One thing we tried to do on this trip was to try out local specialities. Favorite places from the locals.In Atlanta we struck gold with the OK Cafe! Wehad good and bad BBQ in South Carolina. An awful, heart attack inducing mess of a hot brown, my first White Castle experience (not good), killer pizza in Chicago, so I was prepared for the food in Atlanta to be anywhere from bad to decent.
Well, well, well... Atlanta knows how to do down home, southern cooking! I got the best chicken pot pie I've ever eaten. Creamy sauce, lots of vegetables and chicken that falls apart in your mouth and topped with flaky puff pastry! Droooooool! Had corn, corn bread and collard greens for sides. Never had collard greens before. Didn't strike me as the greatest thing I had ever tasted, but it was decent and I suspect it's an acquired taste. Would totally try it again and again.
Then in walked decadence... caramel sauce covered banana bread pudding. Now I loves me some good bread pudding, but this was ridiculous. Moist. Dense. Not too sweet. Rife with banana-y goodness!
Food wise, this was the highlight of this trip.
