Restaurants It ain't pretty but it tastes pretty good

It would take some serious food styling to make a bowl of stir-fried ingredients picture-pretty at Hot Stix (Lindbergh City Center, 570 Main St., 404-844-2000). Like Chow Baby, this restaurant dares you to compose your own bowl of ingredients from a selection of noodles, rice, vegetables, proteins, sauces and condiments. You hand your bowl of potpourri over to the cook who stir-fries everything on a 700-degree grill.
It's not very pretty when it returns but it tastes a good bit better than you might expect. I'm guessing it's because the super-hot grill doesn't dry anything out. Warning: Go light on the hot stuff. My first composition burned the hell out of my mouth.
We visited on a Sunday night when the place was swarming with a group from Christ the King Cathedral. We ran into the same group when we dined at Lola. I think Jesus is stalking us.
