“I actually work right down the street from here in the West End. I’m the CEO of a company called Carb Ice, and the number one place to go is Bread and Butterfly in Inman Park. And you’ve got to get the biscuit. The chef there, he has made what I call like the Seven Wonders Biscuit. it’s like seven layers of all the things you want on a biscuit. So you gotta check it out.”

“I would recommend the Louisiana Bistro. Their lamb chops are the bomb! Buttery and soft. It’s finger licking, lips licking good. And it’s in Decatur.”

“One of my favorite places is called R Thomas. I have probably been going there for about 30 years, so it’s like an Atlanta staple. It’s on Peachtree right in the middle of the city. They actually have late night hours. It’s not completely organic, but it’s a healthy choice, it’s healthy food and it’s good. It’s always good. They have this portobello mushroom salad. I’ve been getting that for years. And their pastas are good. And they do breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh, and they’ve got these really great, authentic, like juices, like real fruit. Oh and they also serve alcohol too.”

“Take a look at Marcus Samuelsson spot over on Edgewood [Marcus Bar & Grill]. And I think you’ll really enjoy that. It’s a really fine cuisine. I like their seafood dish. You know they had a fish. I think they had a flounder or grouper dish that I had one time when I went the last time I went there. It had some good side veggies and, of course, some good bourbon and whiskey.”
