Napoleon’s Grill is a food-focused neighborhood pub located in the Vista Grove Shopping Center in Decatur’s Oak Grove community.

My husband and I have driven by Napoleon’s countless times, so we were excited at the prospect of ordering from it during a recent DoorDash.

We did not have a bad bite! The Pimento Cheese Fritters were gooey and nicely fried, and everything goes well with red pepper jelly. My husband, a smoked wing connoisseur, enjoyed the smoky flavor of the 10-Piece Chicken Wings, which complemented the dry lemon pepper rub. My Deep South Pimento Cheese burger was well cooked and enjoyable, and the mashed potatoes had a great balance of garlic and butter (plus I love mashed potatoes with red skins). I am not a sliced tomato person, but the fried green tomato on the burger was tasty. And I had to fight my husband from stealing all of the sweet potato fries that came with the burger. They had the right touch of sweetness and were perfectly crisp.

I can’t wait to try their spinach artichoke dip, pub pot roast, and Oreo cheesecake in the near future! I hear Napoleon’s has a great patio with live music on many nights, so I look forward to mixing up in-person dining with DoorDashing in the future!

🌮El Sol Tacos Food Truck
📧[email protected]

El Sol Tacos Food Truck is an Atlanta-area truck specializing in tacos and nachos. The truck was a featured vendor at a recent work conference near Stonecrest, giving me the opportunity to give them a try. El Sol offered a limited menu of three tacos (steak or chicken), three wings, and three chicken strips.,

I ordered two carne asada tacos and one chicken taco, while a colleague ordered the wings and fries. I appreciated their customer service, asking about our tortilla (flour or corn), cilantro, and onion preferences while having a variety of accompaniments (i.e., salsa, cheese).

The tacos were solid, and I enjoyed the salsa verde. The wings are larger than I anticipated but were well cooked and had a flavorful sauce.

I would definitely stop by their food truck in the future, as I love a taco! I am also intrigued by the sweet taco seen on their IG page.

Philly Cheesesteak Place is a no-frills, counter eatery celebrating the sandwich (specializing in hoagies, cheesesteaks, & burgers). The eatery is located in Morningside’s Cheshire Pointe Shopping Center, located at the intersection of Cheshire Bridge & Faulkner Roads & MARTA-accessible via the 27 bus.

During a recent DoorDash, my husband was craving a cheesesteak. He ordered the regular Cheese Chicken Cheesesteak w/ chicken, grilled onions, & cheese. I ordered a small Meatball Parmesan Sandwich w/ meatballs, pizza sauce, provolone, & parmesan cheese & add-ins of pepperoni & sweet peppers. Both sandwiches were super craveable, had ample amounts of protein & cheese, &were well seasoned.

I was really curious about other menu items, so I visited the eatery a week later to order a cheeseburger, chicken tenders, & fries. I knew the cheeseburger would be tasty once I saw the owner/cook chopping up ribeye on a flat-top in an eatery whose minimalist decor took a page from a prior decade. The food is cooked to order, and the owner wears all of the hats (cashier, cook, and expediter), so prepare to wait (it's worth it)! There is seating available; however, the restaurant does way more to-go orders.

After eating one of the better cheeseburgers I have had in Atlanta, I brought the chicken tenders home to my husband, who had just received a food delivery. After having one bite, my husband abandoned his original meal & devoured the chicken tenders. The fries were well seasoned, but I will ask the owner to make them crispier on my next visit.

One of my friends recently purchased a home in the Playa Xcalacoco neighborhood, just north of downtown Playa del Carmen. After a lovely stay at , I extended my stay to hang with them. When traveling, I make a point to start my mornings at local coffee shops, and Ki Delicafe was within walking distance (and highly recommended by my friends).

Ki’i is a women-owned coffee and tea shop in Playa del Carmen serving artisanal sandwiches, salads, pastries, cakes, and juices. Ki’i features locally sourced products and ingredients, including bread from Campanis.

Ki’i has a cozy, inviting feel with plenty of natural light. Customer service is great, and owners Dani and Erica treat you like family. Limited seating is available inside the store.

I ordered a cortado, cinnamon roll, and blueberry muffin. The cortado was tasty, but the highlight of the visit was the cinnamon roll. The roll melts in your mouth and has the perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar.

I look forward to coming back for lunch, as their sandwiches and salads sounded incredible. I’m also secretly hoping the empanadas make a comeback by my next visit!

I was attending a work conference in San Antonio. My colleagues and I attended two vendor functions, both held at , before heading to dinner at .

Prost is a Bavarian restaurant and bar housed in a mid-19th century rock building located on the Riverwalk between La Villita and the Hilton Palacio del Rio.

The interior architecture is a charming throwback to bars past. Prost is also host to an amazing outdoor terrace patio bar overlooking the Riverwalk. The patio features a nightly lineup of local bands and DJs and giant Texas-sized Jenga blocks and other games. If that wasn’t enough fun, the Prost also houses the Alchemy Lounge, a speakeasy-style space featuring innovative cocktails.

Function guests were treated to a catered variety of Prost starters and Happy Hour specials, including Prost Wings, Deviled Eggs, Prost Chili Cheese Fries, Reuben Egg Rolls, Fried Pickles, Mozzarella Sticks, Fried Mushrooms, and Onion Rings.

We also ordered a round (or two) of margaritas. The beverages were solid, but definitely on the strong side.

Service was on the slow side; however, there were two large vendor functions and other patrons, so the bar was understandably slammed.

I look forward to visiting on a less busy evening in San Antonio to fully soak up the patio vibes.

I was attending a work conference in San Antonio. My colleagues and I were hungry after attending a vendor function, and Boudro's Texas Bistro came highly recommended.

Places located within tourist zones tend to be overrated and overpriced. Boudro’s Texas Bistro is not such a place. Boudro’s has been serving an elevated fusion of Southwest and New American cuisines on San Antonio’s Riverwalk since 1986. Boudro’s sources its herbs, produce, and proteins locally whenever possible.

Boudro's vibe is all about the Riverwalk views. There are a variety of dining options, whether inside, on their patio along the Riverwalk, or on one of their private river barges. Boudro’s event spaces can accommodate up to nearly 60 guests. Reservations are recommended for dinner.

I ordered:
Chile-Fried Gulf Oysters served on yucca chips with Serrano honey aioli, pineapple pico de gallo, and greens
Blackened Prime Rib with Boudreaux butter, rosemary potatoes, and roasted vegetables.

Both items were so delicious. The oysters were fried perfectly, and I loved the crispy salty chips with the pico de gallo. The Prime Rib was so flavorful and tender. And I finally understand the hype surrounding butter and steaks. I was so glad my hotel room (Element San Antonio Riverwalk) had a refrigerator and microwave as it was gone by mid-morning.

I was in San Antonio attending a work conference at the Convention Center. I always make a point to start my mornings at local coffee shops when out of town. is located in the Savoy building in downtown San Antonio.

Founded in Austin, Royal Blue Grocery is a modern urban grocery whose offerings are responsive to the community it serves. It features and in its coffee bar/deli and locally sourced, unique grocery, convenience, and gourmet grab-and-go products. Its hot sandwiches are freshly prepared, and the San Antonio store has an impressive wine selection.

Royal Blue Grocery is not your typical bodega and has a cozy, inviting feel with plenty of natural light. Limited seating is available both inside and outside the store, but all seats are great for people-watching. Customer service is very solid and definitely more coffee shop-like than corner store.

The coffee was great, and I plan to try their prepared items during my next trip to San Antonio.

What started as a joke between friends Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson & Tres Shannon two decades ago to achieve “world doughnut domination” led to an acclaimed doughnut franchise spawning 19 locations in 7 states. Voodoo Doughnut is about breaking barriers, both in doughnut offerings & community building.

I was in San Antonio for a work conference. Disappointed that I had missed visiting a shop in Portland earlier in the year, I was excited for the second chance to experience a Voodoo Doughnut.

The Downtown San Antonio bakery is a sea of pink & as eclectic as you would envision a Portland-based chain. Where else would a Longhorn & Baron Samedi (who leads Mardi Gras parades) be eyeing a giant crystal chandelier?

The staff is friendly & knowledgeable about the different offerings. There is sufficient indoor & outdoor seating for those who can’t wait to take a bite. The outdoor seating allows for good people-watching.

I ordered the glazed raised, limited edition Go-Tart (think Pop-Tart), & the Chuckles (peanuts and caramel and chocolate). It took everything in me not to order the Bacon Maple Bar (I still regret the decision).

Voodoo Doughnut is for the unapologetic sweet-tooth members of society. With that said, I really enjoyed all three. I was surprised to enjoy the Go-Tart as much as I did (since I am not a fan of Pop-Tarts). Their coffee is also really good.

Are these the best doughnuts in America? No. But they are definitely one of the best doughnut franchises, & I will not miss the opportunity to try them whenever I am a quick car ride from a bakery.

is a locally owned neighborhood wine bar in northwest San Antonio. Owners Khalilah and Chris Douglas created a hidden gem that fosters a sense of community and celebrates women winemakers, family-owned wineries, and minority-owned winemakers. In addition to wine, Wine 210 offers charcuterie items, desserts, wine flights, sangria, and margaritas.

I was in San Antonio for a work conference. One of my colleagues, a fellow foodie, invited us to visit his friend’s wine bar.

Wine 210 has a warm, cozy vibe despite being in the midst of a seemingly common shopping center. There are a variety of seating options available, from a sleek bar to tables for group seating. The lighting and R&B music are perfect for talking with friends or making new ones. Customer service was solid. We also enjoyed talking with Kahlilah and another industry veteran about the oenophile journeys.

We ordered:
The Douglas (charcuterie) Board
Red Pepper Hummus and Pita Bread
White Sangria
Red Sangria
Sip Me Baby, One More Time (Red Bodied Wine Flight)

I would not recommend visiting Wine 210 on an empty stomach. The food selection is limited and meant for nibbling while you sip on a glass of wine. However, the wine flight was well-balanced and full-bodied, and we thoroughly enjoyed our harmonious, flavorful sangrias.

Brito Supermarket #2 is a small, unassuming supermarket that serves the best pollo asado (grilled chicken) in Atlanta, as well as costillas (ribs) and chicharrónes. It is on the corner of Curtis Dr. and Buford Highway in Brookhaven. There are other locations in Marietta and on Chamblee Tucker Road (Embry Hills area).

The smokers led me to pull into the driveway one day years ago out of sheer curiosity. Now that I work and live close, I am probably at Brito on a monthly basis.
My friends often ask me to bring pollo asado and the fixings for potluck dinners. I usually pick up onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and homemade tortillas before heading to the register (I love a one-stop shop).

Especially for its diminutive size, Brito has a well-stocked meat counter, fresh produce, fresh tortillas, and Latino specialty pantry items and sweets. Upon walking in, head past the cashier and take a right to find the meat counter.

The pollo asado is expertly seasoned, juicy, and smoked to perfection. There are a few picnic tables if, like me, you can’t resist tearing open the Saran-wrapped container (I usually have to sample it in my car).

But the ribs are also really good. I love the smoky flavor and tenderness of the ribs. You know you are experiencing tasty ribs when you do not miss barbeque sauce. Homemade salsa verde and rojo accompany both meats (warning: both salsas are kicking).

Don’t forget to pick up tasty fresh chicharrónes. The pork rind variety is more regularly available than the ones with the pork belly.
