Traveling to Buford Highway in Atlanta is always an adventure. I decided on this restaurant. 
We get the medium ribeye Pho. 
Then you can add any condiment from the middle of the table. 
You can add bean sprouts and jalapeños and cilantro.
I will have to take you to some different cuisines! Let me know what you would like to see/eat.
My niece passed her Driving Learners Permit test today, so she asked what should we do? Drive and Celebrate I replied. We went to a parking lot and she drove. Then she got bored so we went to have Pho…
It is soooo good, ridiculous!
But then, we ventured on to Maison Robert….
It is a Chocolatier in Chamblee. 
This place has excellent chocolates and gifts…
We ordered two of about four different truffles. (They are very small, don’t judge) They are really great, really. It is a super cute spot and they have classes. 
They have sandwiches and salads too. The building is really cool too. 
Okay I needed to try a new Pho place for Staycationers. So, I drove towards Decatur and stopped in at Saigon Cafe…I was very glad I did.
It is a comfy spot.
I started with Cha Gio Chay which is shredded cabbage, celery, mushrooms and carrots wrapped in rice paper and deep fried. It was good, but there is so much soup in the medium, too much food. (How could it ever be too much, huh?)
I order the Pho Tai – it is thin rare eye round steak that is cooked in the broth right in your bowl with rice noodles and topped with scallions and onions and whatever else you would like to put in it from here…
The bean sprouts with cilantro and basil and jalepenos.
These jalepenos are super spicy and super good!
My verdict is it is very good. The broth is not as deep as Pho Bac, but it is very good and the meat is actually more flavorful.
Oh, and if you are a record collector, two doors down is a vinyl store…
It is a great option in the neighborhood!
It is the Year of the Sheep (or Goat) and we celebrated at the Culture Center of Taipei & Cultural Office in Atlanta.
We sampled dumplings and noodles, buns and wraps. They have food stalls all around the perimeter of the Center. Then we went outside for the Lion Dance.
But the best part is this….
Then next the Dragon roared out….
It was great fun!
Then we went to get some Pho…We went to Pho Bac and it is located in a shopping center where they were setting off firecrackers at each place of business. It sounded like it was pouring down rain outside.Then the Dragons were back. 
They are setting off tons of firecrackers and yet exhaustion set in on this little one. 
Happy New Year!
Today’s comfort food is Pho from Pho Bac on Buford Highway across from the CDC
This is the most craveable dish in town.They bring you a plate of sprouts and basil and jalapeños.If you see that little bowl next to the plate it is filled with Chili sauce that I dip the steak from the pho into, yummy!You can add any of these to help flavor your pho but I love the richness of the broth as is.
Again, if there is anything you would like to see specifically let me know.
This past year my neighbor, Will introduced me to Pho. 
We go to Pho Bac on Buford Highway. It is so unbelievably delicious! It is so craveable! So, I took my friend Paula there for lunch. It’s noodles, it’s soup what not to love right?
It has a diverse clientele. Let me know if you want me to take you there…
