Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I was all ready to take this weekend by storm…until I went to my annual eye exam yesterday morning. I thought I would hear the same “Your prescription got worse; you have really bad eyesight” that I hear every other year. Unfortunate, but I’m used to my near blindness. Instead, I was told that I…

My cousin Amy was in town for the weekend and although Matt and I got to hang out with her on Saturday night for a little drunken revelry, we wanted to make sure we got in some sober time. That led us to an MLK breakfast this morning during our day off work. I rarely…

While catching up on this week’s Time Out, I came across their feature on the city’s best new burgers.

The night before Thanksgiving is usually a crazy night. Everyone comes back in town and a debauchery-filled, unofficial high school reunion ensues. While I had prepared myself for this evening, all of my friends decided not to get back in town til it was too late to go out. Don’t you worry, readers. I got…

One restaurant in Savannah has continued to elude me. For the two or so years it has been open, I have heard all my family and friends talk about Starland Cafe (with location #2 under different name in the Telfair museum).
