It was hard to find good ethnic food in rural Germany–it was something I lamented almost daily during my tenure overseas. I could find all manner of fantastic German food but a bowl of Pho seemed too much to ask for. Every time I traveled to anywhere remotely cosmopolitan, I made sure to find a good Thai, Vietnamese, Indiana or even Chinese joint in which to eat. I was compelled.

A basket of Taco Mac wings, complete with cups of 3 Mile Island and Death sauces, and a Red Brick Pale Ale.
OK, so I was feeling like a little masochism the other day, wanting, for some reason, to watch the San Francisco 49ers. To do this in the Greater Atlanta area, that means schlepping off to a sports bar. There are many choices, but I also had a yen for some good Buffalo wings, so that narrowed down the choices a bit. In the Cradle of the South, wanting wings means heading off to Taco Mac. Read More »
