About a year ago, I had two days in Atlanta, a rental car, and a list of tips on where to find the best Brunswick stew. Here are some brief notes and photos from the trip. On to the food...

Mexican on Jefferson: Tortas Las Tortugas
Sunday, December 28 @ 20:32:19 PST by Scott | 
While continuing to work on this series during the summer, I noticed a new torteria pop up. Though not actually on Jefferson, Tortas Las Tortugas is visible from Jefferson, which is good enough for me. On to the food...

Sunday, November 23 @ 21:15:36 PST by Scott | 
One afternoon in May, when meeting Theabroma for antojitos at La Hechizera, she pointed out a "coming soon" announcement in a storefront across the street. Months went by as the interior work continued. In mid-fall, La Palapa Veracruzana opened. On to the food...

Mexican on Jefferson: La Hechizera
Sunday, August 24 @ 22:46:19 PDT by Scott | 
La Hechizera (or Tortas La Hechizera) is a small, but growing, local chain. The Jefferson location opened within the past year, months after my westward itinerary down the boulevard passed the storefront that would eventually house the restaurant. On to the food...

One Week, Dos Brisas, Three Meals (Part 3)
Tuesday, July 29 @ 19:03:15 PDT by Scott | 
For the third meal at the Inn at Dos Brisas, I returned to the "grand collection" tasting menu. Despite the proximity in time to the first meal, the kitchen was able to avoid duplicating any course between the two. On to the food...

One Week, Dos Brisas, Three Meals (Part 2)
Thursday, July 24 @ 19:51:09 PDT by Scott | 
When the hostess noticed I had entered the ranch from the service entrance in my prior visit, she gave me the address to plug into the GPS so I could come in through the front the next night. (At the end of the evening, she reminded me of the address and pointed out that it was printed on the take-home copy of the menu.) I pulled through the front gate, drove through fields and over a small creek, around a pond, and then stopped to inspect the garden. On to the food...

One Week, Dos Brisas, Three Meals (Part 1)
Monday, July 21 @ 19:49:08 PDT by Scott | 
In late January, the Mobil Travel Guide announced seventeen five-star restaurants for 2008. The list included many familiar, expected names, such as the French Laundry, per se, Alinea, Charlie Trotter's, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, Masa, et al. Patrick O'Connell's Inn at Little Washington made the cut for the eighteenth consecutive time. But, in what came as a surprise to most local food-lovers, another inn in another Washington also made the list--the Inn at Dos Brisas, in Washington, Texas. On to the food...

Mexican on Jefferson: Unnamed Taqueria Amarilla
Sunday, July 06 @ 22:04:09 PDT by Scott | 
Unnamed Taqueria Amarilla is a minor find on Jefferson. Though lacking the across-the-board excellence I dream of in a taqueria, they do some things quite well. More than a year passed between my initial visits and more recent follow-ups, and the taqueria's strengths remained constant. On to the food...
