Abattoir *** (Atlanta, GA) - These are the best chicharones I've ever had. In fact, I ordered the chicharones twice! TWICE! It was a laid-back fine dining experience, if such a thing is possible (the waiters wore jeans). And another nice thing: there was space! The delicious charcuterie and platter of cheeses was laid out as we approached the table. Veal sweetbread? Yum! Blood sausage? Delicious! The restaurant is aptly named. The cowboy steak, Wagyu flat iron, the burger, rabbit; everyone was pleased with their dish. Add to that, a hypomanic and hilarious waiter still mourning Manchester United's defeat to Barcelona (he showed us his Manchester United tattoo), and it was a fantastic experience. I forgot to mention dessert. Again, a sampler platter did the trick as we were wildly undecided. My favorite: the bacon cookie. That's right! A bacon cookie. No overt baconness though. It was a pretty simple butter cookie with the smell of bacon. Down right brilliant! Is it worth while going just for the chicharones and bacon cookie and omit the entree? To be honest, I'm seriously thinking of doing exactly that and very, very soon ...
