What steak place, Fatty?

By the way, KJS, that sandwich place sounds awesome.

[censored] you geezer. 16 pounds since zone chefs.

It's an underrated place called Cite. Wine Tasters special. $70 bucks. (its more about the booze); I doubt it would impress a foodie like you.

Next time in NY; Adriennes Pizza on Stone and Ulysses.

There's a place in Seattle, on the Ave called "Than Vi" you can get a sandwich and two large spring rolls (get them with tofu and not shrimp) for just north of 5 bucks. Great deal and great food.

Topped off with the best fast food desert ever. Arby's cherry turnover

[/ QUOTE ]

Obviously you never had Cinnamon Crispas, the best fast food dessert ever.

Also, you may not have tried Chick-Fil-A FRIED pies.

[/ QUOTE ]

Cinnamon Crispas yes, but no on the Chick-Fil-A, we just got one here in the OC, I will give it a try.

Years ago, we used to have brunch at Jekyll and Hyde many weekends. Unlimited mimosas, screwdrivers, and bloody marys. It's just a matter of setting expectations correctly.

I just checked out Cite . Looks like they usually have a decent cab. I also like the fact that one of the choices is sparkling wine. I would probably have about 10 glasses of champagne and 6 glasses of cab w/ my dinner.

I don't know of any vietnamese joints around buckhead.

If there are any close by, I'll give it a go next week.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dont do it. I think vietnamese food is not good, plus what they call chicken looks a lot like cat.

Vietnamese food is very good. However, there are generally two kinds of joints:

Vietnamese restaurants - they will have a lot of noodle soup dishes (pho) and other dishes that look similar to other Asian (chinese, thai, etc.) places.

Vietnamese sandwich shops - these have the most awesome sandwiches, the most standard being roast pork w/ cilantro and shredded carrots and pate. They are insanely good and typically cost about $2.

Vietnamese Food has a ton of french influence in it, and it's amazing. What I like is that lot of the dishes start pretty straight forward, but you can season them yourself with the provided sauces and really make something that fits you exactly.

I tend not to mess with the chicken, go with the pork if you get down with pig.

Edit- Implied in this statement is that French food is good, obv.

OK, a couple of guys I work with are Vietnamese, and are going to bring in one of these sandwiches on Monday. They have been telling me to try them, but my experience at the traditional Vietnamese places was not good. I will give a full report.
