A couple of friends and I went to Ecco over on Cypress St for the first time last night and spent entirely too much money, but I was impressed by everything we got. Their charcuterie is excellent.

mindphlux posted:yeah, I have really mixed opinions about woodfire grill. I went once and some of the food was a revelation, but I went again and was just like 'eh' - tasting menu both times. I think I'd pay like 60 bucks for a tasting menu at his place, but 90-125 is too much, food doesn't warrant it. also ala carte is overpriced. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is that every place that opens gets compared to Bacchanalia and just isn't as good. I don't mean to sound fanboyish, but they have literally the best food I have ever put in my mouth.

We're hitting up Rosa Mexicano tonight after a friend recommended it, largely because when he went last year on Valentine's it wasn't crowded and my girlfriend doesn't like loud/packed places.

If you guys haven't been to Waikikie Hawaiian BBQ yet, you are missing out. On top of having awesome food, their shave ice is great, and they have Kona Pipeline Porter on draft.

godzirraRAWR posted:Does anyone know of a good place in or near atlanta that sells pork belly? I've been getting mine from weinerz on atlanta rd, and while amazing its pricey and they take like 4 weeks to fill my order. I'm tempted to try one of the random mexican or Asian markets, but i'm a little wary due to some of the reviews. Online+delivery would be pimp as well. I found 3 lbs. slabs at Your Dekalb Farmer's Market for a very reasonable price.

Josh Lyman posted:I went then and was also unimpressed. As far as that style of burger goes, I've yet to find anything that compares to Vortex, though I also enjoy my Five Guys. Am I the only person on Earth that can't stand Five Guys? Everyone seems to love them for fast food burgers, but I hate that they always cook their patties well done. Well done is the worst. VVV that's a fair point, I guess. All fast food burgers are horrible. FLEXBONER fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Aug 2, 2012 |

venutolo posted:In my opinion Crazy Cuban kind of stinks and their sandwiches are not much like Kool Korner's. If I just want a sandwich I'd go to Papi's, Havana, or Little Cuba. Crazy Cuban is ok, but that's only because they are within walking distance of my work and they're relatively cheap compared to everything else in walking distance.

AgentHaiTo posted:We ate at Gio's Chicken the other night. It was just ok. We got the Diablo Chicken and it was roast chicken cooked with those spicy red peppers in olive oil that they put out on the tables at Antico. Tasted good, but was really oily and messy to eat. Also, got the pasta with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and olive oil. It was ok, but nothing special. Everything comes with a salad that has an olive oil dressing too, so I had just finished that and the entrees came out with all oil too was a bit much, but maybe that was just our error in ordering the same items. The Scarpiello is the best value on the menu because it comes with sausage as well as chicken, and it also very tasty - it's basically just the toppings on the Antico San Genaro pizza + chicken. I like Gio's/Anitco quite a bit, but that's mostly because I live across the street so it's super convenient.

Landrobot posted:For Chinese, I really like Chef Liu's off Buford Hwy. My Chinese friend introduced me to the place recently. The place is a mixed bag full of hipsters and Chinese patrons, but the food IS authentic and really good. I have spent time in China and can verify this. Service is a little wonky, but it's cheap as hell, and everything is made in-house. Chef Liu rocks - they have my favorite dumplings in Atlanta. I always have to be careful not to order too much food when I go because they give you big portions for your money.

Landrobot posted:There's like 50+ employees, so it really depends on who makes it. But yeah, it can be a bit watered down sometimes. Drop a spoonful of mango pickle in the daal and you'll be in heaven. That's really what's made for, to add flavor or kick to a bland dish. The pickle brand, I can't remember off the top of my head, but it's for sale up in the front retail area. I would be down for that.

Ate brunch at the One-Eared Stag this weekend. Got the Chef's Breakfast and enjoyed everything, but especially the scrambled eggs with salmon roe. Will definitely be going back in the future. Also had dinner at Bocado and everything we tried was great, but what stood out to me was the cocktails. I live within walking distance so I'm ashamed I haven't been drinking there more often.
