Pulled Pork Sandwich with sweet potato fries
The Pork
The tender, succulent interior is perfectly crusted with a nicely charred shell of smoky deliciousness.
The Sweet Potato Fries
Close to perfection — I think these are the best sweet potato fries in Atlanta right […]
BBQ rib & pulled pork combo with Brunswick stew & collards
While every element of this plate was cooked with skill, the bbq spices & flavors were not my favorite. One particular spice (coriander, I believe) gave the ribs a flavor that reminds me of brisket. I like brisket, but, […]
Fox Brothers: Best Overall BBQ & Best Cornbread
Who’s got the best BBQ in Atlanta? (Check out my first Best BBQ list posted on April 16, 2008) Many of the originals have stood the test of time. A handful of new additions have been added to the […]
I must confess… I’m not a fan of the Cracklin’ Cornbread. Gummy bits of cracklin’ clinging to my teeth is a bit of a turn off for me. The flavor payoff required for me to fight the unpleasant texture was just not there. The addition of fried pork rind to […]
On one of Anthony Bourdain’s excursions to India (Rajasthan), he samples a marijuana laced white chocolate and bhang lassi. The government licensed shop keeper refers to the strongest bhang lassi as “super duper sexy”. Speaking of government licensed marijuana, can you imagine how quickly we’d be out of debt if WE had government licensed marijuana […]
The Setting: Just down the street from Ann’s Snack Bar, this super-small building with a brick walled oven offers little in the way of space (standing room only). But, who cares? We’re here for the food. And, we were very happy to dine on picnic tables at the park down the street.
The Staff: Friendly […]
The Setting: A smallish glass-walled converted gas station creates the indoor seating space. A covered patio with plenty of faux-vintage aluminum chairs & tables fill the superior outdoor seating area. Though, on at least one occasion, we were asked if we wanted to contribute to a gentleman’s livelihood…. or maybe give him our food… you […]
Fox Bros. Chicken & Ribs Combo
The Setting: This perfect summer day with a bright blue sky had Fox Bros. packed to near-capacity.
The Staff: Friendly and attentive, even with the crowd
The Food:
Watermelon Margarita: Perfectly fresh watermelon juice, a good kick of tequila […]
The Contenders:
Fox Bros. BBQ — (pictured above) Their version is close to perfection in my book. Dense, crumbly, just a hint of crispiness on the top and at the edge. And, most importantly, full of corn flavor. This is everything good cornbread strives to be. Specks of […]
Maybe… It’s certainly in the top 5.
Fox Bros. recently added cornbread to their lineup of sides. And, it is divine! Served with a side of sweet butter that’s dusted with cinnamon, this huge wedge of mildly sweet cornbread is dotted with corn and diced jalapeno. While it’s hard to tell sitting next to […]
