Late night inebriation and hunger--no scratch that, just late night inebriation--can lead to some poor food choices. Like paying a cab to sit in front of Dominos while waiting for two large cheese pizzas. But what do you expect? We're only human.
But even after more than my fair share of the bowling alley's beer "vessels" as they call them--basically 3 gallon buckets with a spigot at the bottom--the flimsy, greasy cheese-n-bread was hardly satisfying. When I choose to chow down that much junk, it should at least be rewarding. Which is why I'm going to hit up Antico in the next week. It's like dollar cost averaging your stock. You screwed up, but if you average the satisfaction of Antico over two meals of pizza calories, you're really ending up ahead of the game.
Antico will be just one stop on a cullinary tour I'll be giving a buddy as he visits me in Atlanta. And it will be quite the tour. I made a list of "must visits," a list that barely scratches the surface. And still, we'll only be able to hit a fraction of it.Some key spots to hit, loosely centered around home base in Reynoldstown, are Delia's Chicken Sausage Stand (I feel the urge nearly every day when I drive home), Flying Biscuit (some of the best breakfast in town, AND healthy), JCT Kitchen (my early favorite when I moved to ATL), and the Vortex ('nuff said).
Of course we'll be doing our best to grab late night cocktails at places like H Harper Station and Victory Sandwich bar, and maybe we'll even dip into some beer vessels. And who knows, despite my best efforts, we may end up with a large cheese from Dominos at 1 a.m.
