    Dear Mr. Harris,

    I enjoy reading your excellent blog. Curious -- Have you tried Cooks & Soldiers?

    On a related note, what's with the "Blank & Blank" format for restaurant names? I've seen that all over the country and it's kinda getting on my nerves.

    I have been to Cooks & Soldiers one time and I had some delicious food!

    The "Blank & Blank" format has been linked to hipsterism (not that there's anything wrong with that). Here's a fun hipster business name generator: http://www.hipsterbusiness.name/#

    Ooh, fun. "Jackal & Knot" is the most random it came up with on my few tries.

    Enjoying your blog -- keep it up!

Trippin' to Floataway Cafe

Floataway Cafe 1123 Zonolite Road Atlanta, GA 30306 Roasted Chicken with Bread Salad Mr. Plow and I consider Floataway Cafe our special neighborhood restaurant, even though we don't really live in the neighborhood. It's close enough, though - and it always feels like a special occasion, even when we're just stopping by for a lovely weeknight meal. Over the years, we've enjoyed sharing Floataway with friends and family (always a hit), but our favorite evenings are when we've settled in at table #36 (our favorite) for a relaxing few hours of much-needed conversation and much-loved food. This week - partly in honor of the start of the new school year and partly in realization that our free time is about to be extremely limited - we ventured out to Floataway on a rainy Thursday night and, as we were welcomed inside the curtained entrance portal, we instantly felt at home. Floataway is part of the Star Provisions  group, led by James Beard award-winning At...

Trippin' to England (via Netflix)

Mr. Plow and I have taken two glorious trips to England, and the United Kingdom is always on our short list each and every time we start planning for vacation travel. Like many, we've been completely gobsmacked by the verdant splendor of the rolling hills, the comfortable snug of the pubs, and the stalwart dedication to historical preservation. We long for the Cotswolds at least once a week - and now, thanks to Netflix, we can get our weekly hit of Oxfordshire or Gloucestershire with a deft finger to the remote! If you also long for the English countryside (or if you just like architecture and houses and gardens) then you, too, might enjoy a Netflix binge of any or all of these three highly recommended and completely satisfying programmes. Escape to the Country Escape to the Country  ticks a lot of boxes - beautiful homes, bucolic settings, charming house hunters, and enough history and culture to satisfy even the most discerning Anglophile. The premise is simple: homeowners...

Film Trippin' - GIANT and THE GRAPES OF WRATH

Sickness and my continued malaise about the state of our country led me to procrastinate this week with two classic films, both fascinating in their own right, but more so when they are placed in the context of our current national situation. Giant (1956) is a sprawling epic, part melodrama and part midcentury Western. Directed by George Stevens and based on a novel by Edna Ferber, the film explores the life of wealthy rancher, Bick Benedict (Rock Hudson), his romance with the socialite Leslie Lynnton (Elizabeth Taylor), and his lifelong rivalry with Jett Rink (James Dean), a handyman who strikes it oil rich, allowing him to do opulent things like build his own hotel. Giant was a hit with both the public and the critics back in 1956, earning $12 million at the box office and garnering 10 Oscar nominations (including a win for Best Director). By today's standards, the film's soundstage-bound sets and saturated color palette lend it the aura of technicolor soap opera; the o...
