Atlanta..and the home cooked meal...

So its not everyday as a tourist you can roll into a city and find someone from the area to make you a meal. Well, I did. And it was so bomb. Fried Chicken, Mac and Cheese (better than mine, which is hard to believe), Corn Bread, Greens, Salad with RANCH and a plum from the garden out back.

I am currently working on getting the recipe for this mac and cheese...something tells me she used like pork juice or something as the broth....because I cannot explain how amazing this tasted.

Hopefully I will have the recipe by the holidays...then I can roll it out at Jive Turkey 3.

The City Too Busy To Hate

Sorry for the lack of posts, last week was hectic and then I was off to Atlanta, Georgia for a work conference. I spent most of the time in the hotel...but was able to catch a few bites of local fare.

Chick-fil-A

According to their website they have been making the same chicken sandwich for over 40 years.
It's pretty damn good, for fast food. I think the reason the chicken sandwich is so bomb is because of the pickles they slide onto the bottom bun. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and they let you control what kind of sauce you want on your sandwich.


I went with the grilled chicken and TK went with the hand breaded sandwich. Both of our meals came with waffle cut fries which were hot and perfectly cooked. Their menu, clearly focusing on chicken, features everything from nuggets, strips, wraps, salads and soups.


We were on the MARTA and met a local who we asked about a fast food place by our hotel where we could get something quick and good. I mentioned to him that prior to the trip I read about a popular place called Chick-fil-A...and he was like, "Are YOU kidding me! You have never been to Chick-fil-A?" So we had to go...
