One thing seems certain, though. The event isn’t keeping people from dining in the neighborhood’s restaurants. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2009/01/07/more-on-the-standard-murder/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2009/01/07/more-on-the-standard-murder/#comments Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:33:23 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/?p=3337 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2009/01/07/more-on-the-standard-murder/feed/ 7 WGLC-TV has posted a photograph of John Henderson on its website. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2009/01/07/more-news-that-totally-sucks/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2009/01/07/more-news-that-totally-sucks/#comments Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:18:15 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/?p=3325 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2009/01/07/more-news-that-totally-sucks/feed/ 1 John Henderson, 27, was shot and killed while at work at the Standard in Grant Park late last night. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/08/01/an-unpleasant-experiment/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/08/01/an-unpleasant-experiment/#comments Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:13:10 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/08/01/an-unpleasant-experiment/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/08/01/an-unpleasant-experiment/feed/ 15 Here’s yesterday’s lunch — bean sprouts wrapped in tofu skin from the Green Sprout. I’ve written about this dish before and it looks much better not compressed into a take-out container. Why am I eating this? Wayne and I decided to experiment with not eating meat for a week. Part of the experiment is to keep [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/24/random-news/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/24/random-news/#comments Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:06:49 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/24/random-news/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/24/random-news/feed/ 0 Don’t forget: This is Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week. All week, through July 27, you can have a three-course meal for $25 in some good restaurants (including Spoon, Cafe Circa and French American Brasserie). The event coincides with the National Black Arts Festival, so you should definitely make reservations before heading out. For full details, go [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/06/12/random-notes-death-to-microbes/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/06/12/random-notes-death-to-microbes/#comments Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:14:52 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/06/12/random-notes-death-to-microbes/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/06/12/random-notes-death-to-microbes/feed/ 0 I noticed that a “Japanese gastro-pub,” Miso, is opening on Edgewood Ave., not far from Krog Street. (I don’t think Miso is the full name. When I stopped to gawk, rush-hour commuters began honking like hell at me.)… The Standard continues its Wednesday night special of Korean barbecue. This week’s plate featured especially good thin-sliced beef, [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/15/checking-out-the-korean-cue/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/15/checking-out-the-korean-cue/#comments Thu, 15 May 2008 21:51:33 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/15/checking-out-the-korean-cue/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/15/checking-out-the-korean-cue/feed/ 2 As I reported earlier this week, The Standard on Memorial Drive is now offering Korean barbecue on Wednesday nights. We gave it a try last night. Honestly, I can’t say it’s as impressive as the Indian specials on Monday nights, but we enjoyed ourselves. About $10 buys two thick slices of tastily sauced pork placed on [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/12/korean-barbecue-in-grant-park-two-newbies/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/12/korean-barbecue-in-grant-park-two-newbies/#comments Mon, 12 May 2008 19:54:50 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/12/korean-barbecue-in-grant-park-two-newbies/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/12/korean-barbecue-in-grant-park-two-newbies/feed/ 5 Here’s a tip for this Wednesday night. Head to the Standard (327 Memorial Drive, 404-681-3344) for Korean barbecue. I haven’t tasted it yet, but I know the owner is kind of a barbecue freak; other varieties he’s cooked in a smoker on the premises have been very good. The Korean ‘cue will be available every [...]
