Six Restaurants. One Night. Bring It On!
Some of the most iconic dishes in Atlanta can be found in the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group. From fried chicken at Buckhead Diner to deep fried lobster tail at Chop’s, it’s the kind of food that we dream about. So, we started thinking; what if we could create our own Buckhead Life progressive dinner? What would we order to make the BEST meal of our life?
We sat down with professional eater, and Atlanta Eats host, Steak Shapiro to get his take! Read below for his dream dinner in Buckhead. Warning: Do not read this while hungry!
Starter
When I sit down I want the gougeres (cheese puffs) at Bistro Nikko – what better way to start a decadent meal!
Appetizer
It has to be a true seafood trifecta. I would start with the Atlanta Fish Market jumbo lump crabcake; creamy and delicious and everything you want in a crabcake. Then I would move on to the signature flash-fried lobster tail at Chops. This is an appetizer you must try in Atlanta. And finally, I would have to get Kyma’s grilled octopus. There’s a reason why 95% of the tables order it!
Pasta
You have to have a pasta course in a dream meal, and my choice is the beef shortrib ravioli (Ravioli de Brasato) at Pricci; the perfect sauce with the lightest ravioli ever.
Entree
As a professional eater, you know I can’t only have 1 entree! So, I’m going to go with 2. First up the fried chicken at Buckhead Diner. Seriously, close your eyes, imagine the South and bite into this chicken. Then I would move on to the whole grilled fish at Kyma .This is my mom’s favorite dish in Atlanta so it can’t be bad. It’s her fave for a reason.
Dessert
Believe it or not, there’s still room for dessert! And, of course, this is another duo. To end this epic meal, I’ll be diving into the chocolate mousse cake at Atlanta Fish Market and Buckhead Diner’s award-winning white chocolate banana creme pie . Both are just absolute perfection and enough to send me off in a state of bliss…
