I am not normally a sandwich person and am usually dissatisfied with the standard Subway style sandwiches you get from most places. Even worse are the cold cuts on sliced bread places which basically charge you for something you could easily make at home. Also, since food is something I enjoy, there is just something …

Yes, among all the other festivities that will take place on the weekend of October 21st through the 23rd, there will be plenty of authentic Greek cuisine available at …

All too often, food reviews gush over small details about a place that mean little to most patrons. For me, I look for places in which I can feel comfortable, enjoy the food, get a good value and can bring my kids to enjoy the meal with my wife and me. Allen’s Stone Baked Pizzeria …

A good quiche is hard to find in Macon. I’ve been to just about every restaurant in town at least once and I can only think of one that serves it, although I suspect others may. Perhaps it is because the one I can think of is so memorable. Eggs are one of the most …

For me, Indian and Pakistani cuisines are very likely my favorite, with some intense competition from Thai and Jamaican. The theme here is that all of them are heavy with extremely intense flavors and often mouth burning heat. There are a number of good quality Indian restaurants in the Middle Georgia region, I have never …

When it comes to sandwiches, I prefer classic deli varieties with well seasoned meats and flavorful breads over a simple ham and cheese or a turkey sandwich. One of my favorites is the Reuben. To some the thought of corned beef, rye, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and remoulade sauce (in the Lanier’s variety) might not sound appetizing, but it …
Chicken livers are an acquired taste, but to anyone who appreciates the more advanced Southern comfort foods, they are a delight. The problem is that in Macon, the few places that serve them tend to overcook them so much that they end up resembling charcoal briquettes or lava rocks, depending on your preference for outdoor grilling. When …

Some say that pizza is pizza and from one standpoint that is truism. Pizza is almost universally satisfying whether it is served hot out of the furnace of a brick oven, cold from a box from the previous night, gourmet from a pizza kitchen or frozen from Tony’s. But, it really isn’t true in the sense …

Polly’s La Mesa is claimed by some to be the first Mexican restaurant in Macon. We were not able to confirm that, but since it opened in the 70’s, it is definitely the oldest. It has also been owned by members of the same family since it debuted. Located at 3439 Pio Nono Ave., a mile south of …
