This week in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jon Watson visits McKinnon's Louisiane. More of a tribute than a review, the piece praises the customer service of the restaurant and highlights the fact that little has changed since Billy McKinnon opened its doors forty years ago. It's the kind of place with truly regular regulars— especially on Wednesday Cabernet nights— and Watson says that it's "a time capsule of old-school Atlanta dining, with a feel that couldn't be recreated if you tried." He also says that there's "an authentic sense of community at McKinnon's that can only develop organically, through years of a shared experience. And that is something Atlanta restaurants could use more of these days."

THE ELSEWHERE AND THE BLOGS: Creative Loafing reviews Waffold with a bonus history lesson on the Belgian waffle; CL also gives readers a first look at F&B, tries more than just sliders at the Shed, and gets excited about the presence— but not necessarily the preparation— of gizzards at Harold's; Eat It, Atlanta reviews Taqueria del Sol and Bone Lick BBQ and likes one more than the other; Crush Crave has Sunday brunch at Milton's; Insatiable Hope tried the fried chicken at Sun in my Belly; and John Kessler calls the bar burger at Watershed "the iPad of burgers."
