Did you know that Atlanta's airport is the busiest airport in the world? I had no idea. But I have seen Atlanta grown leaps and bounds since it hosted the 1996 Summer Olympics. No doubt Delta, CNN and UPS, having their headquarters in Atlanta, have helped fuel that growth, bringing a diversity of people to the area, along with their food and culture.
You can get all kinds of international food at the DeKalb Farmer's Market, where Atlanta chefs get their food supplies. We come for the baked good, cheeses and spices, and stay for lunch at the cafeteria; the African-style curry is so good. There are tons of culinary delights elsewhere. Buford Highway is dotted with markets and restaurants galore, from Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese to Mexican and Latin American.
We drive two hours from nearby Chattanooga for the Korean food, but we also love hole-in-the-wall, authentic Southern fare - barbecue ribs (we love dry rubbed, Memphis style), brisket, cornbread, collard greens, fried okra, fried catfish, fried chicken, to name some. So when friends from Southeast Asia were in town, we took them to Fox Brothers Bar-B-Q. They love the food at Fox Brothers, not overly salty, like they found in many American restaurants.

Traffic jams on the highways in and around Atlanta have gotten from bad to worse. We still make the two-hour drive to get our fix on Asian food, just not as often as we used to.

ReplyDeleteThat food looks delicious.
Very beautiful murales: the writers are great artists.
I like how there are so many different artists represented in that space. There is a lot of diversity in that tunnel.
ReplyDeleteInteresting info about Atlanta's airport. The variety of international foods is great. Love the murals, specially the first and second one. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a fun place to visit!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to try and go to that restaurant and see the murals next time I am in Atlanta. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Happy T-day
ReplyDeleteI have only ever been to Alanta through the airport. I would never expect to go there for good Asian food but if I ever visit the city, I will be sure to check these places out. I can never have enough Asian food!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Nice to meet you. I've been to Atlanta once, but my husband lived there for several years growing up. I hope you had a super T day. hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice post. I enjoyed it a lot. I have been through the Atlanta air port many years ago. Had no idea it is the largest. I have been watching BBQ cooking shows and I am so impressed with the rubs and mops. Would like to try some good BBQ from the South. Wow! the mural art is fabulous. Thank you showing it. I would like to invite you to Friday Face OFF at my blog. You just have to feature a face. Glad you are joining us for the T- Party. Have a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteThe Krog Street Tunnell street art was great! Thank you for sharing with us! Happy T Day.

Fox's food looks so good. I am now starving. I think I need ribs, collard greens, and corn bread.
ReplyDeleteOnly passed through Atlanta but never visited as such. Love any farmers market.
ReplyDeleteI visited you via The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 32
I linked up this week with = 23+24 and this is a friendly reminder to come and join us at SeniorSalonPitStop. You will find the linkup information under BLOGGING.
I had to change planes in Atlanta once and my first plane was late. I thought I'd have a heart attack running for the connection! Now, at 71, I think I'd simply rebook.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2023/08/on-road.html
So nice street art
ReplyDeleteAtlanta truly has some of the best food in the South, not to mention the street art!
