I like West Egg, although I have to admit the food has been hit or miss depending on who is working in the back. I miss you, Chicken n' Dumplins Pot Pie.venutolo posted:Bone Lick BBQ (from the P'cheen people) is scheduled to open this coming week (if I recall correctly) on the Westside on Huff. I've heard and read good things about the BBQ nights at P'cheen, so I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I had Bone Lick BBQ today for lunch, they opened up today. Not sure what to make it so far, just that the BBQ sandwich and mac n' cheese left my mouth burning. Quite spicy. Definitely will be going back, especially when they have beer.

venutolo posted:I ate dinner there today. I thought it was good, but not exactly what I want in terms of BBQ. I'm not exactly sure how to describe my experience, but I kind of felt it was too refined for BBQ. Was it just me, or was the sandwiches packed with jalapeņos? I was burning up after the mac n' cheese and sandwich. I also felt there was way too much of the cole slaw on top (and under) of the meat. Sneaky sneaky.

WaterIsPoison posted:No, it's really just that people were pretty inconsiderate when walking around, leaving their carts in the middle of aisles, cutting in front of others, etc. I guess some lady bumped into her in the bathroom and yelled at her for some reason. It was very crowded and I think it just flustered her. I didn't really have a problem besides being mildly annoyed that carts were blocking of a majority of the produce section. That's my feeling on the place - its busy. If you're used to going to Publix in Roswell or Alpharetta, the Farmers Market is going to be a major change in pace. Plus, it gets downright hectic on weekends. Not good if you want to browse.

Omerta posted:I've gone there three times already. IT OWNS IT OWNS IT OWNS. I can't recommend it enough. The cocktails were very reasonable and very good. I had the bourbon sour; the foam from the egg white was the right consistency and I liked the added chili powder to balance out the sweet/sour flavor in a normal sour. This is fantastic. I have a friend who actually just got a job there, so now I've got more reasons to stop by and check it out. Sounds like the place gets pretty crazy though on weekend nights.

venutolo posted:I visited BoccaLupo for the first time and really liked it. I typically don't eat at Italian restaurants because I find that they're mostly either inexpensive and mediocre or expensive and good, but stuffy and too upscale for my tastes. BoccaLupo is sort of in the middle. I thought the prices were moderate and the food was really good. What'd you get? Their lasagna is pretty drat good.

Landrobot posted:We went to Alfredo's tonight on Cheshire Bridge rd. This was our first time, and oh boy, did it deliver! It's not foodie-food, but who cares, they have a giant greek Acropolis style fish aquarium, old dudes serving all the tables, and the highest butter fat content meal I've had this decade. Highly recommended for a change of pace! I've had Alfredo's once and was extremely underwhelmed by pretty much everything I tried. It tasted like the Cracker Barrel of Italian food in Atlanta. Why can't I stop thinking about Bocca Lupo

Croatoan posted:Oh and FYI for those of you who live up the 75/575 area you should check out the Century House Tavern. The Main Wife and I went there and were pleasantly surprised. The menu is really seasonal so if you get your butts up there in the next week or so you can still get some morels. Downtown Woodstock is really making strides in countering the OTP suburban wasteland. I grew up there, so it's great to see that area explode into what it is today.

Called Craft Izakaya, the restaurant opening in highly anticipated Krog Street Market will "feature a full bar with a crafted cocktail menu." Chef Jey Oh has also "talked about elevating his sushi offerings a bit, with more prepared dishes with developed presentations and interesting combinations."

 quote:Craft Izakaya, which softly opened over the weekend at Krog Street Market with friends and family events, will open to the public tonight. The lively Japanese-style bar and restaurant is a spin-off of Sushi Huku in Sandy Springs. Look for a full sushi bar and a yakitori menu with skewered meats, seafood and veggies cooked on a charcoal grill imported from Japan. Bar manager Nate Shuman, recently of Proof & Provision, created the beverage program featuring sake, shochu, craft beer and cocktails. 99 Krog St., Suite X, Atlanta. 470-355-9556.

I went to visit him the other week, and we walked to Serpas and had a great dinner.(Pork chop there was tasty). I like the way he thinks. (I also live in walking distance to Serpas and KSM.

They're looking for a new place - somewhere around Atlanta. Not sure if they're gonna settle down in the Old Fourth Ward or not. Good riddance, I say. Great burger, but not worth the negatives that it brought to the kitchen.

Just a rumor from sources, but the separation stemmed from the owner of Illegal Food berating Joystick employees at close range using a megaphone in front of customers. From the interactions I've had with Steven, it seems like a likely scenario. And, according to what I heard, this wasn't an isolated incident.

venutolo posted:Went to Krog Street Market tonight for dinner. Yalla was the only place that was serving meals, so they were very, very busy. I got in line before they opened and there were probably 20+ people ahead of me. Since they're brand new, they weren't exactly cranking out food. I had two pitas, one shwarma, and the other sabich. Both were good. I also had two of their house sodas, which I have enjoyed many times at The General Muir. When I got my food the line was even longer than when I first got in it. How early were you there? I swung by around 5:20pm and picked up some steak from Spotted Trotter, a treat from Little Tart, and some ice cream from Jeni's. Wasn't in the mood for Yalla, there was only five or so people in line then. (I was in a blue t-shirt with a Yoda pocket)
