Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
The only thing that made my meal at Butcher Bar brunchy was the endless mimosas I drank. Sure, there are some good bbq + eggs dishes on the menu, but when you’re eating at 2 PM, it’s time to admit that you’ve given up on the breakfast wagon. 2 PM is not too late, however,…

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…

Yesterday was drizzly and blah so Albert and I decided to go on a Sunday adventure, which really just means trying a new restaurant in a different neighborhood instead of going to an old standby. We wound up at Sweet Chick because I suddenly remembered they were famous for chicken and waffles and I could think…

The morning after a wedding you want greasy food and you want it immediately. We didn’t have to walk far from our hotel to find Warehouse Grille, which satisfied our need for food and also our need for a little hair of the dog thanks to their $10 bottomless brunch deal. The menu at Warehouse…

We both ordered the fried chicken platter (only $11.50), which comes with three pieces of chicken, a biscuit, and…

Last week I went to my first ever SummerStage concert. SummerStage is a concert series in Central Park that provides both free and not free music throughout the summer. Concerts are always a good time but my mind was blown when I saw they had food and beer stalls. Lo and behold! Food and beer…

A new restaurant recently opened in Savannah which means I had to check it out on my first night back at home. I had no doubt it would be good because Ampersand is the latest venture from Brian Torres, the man behind Form and Form II Table (check those out on your next Savannah trip…

You know it’s fine dining when you don’t even get a normal menu so I had a feeling I was in for a treat when we were handed a 4-course tasting menu at McCrady’s. At $65 per person, it’s an indulgence, but we were on vacay so…what the hey! The entrance to the landmarked tavern…
