Has anyone made a comprehensive list of the Reuben sandwiches in our great city?
I'm working on a chart to rate all the reubens in town.
Authenticity, bread, cheese, thin or thick slice, meat quality, sauce, kraut, special category for unconventional.
Who's got the best?
Thousand Island or Russian?
Paper thin slices or thicker chunks?
Best deal?
A high quality marble rhye will win me over.
Best pickle? (Yes it must be served with a pickle, you will lose points without it)
Pescatarian/Vegetarian Caesar salad wrap?
Looking for the best chicken Caesar wrap without the chicken! Doesn’t have to be a veggie specific menu item, could be a spot that does a chicken Caesar wrap without the chicken and it tastes just as good. Any recs??!
Where's the best free restaurant bread in Atlanta?
I recently listened to "Where’s the best free restaurant bread in America?" from the podcast Search Engine, and then quickly read Katie Weaver's "I Found It: The Best Free Restaurant Bread in America" (paywall free link).
Katie talks about Bones here in Atlanta as the inspiration for finding the best free restaurant bread in America. Below is her review of the bread (and the Diet Coke situation) at Bones.
That episode and article got me wondering. Outside of chain restaurants and Bones, what other restaurants in Atlanta serve free bread, and what restaurant serves the best free bread in Atlanta?
Here's what Katie said about Bones:
>Here is what the restaurant [Bones] does beautifully on my visit: the bread. It is a boule cut into four wedges. Every possible shade of golden retriever, from pale cream to the deepest cognac orange, is represented by some centimeter of this rotund loaf; its floured bottom is the dark brown of all of their paw pads. Its crust is a texture known to old-fashioned Yankees as cat ice—the brittle sheet, so thin that a cat’s paw could shatter it, of an iced-over puddle. On very close inspection, the irregular latticework of air pockets inside the chewy crumb resembles a network of semi-translucent cobwebs. It has no dominant taste other than the flavor of the veriest bread—simple, warm, perfect bread—which it possesses in extraordinary quantity.
>Here is what the restaurant does poorly: serves Diet Cokes in glasses that are, I’m going to say, no bigger than a thimble inside a sewing kit inside a dollhouse and, I am astounded and appalled to discover upon receiving my bill, charges you $4 for each and every single one you drink. (Having previously dined here only as my husband’s brilliant and visually stunning dream date, I had apparently never looked at a bill at this restaurant.) Over the course of one evening, I spend a total of $16 on Diet Cokes. Worth every penny, of course—1,600 of them—but I’ll never go back.
>I award this restaurant negative 10 million stars.
Best smoked trout dip
Or any smoked trout dip? I have been craving this all week, so drop any recs. I'm locked in South City, but might be willing to travel if it's amazing.
Restaurant for Client Dinner
traveling to a client, visiting their office during the day, and taking them out to dinner in the evening.
This would be a CFO of a very sizable NFP organization, a director, maybe 2 more, and then on our side myself, and 2 leaders.
We are staying in Brentwood area.
Restaurant recommendations please!!
Also—on my own time when I arrive and need good takeout…what’s a good staple!
Sado Crab Rangoon

Coming in for a ballgame in a few weeks and Busch is the ballpark we get to visit this summer. We are looking for recommendations for food!
