Title: Dayum!
Post by: Snaggletiger on September 14, 2021, 10:27:18 AM
Living here in the Wiregrass, there's not a lot of access to good chefs.  We have two, maybe three restaurants here where you can get a meal that you're still talking about days later.  I was in Atlanta this weekend helping my brother move.  I know that's everybody's favorite pastime, but he treated us to a couple of great places in return.  He's moving to Roswell, which is somewhere I've only been through, not to.  When we drove "downtown", I knew this was a place to Snaggs' liking.  Blocks of restaurants, shops pubs and breweries.  A ton of outside dining and it seemed like everybody had their pups with them.  I'm going to be visiting my brother a lot in the future.

Hit a place called Salt Factory Pub.  I believe they have 3 in the Atlanta area.  Started out with a cold, tasty IPA from a local brewery. (Forget the name) I went with the cajun flavors, starting out with Louisiana Egg Rolls, which have chicken, andouille sausage, charred corn and spinach, with a creole honey mustard sauce.

The entree was Pan Crisped Trout with andouille sausage, potato hash, green beans/sliced bell pepper, all covered in a crawfish monica sauce.  That was my first experience with Monica and she knows how to please.  A white wine, heavy cream (Mmmm...) sauce with creole seasoning. 

I'm just all about experiencing new flavas prepared by a great chef.  As I said, that's few and far between in these parts.  I shouldn't complain, we still have a Shoney's.

Well, in many ways, the Big Boy never left, sir. He's always offered the same high-quality meals at competitive prices.

Fuck Atlanta and all the Georgia fans it has.

Yep, I had to put up with quite a few FUGA jack asses this weekend too.

We have a Salt factory in Woodstock. Right next to it is a local place called REEL. The chef creates some very good dishes. The Swordfish is excellent. If you get a chance, visit downtown Woodstock. it is an open concept area (drinking while walking) and has many good places with a local brewery. (Reformation)

Love that kind of stuff.  Don't think I've ever been to Woodstock, but I'll definitely give it a shot.  Plus, I've never had swordfish either.  Had my first Tripletail filet yesterday, which was pretty dang skippy.
