About

Hey Dave,

It’s Amy from dinner on Friday night… thought I’d check out your blog before I forgot the URL. Very entertaining stuff… obviously near and dear to my tummy since I’ve spent the better part of a year traveling through SE Asia. I’ll have to figure out how to get an RSS feed on this thing- which I’ve never done before, but I’m sure isn’t hard. Funny that you have a Minorcan background… my mom’s family is mostly Minorcan- they were some of the original settlers of St. Augustine, and kept the bloodline reasonably “pure”, with a little French mixed in. When they hear the word “Minorcan,” most people think I’m talking about some sort of a wind instrument. In any event, it was interesting talking with you on Friday- it’s always tough being on the end of a dinner party, so it was good to have someone entertaining to pass the time!

Yes I have – there is a lot of good Korean on Buford Highway. I think I just burned out a bit before I started the blog. Cho Sun Ok has always been one of my favorites. Need to visit some more soon.

I’ve written about Chef Liu’s – (http://eatbufordhighway.wordpress.com/2008/01/04/chef-liu-handwork-manufacturing-never-again/) – consistently disappointed unfortunately…

Hi, I’m the chick who writes Fried Chicken Blues http://americanchai.livejournal.com/4957.html. Please feel free to link! I’m not super active but I haven’t been going out to eat a heckuva lot lately. I mainly have been going to Buford Hwy Farmers Market, grabbing what I can and trying to get out of there with all of my limbs intact. Best to go before churches let out on Sunday morning! I will check out all of your blog entries because obviously we have a lot in common except I’m not Minorcan. Very cool.

I’ve tried the big pizza/fried chicken chain in Johns Creek. Really more crave-able on an intellectual level than a taste level but insanely good, nonetheless.

Hey Dave,

Great looking site. It will take me a awhile to explore it all. Kudos for following your passion. It’s very inspirational to me. Possibly I’ll have a spicy foods blog one day.

Hi, thanks for the comments. I just drove by the Crawfish Shack a few days ago. I was a little confused by the Vietnamese crawfish trend I’ve seen lately until a friend reminded me of the concentration of Vietnamese immigrants along the coast, especially in Louisiana. There is another Viet place selling crawfish in the food court at Hong Kong Market on Jimmy Carter. In fact, the newly opened Pinoy vendor (yay) there had all you can eat for $7.99. I’m not a crawfish fan, but I’m thinking of heading up there this weekend for Filipino food.

BTW, If you use Twitter, follow Dinnerbell. I don’t post often, but if we get enough people following we may end up with a good ad-hoc group to share recommendations, gather for dinner, etc.

Indeed – hooked as well. The Margherita is wonderful. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and what a wonderfully kind gesture as well!

I’m embarrassed about my cranky mood, I guess I had too many run-ins with other cranks this week… Have a fantastic Xmas and be sure to join us at the next Food Blogger/Food Fan Eat Up (I’ll post it on the site and on Twitter). I’m planning one in January – wonder if Antico might be willing to hold a table for a group…

Actually, I don’t know of a Tibetan restaurant in Atlanta (but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one). I would be all over some good dumplings – if you do happen to find one, let me know – I’d love to check it out!

The Drepung Loseling Monastery on Dresden in Brookhaven may be able to give you a tip on where to find momo-cha.

Hi Dave,

I’m Shaun Chavis, a blogger in Birmingham. I’m organizing a blogging conference called Food Blog South, being held here in Birmingham in January 2011. We’ve got some great speakers & workshops in the works. I’d like to send you a personal invitation. If you’d like more info, would you send me an email at shaun dot chavis at gmail?

Kind regards,

Shaun Chavis
