Paolo opened one of the best restaurants in Dunwoody, Novo Cucina.

Near Halcyon in Forsyth Country are two good places, Heidi’s Heavenly Cookies featured on national TV shows and publications, plus Jay’s Mexican Grill, which boasts they are, “Definitely not Tex-Mex.”

Restaurant Review Podcast: Alpharetta’s Savory Gourmet, Masterpiece Chinese Moves to Johns Creek

Episode 8 of Atlanta Grubber focuses on some fantastic restaurants again. Masterpiece Chinese has moved to a bigger and fancier location, extending the too-often-overlooked Asian Alley of Johns Creek. I had a lot of dishes and talk about many of them. 

A real New York deli in Alpharetta? No way. Wait until we tell you about Savory Gourmet in downtown Alpharetta. Forget about your Boar’s Head sandwiches. Turn it up several notches at Savory Gourmet. Great grab and go stuff is available as well. We probably should have talked about Seven Sisters Scones Café. There is so much great premade foods at their shop in Suwanee. 

The pain of losing O4W Pizza should be eased by being replaced by Glide Pizza on the Atlanta Beltline. I also visited Stone’s Cuisine and Cocktails and liked some dishes I specify. Two nice dessert options are Pop BarAlpharetta and Mr. Tino’s in Roswell, the latter has a lot more than ice cream.

Atlanta Dining Podcasts: Top Women Chefs

It’s Women’s History Month thus your infallible restaurant whisperer is going to feature some of the best female chefs and restaurant owners in metro. We start out with the personable Soroya Khoury from Hen Mother Cookhouse. The Napa Valley trained chef has built up an enormous following. Likewise, Jasmine Willis Slewitzke of Gracious Plenty gained years of experience with Ford Fry’s restaurants before turning Canton Street head over heels in love. 

Nooshin Yazdani of Noosh Kitchen earned a loyal following before expanding the restaurant and menu, transitioning to a more formal atmosphere. Nahm Thongyoung, chef/owner at Nahm Fine Thai Cuisine was a soothsayer, among the first to open top-shelf cuisine in what once was a chain of fools. Sripapa Oyanturak of M Thai Street Food has a fancier menu and creature comforts than “street food” might imply. 

Cakes by Darcy has a very loyal following purely by word of mouth. Who does better cupcakes? Not sure anyone. Two other young ladies also put out tasty and beautiful cakes, but also excel on the savory side. Safoora Kamali of Swan Café and Liud De Jesus Lopez, Liud’s Cuban Bakery & Café are two small, but outstanding sweet and savory places. Belen de la Cruz of Empanadas & Pastries is getting noticed by big media. Not sure if her small eatery qualifies as “hidden” anymore, but it’s still a gem.  

Briana Carson has two locations of Crave Pie in both Parson’s Alley and Alpharetta City Center. Arpena Satyu-Burge of Dutch Monkey Donuts brought great food to an area that is developing into the next great restaurant town. Michelle Liu and Karen Wang of Mama’s Kitchen gets some more love from us. 

Some key sous chefs at elite restaurants deserving of a mention are Jess Libatore, Sous Chef at Table and Main and Laura Orellana, Executive Sous Chef at Osteria Mattone

Restaurant Review Podcast For Atlanta: Buon Fornello, Canton Cooks, Socks Love Barbecue, New Realm Brewery

It’s Episode 6 of the Atlanta Grubber. Years ago, some of the best barbecue was in Cumming at Pappy Red’s. Atlanta barbecue has advanced light years since then. But Cumming has one of the top choices in the south, Sock’s Love Barbecue.

Sock’s has gotten deserved press, so no longer a “hidden gem” just a gem. Sandy Springs/Dunwoody almost in Brookhaven has Buon Fornello, featuring homemade pasta. Pick your own pasta, protein (or in my case proteins), sauce. Love Bolognese sauce? If you haven’t been here, you must drop what you are doing and go now.

Downtown Norcross has some of the best Cuban food and without question one of their best Cuban sandwich at Mojito’s Cuban-American Bistro. Atlanta has a lot of good Chinese restaurants, from Cantonese to Sichuan, and nearby Taiwanese. For American-Chinese staples, Canton Cooks is among the best. New Realm Brewery, situated on the Atlanta Beltline has everything: good beer, food, and A-Plus as a hangout, especially on a beautiful day.
