    Ok, schlep from the greatest chow town in America to Atlanta just to eat...so what am I smoking?

    Read the links, and the links therein:

    No fooling. Other than a random couple of bushels of fresh oysters at a seafood wholesaler and a pig slaughter in mid-Georgia, there's been nothing in Atlanta worth writing home about.

    Until this. As revelatory as my first visit to Lotus Of Siam, Sripraphai and TAC. And its not like I haven't been eating Sichuan food since Szechuan East in Manhattan extending back to 1973. Or so I thought.

    If anyone is interested, please post here.

    PS: here's some history/pics of 'The Big Chicken'

    Maybe the best remaining piece of roadside kitsch in Atlanta.

    Wow, Steve, this would have been totally off my radar...thanks for posting here.

    Unfortunately, I don't have any plans to be in Atlanta soon...yet.

    Cheers,

    Aaron

    I can't wait to try this place on my next visit to ATL!

    Well, I started the web campaign last week. Today I stopped by to confirm that Chef Chang is working Wed lunch when we will have nine folks there.

    I was greeted like the rich handsome gentleman caller betrothed to their club footed daughter out of pure love. Very embarrassing. But I still managed to eat the lunch for three they insisted on serving.

    So is this how it is in Chicago too?
