With the weather warming up, it’s a fine time to visit the Atlanta Food Truck Park once again! Sometimes you play a game of food truck roulette but the two places I went to this go around were pretty solid. I especially enjoyed the offerings of the Smoke-fried wings. The mango thai chili glaze really made you want to go back for another bite; sweet, savory, spicy, smokey, with a slight crisp per frying the wings.

Family friend suggested this place when she heard we were in the hunt for some good food. Definitely delivered. Best ramen I’ve yet to have in the states. Wow… Please go. Oh, and make sure to load up the bowl like I did. Those little extras really elevated the dish. Next time I’m back, I’m going again for sure.

The Salty Pig Charcuterie

The Salty Pig Charcuterie – Porchetta, Pate de Campagne, Stracciatella, Marinated Olives, Seasonal Greens

 

On my walkabout of Boston, used my handy Chefs Feed app’s map feature to see what I was nearby. I found myself at The Salty Pig restaurant, but unfortunately upon arrival, did not see the recommended Pâté Sammich on the menu. Found out from the waiter that they change it up every now and then and to expect it back on their menu in the near future. When asked what’s a solid choice outside the recommended option via the never-steered-me-wrong app, he told me The Salty Pig Charcuterie is a solid choice as the Pâté that is found on the Pâté Sammich, is on the charcuterie. Delish!

If Decatur wasn’t perfect as it were… Awesome restaurants, local  mom/pop shops, an actual Marta station stop in downtown Decatur (that I’ve never used), great bars, and now another late night food place!! 🙂 It’s such a perfect little ecosystem that if it were to split apart from the rest of Georgia, I think Decatur could sustain itself.

Victory at Sea was definitely my favorite of the two sandwiches and what I was super happy about was that they brought the Jack and Coke Slushie machine to this location!! Oh this thing will be very handy when summer hits. mmm~

Hadn’t been to the Dancing Goats Ponce before and had happened to be in the area. Upon walking up to the building, it honestly look pretty small but once you step inside, you can tell there is far more than meets the eye; actually that’s what I thought of coffee in general before I was educated by Jason Dominy during one of his Coffee 101 sessions.

One of Chef Ford Fry’s other quality establishment. This was one of the other locations in Atlanta that I had not yet visited and definitely enjoyed myself! Had some time before the fashion shoot with Christine, so thought it might be best to warm up a bit (it was probably low 20’s with the wind chill). A solid little menu, but I was definitely more interested in the Sticky Bun. 🙂 Just saw it in the window on my way into the restaurant and couldn’t get it off my mind.

Come check this place out sometime! A solid eatery. Will need to come back for dinner.
