Got my Sticky Bun!! 🙂
One of Chef Ford Fry’s other quality establishment. This was one of the other locations in Atlanta that I had not yet visited and definitely enjoyed myself! Had some time before the fashion shoot with Christine, so thought it might be best to warm up a bit (it was probably low 20’s with the wind chill). A solid little menu, but I was definitely more interested in the Sticky Bun. 🙂 Just saw it in the window on my way into the restaurant and couldn’t get it off my mind.
Come check this place out sometime! A solid eatery. Will need to come back for dinner.

While reading Chef Acheson’s blog on the finale of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters Season 4 (congrats btw to Chris Cosentino!), he made a mention of how there is a dish that is similar to the beef tartar dish Chris served. I’ve always wanted to check out ESS and figured this past weekend was the opportunity to do so. After a few back/forth tweets between myself and both Chef Acheson/Chef Smith, knew exactly what to order for the group! Chef Ryan Smith mentioned Steak and Eggs with the oats and hot sauce; while Chef Hugh Acheson just said anything with pork and coffee. Also during some researching around the net, saw that the Pimento Cheese with bacon marmalade was a must have. Just reading it made me salavate.
Favorite dishes: Steak and Eggs with the oats and hot sauce; also, the Pimento cheese w/ bacon marmalade (it was better than the name sounds, which is pretty freaking awesome!!).
