Really? I wasn’t going to post anything, but I had a pretty disappointing burger at no246 last week. I haven’t been to Mac McGee’s (but will try it out now) but I think farm burger beats no246 hands down in the burger dept. The toast with sweet potatoes and chestnuts was amazing, though!

Thanks for putting up the Amendment #1 (aka the Charter Amendment) info DM. I hope folks understand that voting yes will hurt CSD and public schools around the state, and I encourage everybody to come out on the 15th at 6:30 to learn more at Westchester. CSD will have speakers for and against the amendment.

I actually prefer the food at both Mac Magees and Brick Store to Leon’s. That said, I do not think the food at Mac Magees “merits a drive,” which I assume means more than a short one. I do think the cocktails at Leon’s merit a drive, however, if you care about that sort of thing.

My no helmet wearing ways are vindicated! Yes, I will still put one on my daughter in her bike trailer…

Second the admiration for Mac McGee’s. Their food is really excellent. Now that Watershed has decamped from Decatur, my pick for best burger in town is at no246. Unfortunately, it is only on the lunch menu.

Which headline does the picture go with? The Flawed Stanford Organic Food Study?

You have to completely ignore the stars awarded. The AJC apparently switched to a new system a while back where all restaurants, from bars to Bacchanalia, are ranked according to the same standards. It’s pretty stupid. That said, the review would still seem to merit 3 stars under the guidelines listed (“merits a drive if you’re looking for this kind of thing”)

I’m with you on Mac McGee vs. Leon’s, heresy or not. But as long as enough folks recognize this to keep them in business, I’m OK with all the wannabe hipsters and trendy folks looking down on us while they wait an hour and a half for their peanut butter and bacon
