So I've been in Atlanta for two days now and haven't been very adventurous so far, but I have reservations at Rathbun's tonight, which was recommended to me by a couple of locals and also Bill Telepan, who is the chef/owner of Telepan in New York. I'm very excited!
Tuesday Lunch: I was at an all day workshop and just grabbed a quick bite with a colleague at Atlanta Bread Company. It wasn't so different from Au Bon Pain - fine but nothing special
Tuesday Evening: My presentation was Wednesday morning so I was looking for something to grab quickly and eat in my hotel. It was hard to find anything interesting so I just got shrimp fajitas from Jalapeno Charlies. It was tasty but nothing spectacular.
Wednesday Lunch: Went with a few colleagues back to the Peachtree Center Food Court and thought I'd try Farmer's Basket - various meats and vegetables. I decided to be healthy so had collard greens, mashed potatoes, carrots, and broccoli. I was really disappointed - the greens were incredibly bland - not enough salt and I don't think they'd been anywhere near the essential ham hock!
Wednesday's dinner was at the conference reception - excellent shrimp and grits!
Thursday's lunch: One of my colleagues Mike went to Chick-Fil-A yesterday and it looked so good I had to try it today. I was going to get the grilled chicken sandwich but I then decided to screw the calories and go with the classic. GOOD DECISION - it was awesome - the chicken was moist and tender, and the breading was crispy and not too greasy - just enough to dress the bun. The pickle slices were a great addition. I understand why people become addicted! I have to say though, that the waffle fries weren't good at all - they weren't crispy enough and just tasted like oil.
