atlanta invasion, resaurant opinions needed

[Smiling JOe]

Nobody has even mentioned The Varsity! Now they do have some tasty treats and the price is so easy on the pocketbook. I could go for a chili dawg with greasy onion rings right now. YUM!! YUM!!

Maybe we'll do that for Thanksgiving dinner this year. How does that sound?

"What'yl you have?"

Jdarg, funny you mention the fajitas and childbirth. A guy (without kids) was telling Balder about that old trick last night.

"What'yl you have?"


YOu left out part of it. "What'll ya have? What'll ya have? Have your order in your mind and your money in your hand!" YOu're right about this though. Although, a FO would be good right about now.

I'm in Midtown tonight. Any suggestions for dinner within 10 miles that isn't too pricy? How expensive is Globe? Should we revisit Toast (although I've heard that they have a new chef, and it's bad)?
My usual list of inexpensive restaurants is Houston's, Taqueria Del Sol, Figo (but went ther last night), Doc Chey's, Fratelli's, Nuevo Laredo.

Any ideas? I'm HONGRY!

Horseradish Grill next to Chastain Park. Great for lunch or dinner!

Globe's menu looks interesting. Maybe a bit $$$. Why don't you try it out and review it for us?

Welcome to Hotlanta. Hope you enjoy it. Where did you end up going for dinner?

Daughter wouldn't go to Globe. She's known several people who have gotten sick after eating there.

So we went to our comfort place, Houston's at West Paces. Got a quick table in the bar area (we know how to play that game). They've made some menu chances, but at least they let me special order the Ahi tuna salad. What I really wanted was salmon (which they didn't have), tomatoes drizzled in EVOO and balsamic, and their yummy corn-off-the-cob.

Hey Steeleing1- I know 2 gals that went into labor after eating fajitas. Just an idea if you are ready to roll. Since we were talking about food and all...;-)

Eggplant Parmesan from Scalini's supposedly does the trick, too -- they claim within 48 hours of eating it, you'll go into labor... In the restaurant, there's a wall with pictures of all the 'eggplant babies'!

I had it for dinner on a Wednesday, and then went into labor early Saturday morning coincidence? who knows.
But, I had pizza for dinner on Friday night and my sister did also the night before she went into labor with her son. ;-)

Tonight we were at a great pre-wedding party for the daughter of our very best friends. The hosts are among the biggest donors to Georgia Tech and have a compound with multiple houses, including a steak house. We were grilling brats at their steak house and talking about Globe in Atlanta. I said that I wanted to dine there on Thursday, but my daughter's friends had gotten sick there. OOPS! One of the guests owns Globe and said that he promises us a great experience. I'll report back later.

Fabulous party!
