History

Atlanta, GA
So why create a blog? Well, those close to me know how passionate I am about my food...eating food, to be more precise. 15 years ago I discovered the joy of dining in restaurants which boast a unique ambiance and delicious food. I first started tracking lists of great restaurants when I lived in Columbus, OH in the mid 90's. I was fortunate to dine at Cameron Mitchell's, Fifty-Five, Bravo, Rigsby's, Barcelona, and many more. I read in local newspapers about the best Places to be Seen, to Celebrate, to Impress, etc. and formulated my "to try" list. This hobby continued in Birmingham, AL and again when my travels brought me to Atlanta, GA ten years ago. I started a Supper Club with close friends in 2000, trying a new restaurant every Thursday night. We had one simple rule in the club, “no chain restaurants”! After three years of stomping through Atlanta's best and worst restaurants, we realized that this weekly tradition was becoming too expensive to maintain (go figure!). However, in 2005 I started making notes of my dining experiences for personal reference. To make it easy for my friends to get my recommendations, I thought I would try blogging. So...here goes!

4 Overall Rating - Aw Shuck's (Charleston) 07/04/10

70 State St
Charleston, SC 29401
(843) 723-1151

Dined with Rosie, George and Greg.

Ambiance: 3
This place was pretty bare bones, but clean.

Food Quality: 4
Raw oysters were small, but the quality was fine.
Their signature dish, stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon, was tasty. However, if this is the restaurant's best, it sets the tone for what you can expect from the rest of the menu. This dish had a good flavor, but it lacked a distinguishing character. Hush puppies were dense, average.

Service: 6
Had to request appetizer plates, but she was friendly and kept drinks refilled.

Price: 9
