DBA BBQ

Pulled Pork Sandwich with sweet potato fries

The Pork

The tender, succulent interior is perfectly crusted with a nicely charred shell of smoky deliciousness.

The Sweet Potato Fries

Close to perfection — I think these are the best sweet potato fries in Atlanta right now.  The salt, pepper and [...]

Hobnob

Shortrib & Lamb Pizza

This pizza is full of flavor.  Tender, braised shortrib is one of my all-time favorite things.  It has a luxurious buttery quality that underlines all the positive attributes of beef.  The tender shreds on this pizza illustrate that point beautifully.  Coupled with red pepper, crumbled goat cheese and [...]

Twisted Taco

Chips & Salsa

Tacos filled with crab balls and blackened fish

I’m not a huge fan of tacos.  And, the tacos here aren’t Tex-Mex or even Tex-Tex, for that matter.  They’re just stuff stuffed inside flour tortillas.  But, it is tasty stuff in generous quantities.  The blackened fish was [...]

Rí Rá

Fish & Chips at Ri Ra Irish Pub
(thick-cut chips are an option)

Ri Ra’s fish & chips were a huge hit with us.  This batter-fried haddock was fried to a deep golden brown with super crisp edges.  The dense batter was everything we were looking for in a traditional “Fish & Chips”.  The dense batter had [...]

Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock

The first scent is sweet chocolate and malt.  The taste of burnt sugar/caramel up front is lovely.  Complex malt and vanilla undertones add to the smooth & creamy feel of it in your mouth.  Smooth, creamy and complex all at once.  The vanilla also adds to the sweetness. But, it’s a pleasant sweetness… not overwhelming.  [...]

Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence
Belgian Chocolate Stout

The scent of dark chocolate/bitter chocolate/cocoa is quickly evident and very pleasant.  The first taste reveals a deep dark bitter chocolate flavor that works beautifully with the malty tones.  Dried fruit flavors linger in the background and contribute to a wonderful depth of flavor.  Slightly muting the other flavors, but, the [...]
