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

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.
Chicago is my spiritual chow home
