Milledgeville’s Kai Thai restaurant, which is off U.S. 441 in the Wal-Mart shopping center and offers both dine-in and takeout, is bringing some of Thailand’s favorites across the world for your pleasure. http://www.macon.com/132/story/766609.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/766609.html Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:33 EDT There’s one thing that’s a deal breaker for me as far as restaurants go in the summertime. http://www.macon.com/132/story/759164.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/759164.html Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:23 EDT What is it about a tea room that seems so charming? http://www.macon.com/132/story/751628.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/751628.html Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:22 EDT I’m still on a quest for authentic Chinese cuisine. I mentioned that in this space many moons ago, but fortunately, between you and me, I’ll soon be able to experience just that when I finally visit China this fall. I can hardly wait! http://www.macon.com/132/story/744832.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/744832.html Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:45 EDT What am I doing at this restaurant on Ga. 96 off Interstate 75? It’s called Creekside Catfish. Plates of catfish are piled on tables. Catfish bones are scattered across my table. http://www.macon.com/132/story/736702.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/736702.html Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:29 EDT The first thing you notice about Mandarin Express is the decor. There are no gilded plastic pagodas, no Great Wall on the wall, no dragons, no lanterns, no Buddhas. Stylish white lighting fixtures hang before bright red-orange and lime walls, on which are hung block prints of Scandinavian-looking designs. This is not your usual fast-food Chinese. http://www.macon.com/132/story/728993.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/728993.html Thu, 28 May 2009 11:35 EDT When I first glanced at the jerk chicken I ordered from Glyn’s Caribbean & American Restaurant, it resembled very tender pieces of pork rib meat. http://www.macon.com/132/story/722528.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/722528.html Wed, 20 May 2009 19:27 EDT After three trips to the Nowhere Café, I’m not sure how to describe it. http://www.macon.com/132/story/714992.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/714992.html Wed, 13 May 2009 19:48 EDT MILLEDGEVILLE — Nothing is more Southern than fried chicken and sweet tea. For many of us born and raised in the South, this is a right of passage, so if you’re in the mood to get down to your true Southern grit, stop by Grits in Milledgeville for some cooking that puts even grandma’s recipes to the test. http://www.macon.com/132/story/707239.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/707239.html Thu, 07 May 2009 22:40 EDT Here’s your summer assignment: Head to the unassuming Indian restaurant Umiya Chaat House and try some foods you’ve never tried before. It’s not necessarily the best Indian food in town, but at these prices, if you don’t like what you ordered, just try something else. http://www.macon.com/132/story/700584.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/700584.html Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:46 EDT Creamy grits, crispy bacon, cheesy eggs, flaky biscuits, gooey grilled pimento cheese sandwiches — my mouth waters just thinking about Macon's new brunch spot, J. Christopher's. http://www.macon.com/132/story/692604.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/692604.html Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:47 EDT I think I must have been Greek in a past life. http://www.macon.com/132/story/685144.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/685144.html Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:08 EDT With an authentic wood-fired oven shipped from Italy and high-reaching, brick interior walls, Deano’s Italian Grille and Brick Oven Pizza has an Old World ambiance that’s both casual and classy. http://www.macon.com/132/story/678094.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/678094.html Fri, 10 Apr 2009 07:24 EDT It was the biggest thing I’d ever seen on a plate. http://www.macon.com/132/story/670291.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/670291.html Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:03 EDT Here’s how I judge if a locally-owned pizza place is gonna be great or not: Something as simple as the garlic bread has to taste fantastic. Any accompanying marinara sauce has to have that ‘wow’ factor, and if they add cheese to it, then I’m one happy girl. http://www.macon.com/132/story/661852.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/661852.html Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:24 EDT It is probably best to deal with the big issue right at the top. http://www.macon.com/132/story/655420.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/655420.html Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:27 EDT One can’t talk about Captain Jack’s Crab Shack & Billiards without mentioning not only the seafood, but also the pool tables and alcohol. http://www.macon.com/132/story/646790.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/646790.html Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:35 EDT Hardly a day goes by that I don’t have a cup of coffee. Or three. http://www.macon.com/132/story/640553.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/640553.html Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:56 EST Just off Mercer University Drive, between the mall and Interstate 475, there’s a strip of stores that includes a gas station and a bar. It also includes a tiny place called Pho Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant that obviously concerns itself with doing food well. http://www.macon.com/132/story/632802.html http://www.macon.com/132/story/632802.html Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:20 EST In college, I volunteered as a peer tutor, helping other students with class work.
