I'm visiting Atlanta next week (moving there in 2 months). I'll be in the downtown area Friday. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to eat?

Top Chef finale tonight! Casey, Dale or Hung?
Casey is most definitely from Dallas. I would have loved to see her win, would have settled for Dale, and mad as hell that it was Hung.
How I can control my overindulgent tendencies?
I've come to accept my food loving tendencies but I have learned to eat one or two bites to taste and then stop. I've also learned to love running and to love the curves! I will NEVER be skinny but my doc says I'm at least healthy!
Cook the Book: 'Eat This!'
Harold's BBQ in Abilene, Texas- a chopped bbq sandwich, seasoned fries and strawberry cobbler.
If you are lucky you might even get to hear Harold belt out gospel music!
Good, Authentic Mexican Cookbooks?
I'm from Texas and though I feel a bit strange writing this I suggest Williams and Sonoma Mexican cookbook. My brother bought it for me and I was skeptical but it has the basics that I grew up with (I grew up with many Mexican friends who were generous with the food!). I have never been able to make red spanish rice, mostly because my teachers were so adept at cooking it that they had a hard time writing down any sort of a recipe. I can cook it now!
"Alone in The Kitchen....
This has been quite the read because usually I don't indulge when I'm eating alone. My husband does not like meatless meals, therefore eating alone means eating something without meat and lots of veggies. My favorite is simple; whole wheat pasta, zucchini, mushrooms, pine nuts, and garlic. Mmmmm....
Most irritating/dumbest food advertising?
I absolutely cannot stand the Sonic commercials in Texas...there are several (2 guys, 2 girls, and a married couple). So annoying, not funny.
I also dislike a brand of peanut butter, I think it is called Jif. The line is "choosy moms choose Jif (or whatever it is called)". They were REALLY clever when they added dads as an afterthought when the dad made his daughter a sandwhich. It is so irritating that in 2007 marketers still assume that women are the primary buyers of groceries in a household.
Sorry for the long post - you obviously hit a nerve!

30 yr-old banker in NYC. I love to cook and eat but can't always find for cooking. Luckily, my husband loves to cook as well and is a fantastic cook. So for now, I'm sticking with eating! We love to travel and trying new ingredients or cuisines.
My accomplishments are homemade ice cream, spicy kimchee fried rice, and one pot clam bake. I would love to learn how to make pasta from scratch.
