The pouch has been running around quite a bit lately, so it only has time to nibble here and there... in between real restaurants of course. I know y'all wanna see what the pouch snacks on in between meals.
Hudson Grille.
This is why tipping should stay in restaurants... The young clueless server came back three times to change the order because he didn't know what the Monday night burger special covered. First, he said you can pick any of these burgers which include specialty burgers with a shitload of crap in them already, then he says you can pick two other toppings and it comes with two sides. I'm like dude, that is a fucking lot of food for $5.95. Are you sure, bro? Yes, I'm sure was the response. Puts the order in and comes back 8 minzies later... Ok, its just one extra topping for the burger but you still get two sides. Comes back 6 minzies later and says, it's just the classic burger with two toppings and one side. This guy was a fucking trip, there's no way he deserves $15/hr... He didn't know his wiener hole from his facehole... But both squirted piss. This was their Northlake Pkwy location which was some bullshit crap chains before (Chili's and Roxx)... Hideously redneckery inside.
Classic Burger with fried egg and smoked bacon, boursin mac n cheez. The burger looked decent but the mac was a big pile of shit from first glance. You sure this was boursin cheese and not curds or feta cheese? It was cold, congealed, crunchy, mushy with overcooked elbow macaroni. It was possibly the worse mac n cheez I have ever eaten. Do these fuckers taste the food here? Wait, I looked at the kitchen staff, that's a negative.
Burger innards... Surprisingly, cooked mid-rare to temp. Maybe they just got lucky. Well, it was a good portion of ground meat. Not seasoned very well but the egg and bacon masked the blandness with the runny yolk and salty bacon juice. It's a decent burger if you go on the burger night. It's worth about $6, nothing more. It will fill your belly but stick with the fried shit for the side because their skill level on real food that needs to be cooked is low.
Classic Burger with candied bacon and guacamole. Is that a fucking filet mignon in there? It turned out to be a meat patty but the similarity to a beef tenderloin is uncanny... Speaking of which maybe they used an old Manwich can to shape the patty. The burger was spot on mid-rare once again, tasted decent and the spinach was well, wilted spinach with excess liquid in the bowl... Standard chain veg slop.
Pan American Bakery.
Cuban. So, the original Havana is back in business on Buford Hwy now... But I still come here for their incredible Cuban sandos for $5. Best Cuban in da ATL. The guy makes his own bread for crying out loud... Now, that's boss.
This place is invite only but my pal has been playing with his new toy, the BGE lately and decided to do smoked wings. Fuck yeah, I'm down with BWBFF.
Look at these little nuggets of beauty...
Smokey, juicy, tender, great shellac on the skin and char bits. This first batch was real nice but once the BGE steadied itself on temp, the second batch was even sicker. I need one of these fuckers. I would smoke road kill and sell it as brisket to the local blind kid and his bird with the taped on head.
Now, fuck off... I need a nap. Stay tuned for more dumpster dives...
