The Whacky But Delicious: Hot Dog Ice Cream at Georgia Boy
Yes, you read it right. Hot Dog Ice Cream. This unusual but delicious creation by crafty Chef Joey Ward showcases his fun and inventive approach towards food. The hot dog-flavored ice cream is served in a brioche bun dressed with mustard, slaw, and fancified with caviar. The dish is not only a visual treat but a stunning surprise for your taste buds. As weird as it sounds, it hits all the right notes of salty, sweet, and umami, leaving you craving for more.
The Premium Indulgence: Omakase at M by Tasuku Murakami at Umi
If you want to pamper your palate with the most exquisite Japanese cuisine, make your way to Umi for an unforgettable Omakase experience curated by Chef Murakami. The highlight of the meal is a simple but flavourful bowl of sushi rice whipped with uni (sea urchin), finished with a soy sauce touch, often referred to as the Japanese version of risotto. The aesthetic of the dish is elevated by the beautiful handcrafted ceramics by Nicole Pilar Fell. It’s certainly a must-try.
The Quintessential Burger: A-Town Smash Burger at Southern Belle
Looking to fulfill a meaty craving? Don’t miss out on the A-Town smash burger, a limited-time special at Southern Belle. This stacked burger comprises a Wagyu beef double-patty, mustard onions, American cheese, sweet pickles, heirloom tomatoes, and a homemade belle sauce. To spice up the deal, it’s served with a delectable peach milkshake and fries. It’s a meal that guarantees a happy food coma!
The Michelin Star Bijou: The Duck at Lazy Betty
Lazy Betty, known for their delectable tasting menu, served a showstopper this month – the in-house dry-aged duck breast with a lavender and fennel rub. The dish was accompanied by a pastry puff stuffed with duck leg confit, topped with foie gras. It was appreciated not only for its flawless cooking and taste but also for the perfection in pairing, with two 2021 pinots from J Vineyards. Such magnificence was what we’ve come to expect from this Michelin-star holder.
To sum up, Atlanta’s culinary landscape this month was a mouthwatering mix of innovative, luxurious, and comforting dishes. It’s definitely worth taking a culinary tour around the city to taste these masterpieces while they’re still on the menu. Happy eating, everyone!
