Nope, gotta be in the northeast.
What I expected. Thanks!
Sorry, there’s nothing magic about the northeast. Some Atlanta places worth trying:
Woody’s in Atlanta, near 10th and Monroe, is solid. Too bad I don’t like going in-town, into the City of Atlanta proper. Because crime and soft in the head policing and jurisprudence, which are two sides of the same coin.
Dave’s Cheesesteaks at the Super H-Mart plaza in Doraville can be quite good, but they’re more hit or miss. And they’ve got the competition of all the great Asian places there, they have a tough row to hoe because of that.
The Mad Italian on the I-285 access road near Shallowford is very good. They’ve been around forever, used to be in-town but have been out at the Perimeter for decades now.
