South African Meal - delicious, but was it authentic?

[Peej 0]

Bobotie is REALLY good.
I also think it's so cool that there's a restuarant like that nearby! Do you know if it's owned by an ex-South African?

I don't know... I think our waitress was Russian.

Ian might know since it sounds like he goes there regularly.

Bobotie is LUUURVLY! If ever I'm at a dropzone near you I'll make you some. J

Sweet! I definitely enjoyed the food and wish I'd discovered it earlier (my time in Atlanta is winding down). Maybe I'll see if I can find any recipes online and I can experiment a bit myself.
Or, anyone got any great recipes I can try?

Yes it is. At one point it was staffed almost entirely by South Africans. Now there's much more of a mix but they're from all over the world. The only time I cringe is when I get an American Waitress/Waiter butching the pronounciation

It's good to hear home out here sometimes, just wish they weren't so expensive but he's really hitting up the 'la dee da' Atlantians for their cashola
NWFlyer - when you get the Bobotie make sure you get Mrs Balls (yeah yeah I know) Chutney with it. I believe it comes standard, but just in case make sure you ask for it.

The person who took us all out (my company's sales rep for the client I'm working on) is very much the "la dee da" Atlantian! She spent most of dinner telling us how hip and cool she is.

Yes, on how not to behave. I pride myself on my lack of hipness.

I will gladly go if I'm ever back again (but they're talking about me working from home for the rest of the project ...)

Well, boo.

We'll miss you! I mean, who else could possibly pull Kevin Garnett out of their ass at trivia?? And I'll miss driving by the Cox building.

If I could teleport myself there for trivia and avoid 1) the client office 2) jet lag and 3) staying in a hotel, I would totally be there.

Just being able to do that is impressive, doesn't matter where you are.
