"Thank you for a delicious breakfast, #TGMinTheHouse"

"This is a kosher burrito that I crave once a week. There's grilled meat and their 'salad bar' fixings all wrapped up in a tortilla. The result is a meal that's as big as your forearm. It's probably my all-time favorite dish in Atlanta."

"The Diavola is amazing because it has the perfect balance in all of its ingredients. The spice from those peppers are so delicious, with a great harmony between sour, salty, and spicy. And of course, that crust!"

"There are very few times in my career where I can be confident in saying that there is no one that has created this dish before. Then there's the time when you try something like Ryan Smith's pimento cheese in a jar, and two things cross your mind. First, why the eff did I not think of this before him?! Second, no one has created a pimento spread that tastes this good or is as unique. If I ever move to the other side of the country, I’ll introduce this to them and make the world a better place."

"Their menu changes nightly, so if you're lucky, you might have some of the best clams of your life. You're bound to be satisfied here, because the food’s cooked with attention and love, even at 1 a.m. The drinks are great, the staff is cool. It might be my favorite restaurant in the city, the one I feel lucky to have after a Saturday night ass-kicking. Listening to tunes on old power amps, watching your cocktail be made by someone who waits to see your face light up—that’s what makes me happy."

"Douse the eggs in Hotlanta hot sauce. This is an amazing representation of Atlanta Breakfast 101—busy, bustling, art on the walls, a mish-mash of eclectic, mid-century knick-knacks in the back, and GREAT, simple breakfast food. This dish brings together the peppery and crunchy exterior of the pork chops with the yolks broken through and mixed in with the acidic fruitiness of our own beloved hot sauce! It's great comfort food, not to mention a good coating on the interior lining of one's stomach."
