Quest for the BEST – Chicken Wings

5 Comments

Sobban 3I read on Thrillist the best chicken wings in Atlanta were at Sobban. So I went and tried them and they are excellent. They are big wonderful tasty bites of joy! But I decided to try a few other places, so, I went to the Rusty Nail next. Wings RNThese were very good, just different, the kind you expect when you order wings. (side note, I had the Gumbo to start, that was out of this world GREAT).

The Quest continues, on to Downwind Restaurant at Peachtree DeKalb Airport. I usually get the cheeseburger here, it is just that good, one of the best in the city IMHO. Wings DW 1These were so crispy and then juicy and I would order them again. It didn’t hurt that it was a beautiful day.Wings DW 2My neighbors told me of a place I need to try and I love Hooters, wings that is! Let me know if you have a favorite. I would love some new ideas!

Sobban – Korean Southern Diner – Yum!

2 Comments

IMG_3940I was going to do a Quest for the Best – Chicken Wings, but I realized today, that would be too difficult. There are too many styles that are equally good, but so different. Thrillist came out with a list of the best wings across the United States. So, they listed Sobban in Atlanta as some of the BEST, I had to go try.

Sobban 1They put these cards on the tables to explain different Korean dishes. I have been here a few times and I adore their “Hot” chicken sandwich. I had to try the  wings!Sobban 3That piece of okra, awesome! The pickles so very good! The wings okay they were huge massive meaty bites of joy. I ate two and was getting full, I had ordered the Sloppy Joe sandwich too, so, I stopped at two (I took the other two home for dinner).

Sobban 5Sweet Potato Chips so yummy, the sandwich is very very very good but the wings were a tad better. Oh my waiter, Jonathan was outstanding, as have been all the people in the restaurant.

This place is so very great and I hope you can try it!

Service could not have been better. SprigGreat comfy bar too! I really liked the feel of this place. Then going out to my car I noticed this,IMG_3799Frazier Rowe Park, right nest to this restaurant, a trail. IMG_3802It took about 15 minutes to walk and I was deep in too.IMG_3800It was well marked and a fun little hike, but how many more of these are out there?

IMG_3745Staycationers can be surprised every day with something new on a walk. On this walk on the creek, I have seen ducks and birds, but everyday things. Today I was lucky enough to come upon this Heron.IMG_3749I came upon upon it on one end of the creek and it took off. Amazing wing span! My camera was not out, so I missed that amazing part. I did get to seed it again.IMG_3750Keep your eyes peeled you never know what you will see!

This was a concrete trail, in midtown Atlanta.IMG_3724I parked in a parking deck, where the CB 2 (Crate and Barrel 2) resides. IMG_3740Then out to the street, Crescent Avenue. This is a road of really good restaurants. IMG_3739     IMG_3735     IMG_3732     IMG_3728     IMG_3727

Then on to the Four Seasons Hotel. IMG_3713This is a beautiful hotel in Midtown Atlanta. The Food Truck was in the parking lot. IMG_3699They started their trip on September 15th and they will be in Atlanta all week. I had the Savannah Crab Cake Sandwich with Cheesy tater tots with green onions. My first bite of the sandwich I was kinda like it’s okay, but two more bites into it, it was delicious. I ate the whole thing.  IMG_3707You have to go and try this and let me know what you think! IMG_3722Just a lovely hike!
