BowTie Barbecue
I was devastated when Johnny Harris closed. That restaurant was an institution. My grandparents went on dates there as teenagers and I have the bbq sauce shipped to me in NYC because I can’t live without it. But as one smokehouse door closes, a window opens. What started as a small batch sauce out of … Continue reading
Blends Coffee
In a town like Savannah, where everything has been the same for years, it’s easy to spot when something new opens up. It took us all of two seconds to notice Blends, the new coffee shop towards the end of East Broughton Street. It’s nice to have something – particularly a coffee shop for chilling in … Continue reading
Loc’s Chicken and Waffles
If you live near Sandfly and are looking for a legit breakfast, Loc’s is where it’s at. Honestly, I would eat there even if it wasn’t in my own neighborhood because I would say it might be the best diner in Savannah. Obviously, you could get the waffles and my 20-month-old nephew, Brooks, will certainly … Continue reading
Flying Monk
Flying Monk (not The Flying Monkey, as I have been referring to it for the last year) is packed every time I pass by while strolling Broughton Street when I’m home. Ramen is the hot thing in NYC, but this restaurant serves noodle soups from all across Asia. Perhaps that makes it less authentic; it does … Continue reading
The Howlin Hound
My father did not decide to eat at The Howlin Hound for lunch because it was close to his office. He didn’t choose to eat there because the food it good. He didn’t pick this place because he wanted to show me a high school friend’s new business venture. Nope, when I was home he … Continue reading
Okko
I am generally wary of Asian restaurants that have food from all around the continent. They might be in the same general area of the world, but Japan and Thailand or two very different countries that highlight very different flavors in their cooking. Beyond the prevalence of rice, these are totally different cuisines, people. Despite … Continue reading
The Grey
By far the coolest thing about The Grey, Savannah’s hottest new restaurant, is hearing about its history from the people who lived it. The restaurant is inside a converted Greyhound bus terminal, which the owner has modernized while maintaining the glitz of its original art deco touches. As soon as we sat down, my father began pointing … Continue reading
Collins Quarter
I am only just realizing I never provided my write-up of Collins Quarter, which I tried out way back over Thanksgiving. I think that’s because I was torn. I thought the food was very good and the decor was great, but the service was pretty bad. The food: Collin’s Quarter capitalizes on the avocado toast … Continue reading
Cohen’s Retreat
My father does NOT like to eat the same thing two times in a row. He is decidedly anti leftovers. So I was surprised when he wanted to take me to lunch at Cohen’s Retreat my first day home when he had just had supper there two nights before. If he is not only willing … Continue reading
