Dinner and a Movie: Mirko Pasta and Cine
It’s been a while since my last post, but I promise this one will make up for everything.
Last night, I went with my dear friend, Anna Sexton, for a night of merryment. We started at Mirko Pasta (the Athens east side location) for dinner, and it totally made my day.
I always get nervous [...] -
Peppino's: I almost forgot!
In the midst of my posting madness this week, I almost forgot to write about my lunch on Saturday at Peppino’s with the Arch Society.
We had to work both graduation ceremonies on Saturday, and apparently it’s tradition to venture to Pepppino’s for lunch in between the two.
In case you don’t know about Peppino’s, here’s some [...] -
Your Pie: Um, go there TODAY.
There are many pizza places in town, but I am amazed at the genius behind the concept of Your Pie. In an increasingly competitive Athens food market, these guys found a niche that I think will take them to infinity and beyond.
Please let me tell you how amazing my little lunch was at Your Pie [...] -
The Basil Press: Pictures are worth 1,000 words
I think for this post, I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
Last Sunday, Mom, Dad, Addie (my grandmother) and I asked Dr. Jones and her husband, Mr. Dr. Jones, to eat dinner with us at The Basil Press. My parents had heard how absolutely wonderful they are, and I have always raved about their involvement [...] -
Friend of the Week: Meridith Ford
While this subject doesn’t really have to do with restaurants in Athens, I thought I’d share my experience interviewing the Dining Editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Meridith Ford.
I was assigned to interview some sort of media gatekeeper for one of my classes, so with some advice (Thanks, Bryan.), I decided to interview a reporter who [...] -
Guess what I saw?
Agua Linda is on the move.
I was driving by the Atlanta Highway and Timothy Road intersection the other day, and I noticed Agua Linda is moving into a new shopping center. The location is right next to Academy Sports and in front of Loco’s.
I don’t know if they are moving locations or if they’re [...] -
La Dolce Vita is my H.E.R.O.
When I said my prayers on Monday night, I thanked the Lord for Italy.
On Monday, I went to lunch at La Dolce Vita with some special guests from my Terry ILAD class. Dr. Gauthreaux, Dr. Lankau, my friend Eric Tonn, Ryan Gembala (the co-founder of H.E.R.O. for Children) and myself soon discovered we were [...] -
Two New Bosses at Bischero
I discovered this week that the ownership at our local Bischero has had a turnaround.
Anthony and Thomas Encrapera are the new owners who officially took charge of the joint last night.
Anthony has a degree from Le Cordon Bleu, which is part of the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in Pittsburgh. He has also worked in Virginia, [...] -
I think it's a hit.
I was really excited.
The whole week I was planning to go to Mirko’s, the new Italian restaurant in Watkinsville. I had heard about their amazing food (particularly their pasta), and I wanted to try it.
Being the cautious diner, I called on Thursday night to make reservations. I told them I wanted to come [...] -
DePalma's is it.
Did you know DePalma’s has a location on the East side of town?
I have ordered take-out from there numerous times, but I think I’ve only eaten in the restaurant once. Since I live on the East side-ish, it’s pretty convenient to drive over there.
In case you don’t know where it is, here’s [...]
