Chow Down Atlanta

Quite simply one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a while: Spring Fettucine. Made with homemade fettuccine and house-made ricotta. With thin strips of asparagus to hold the pasta together as you twirl your fork around. Fresh mushrooms and English peas complete the gang. Oh so unbelievably light and delicious. Repeat: delicious.

But wait. Everything else is good. The Green+Egg+Ham is inventive and outstanding. The 5-minute egg has a crispy shell. Ham is courtesy of Benton’s, while the Green is provided by a creamy veggie puree. Yummy.

The Potato and Manchego Croquettes are balls of crunch and soft. A perfect pairing of opposing textures and flavors.

The usually ho-hum Steak Frites is wonderfully executed. The steak is tender and flavorful and the fries retained their crunch up to the last bite. Need I say more? Go. Now.

More here, here, and here.

Insider tip:
Last time I was there, Chef Katie was fermenting lemons in vodka for 40 days for use in a house-made Limoncello. Go ask. Oh, and my sister swears by their The View From Up Here cocktail. Go try.

So… you guys miss me yet? I’ll be back in town soon. For now, here’s something to check out if you haven’t already: the Chloe Burger. Ok, I made that up. It’s not on the menu although I honestly think it should be. It’s the $6 burger with jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, smoked paprika mayo, pepper jack cheese, and a fried egg. Sounds sloppy? It is. And you’re gonna need tons of paper towels to eat it. Is it good? Let me just say a couple of shakes of salt on the burger would have made me swoon. Because, you see, no amount of topping on a blandish burger can compensate. Just saying.

Oh, and get the homemade potato chips with dip on the side. Put them in your burger for crunch. Not a fan of crunch? Then get the sweet potato fries. You can thank me later.
