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.”

I ask you to visit the preferred charity of the Atlanta Grubber, the STAR House, which does splendid work with at-risk children, leveling the playing field and helping them get a great education. Check out the website, see how much good they do, and please, please help.

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

Atlanta Dining Podcast: Cubano’s, Frankfurt Döner & Meats, In-Depth Gio’s Chicken, Mama’s Kitchen, Arditi Pizza

AtlantaGrubber restaurant review podcast presents episode 4. Yes, we did mention Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano in a previous episode, but we give it a more in-depth review here. Reports say that Cubano’s is the best Cuban sandwich this city has ever seen. Your infallible restaurant whisperer says for sure if it is.

While discussing Cuban sandwiches, we give deserved shoutouts to Mojito’s Cuban-American Bistro, Tortugas Cuban Grill, D’Cuban Café, and Buena Gente Cuban Bakery.

“Hidden gems” is a phrase thrown around a lot, but what does it mean? Joe Duffy may not be able to define it, but he knows them when he tastes them and he may unveil the two best in Greater Atlanta in Frankfurt Doner and Meats in Ball Ground and Johns Creek’s Mama’s Kitchen. A jaw-dropping sandwich, remarkable and uncommon in these parts can be had at Emidio’s Restaurant. We also head to Snellville to check out Arditi Pizza.
