Plucking the Falcons - Day Minus 2

Tonight we decided to try another interesting Atlanta restaurant.  This one was dim sum meets modern cuisine.   The restaurant is called Gunshow and has an interesting twist.   The seating is again large community tables and we were fortunate to meet some very interesting people at our table.  We spent quite a bit of time discussing football and food.  Two of my favorite topics.   We exchanged names of great restaurants and discussed unusual food.  They were a mixed couple - one falcons fan and one saints fan.  It is the southern equivalent of a Bears/Green Bay couple.

Anyway, back to Gunshow.  The interesting twist of this restaurant is that each of the cooks brings the dish he/she has prepared and presents it to your table and explains it to you.  If it sounds good he leaves it for you and if not takes to to the next table to present it.  You can ask about how it was prepared, what is in it, and anything else you would like.  And the food is overall quite good.  As with every restaurant there were a few dishes we didn't like (yes we tried them all), but the great majority were quite good.  I would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun place in Atlanta.  But make sure you bring a credit card with a good sized limit.  It is not cheap by any stretch of the definition.

Once again we have met up with other Bears fans here in Atlanta.  Not quite as many as in some other cities, but we did meet the one from the farthest away yet.  Our waiter was from France and a die hard fan.

So GO BEARS
