Falafel King: Favorite Emory Food Joint

There is something about a chicken/lamb/beef shawarma craving that makes me just RUN over to Falafel King.  I love it! I am serious, I love it so much that during the summer I PLACED a FK ban on myself, since I knew I abused my FK privileges during my second year at law school, but as soon as my third year started I just had to run over to FK to grab my favorite dish: The Chicken Shawarma Plate w/ two stuff grape leaves and fried chicken dumplings!

Doesn’t this look amazing?  Another part of FK that I love a lot our the two condiments on all the table: a spicy mayo (I think) & Sriracha.

Another aspect of FK that I love is the fact that it is run by a cute Korean couple!  The Wife definitely wears the pants in the relationship, since she is in charge of giving the right amount of chicken.

If you’re near the Emory area, Falafel King is the funny looking building near Chipotle, Zoe’s Kitchen and diagonal from the University’s bookstore.

Bye!

An Irish Iftaar: Marlay House

I love shepherd’s pie! Unfortunately, a lot of the places in Atlanta that serve shepherd’s pie mix the meat with some sort of pork, which as you know I cannot eat. So a week ago a friend suggested I try Marlay House’s shepherd’s pie, since it was all beef—OMG it was SOO good! I loved it. The Marlay’s House menu has a great mix British pub food w/American favorites, and the atmosphere is true to it’s roots with a lot of rich wood work all around the venue.  Any how, I decided to break fast with a special they were serving & my friend ordered the shepherd’s pie (we went family style with our meals) and we both loved it! 

The Sunday night dinner special: Beef pot roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, Yorkshire pudding, gravy & vegetables.

Shepherd’s Pie!

Oh yeah! We got dessert — a hot walnut brownie w/caramel and vanilla ice cream

Can you tell how much I loved it?
