In Japan, restaurants serve one style of food. There are sushi restaurants of course but also restaurants for ramen, tempura, soba, izakaya…you get the idea. In the U.S., it’s a bit different although I notice that most Japanese restaurants stick to one or two things as their main focus even if they have other dishes. Sushi Mito is different in that it has a huge menu filled with all types of Japanese delights.

It’s been a delightfully chilly winter in Atlanta this year and we’ve enjoyed getting outside to take full advantage of the brisk air. We like to find new parks (for us) and playgrounds (for Harrison). We recently discovered McDaniel Farm Park in Duluth and have loved going there on weekends.

This is my third year doing a post about my best eats of the year and while it’s nowhere near as exotic as that first year (India, Japan, Cuba, Miami….), I’ve had plenty of intra-country travel and wonderful Atlanta dining experiences to write about for 2019. Vegetarian, Thai, Venezuelan, Japanese…it’s been a delicious year. Having a baby has not meant I have to give up one of my favorite hobbies and I’m both thankful and proud.  Continue reading →

Sean and I had a wonderful dinner and date night earlier this fall at Redbird, Zeb Stevenson’s new restaurant on the Westside in the old Bacchanalia space. We sat the kitchen bar and had a nice view of the entire restaurant and the flurry of cooking and plating activity.  Continue reading →
