People get mad when I say anything remotely critical about Savannah’s restaurant scene, which is pretty funny since I’ve probably written positively about more new restaurants here than anyone else over the last 15 years. The Savannah metro area population…
It was a long 10 months or whatever in the wilderness for us Legion refugees. I live about 5 very short blocks from Savannah’s American Legion Post 135 and I’m sort of a night owl and I don’t watch much…
My City Talk column today is about The Grey. I love it. I took a few photos with my new Fujifilm x100t when a friend and I ate there last Tuesday night.
Chipotle opened its first Savannah location on Victory Drive near Whole Foods Market in late September 2013. It looks like the second Savannah Chipotle will be opening in late September 2014. The second local store will be at 318 Mall…
There has been some pretty exciting news lately for the Savannah restaurant and dining scene. For this quick update, I’m relying heavily on embedded posts from Facebook pages and other social media. You can quickly click on through those embeds…

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been following all sorts of changes on the Savannah restaurant scene that I haven’t had occasion to write about in my City Talk columns. So, in no particular order and with minimal commentary:…
Chipotle at 1801 East Victory Drive in Victory Station is scheduled to open on Wednesday, Sept. 25. So then all of you who have been incessantly searching for the opening date can give up on Google and actually just go…
A really interesting piece by Kim Severson (excellent writer) in today’s New York Times: Paula Deen’s Cook Tells of Slights, Steeped in History. Severson obviously spent hours trying to understand the world of Dora Charles, “the queen of Deen kitchens”…
Click here for today’s City Talk column about Tequila’s Town Mexican Restaurant at 109 Whitaker Street in Savannah. In the column I mention trying the Molcajete — you can see that dish below embedded from my Instagram account. (Yes, I…
I have not read Damon Lee Fowler’s new book Savannah Chef’s Table: Extraordinary Recipes from This Historic Southern City, but I have read several pieces about it today. From Cooking, Savannah style in the Winston-Salem Journal: It may be understandable…
