Where to eat in Atlanta.

Hey don't look at me that way ,I'm no Cliff Bostock, about to describe a meal while deriding the republican party, GW Bush and the Holy Church. No, just a short list for the less traveled in Atlanta, affordable eats for the working man.
A list in no particular order.
1) OK CAFE, yea you saw that one coming.Good comfort food, must tries include Grilled sourdough ham and cheese, pot roast, get the collard greens and a sweet potato with butter and sugar, and the ladies all dig the chicken pot pie with the letters spelled out in the crust.
2)The Collanade on Cheshire Bridge road, very old southern comfort restaraunt, favored by gays and old people, but hey ,they know where the good food is right?A huge menu that has something for everyone but wait till you get their dinner rolls.
3)Doc Chey's on N. Highland, fusion asian cusine with a kick, I like the chicken and broccli in spicy sauce and a cup of chicken cocanut soup, get adomomi soy beans for an appetizer.
4)Did someone say but yeh this is all good but where can I get tater tots, try the Highlander on Monroe and lookout for the blue plate specials.
5)Next door is Apre Diem,a good sandwich ,but try the pricey entrees, never been disapointed.
6)Find cafe Mambo for Cuban, they just moved ,but the Ropa Vejo, a shredded steak in garlic sauce and marinade, served with plaintains is awesome, ladies love the seafood though.
7) Nam on Buford Hwy is great too, a little more exotic than some tastes but the fish sauce is just right on everything.Prices are good too.
8)The Highland Tap, incredibly good food, a steak house of excellence, easily overlooked but a real treat ,$20 entress are common but worth every penny,a marinade pork loin you might fight over.
9)Fat Matts rib shack, never had the ribs but their sandwiches are really good , pork or chicken.Go before it's too late in the night so you don't suffer from the indifferent(blues)bands playing there that is so common to Atlanta these days.
10) The Olde Hickory House at Northlake,the oldest kind of BBQ, the best ribs in the world ,go on a friday or saturday for the best ones served.
OK I'll add more as I think of them.
