Whoa! Tom Maicon’s “Atlanta Cuisine on Tap” is out today and announces an irresistible event I haven’t heard about until now — the Tasty China Ultimate Cook-off:
It happens Sunday May 6, 2012 in the parking lot at Tasty China II (6450 Powers Ferry Rd., Sandy Springs Tel: 678.766.8765). The top toques from each restaurant (Tasty China and Tasty China II) will lock woks to see who reigns champion. They will be preparing lamb and beef in the parking lot and specialty dishes inside. The people decide which chef walks away with bragging rights. The every day flavors out of these kitchens are deep in complexity and I would imagine they will be pulling out all the stops for this unique event.
There will be a lunch and dinner seating. Lunch is from noon-4pm and will cost $35 per person, dinner is from 6-9pm and will only set you back $55 (adults only).
Tom also writes about There, his pick of the week. It’s a new gastro-pub in Brookhaven whose chef is Ryan Hickey, formerly with Todd Ginsberg at Bocado. Tom calls the good food an example of “trickle-down gastronomics.”
