naw, sure dont but thanks for playing
Interesting. Guess I’ll have to see for myself at some point. I wasn’t sure what to expect w/ Fox Bros since it seems to be the most ‘famous’ of the BBQ places in Atlanta but food is solid all around.

I’ve eaten at some of the famous BBQ joints in TX, AL, TN, and NC smoke on green egg and all that… but the beef short rib special at Fox Brothers (only on Tues and Sat) is the best BBQ item I have ever eaten.

im sure there are some authentic places out there with food delivery app options, but a very small % of them
the real ones just load up the truck, van, car whatever and drive to a construction site, the OG food delivery service haha
if someone is slinging tamales out the trunk at a construction site, they are official

This is the correct take on TDS, it’s a category unto itself.
And just to make sure it’s mentioned in this thread: Nuevo Laredo
Gwinnett County and that’s the point. Door to door by the time I leave my house, drive to RDU, security, fly to ATL, plane train, get rental, drive the entire way across Atlanta, I save 1 hour versus getting in my car and driving there.

Hugely overrated to me in my two visits. Tons of people love it. Either I had two bad visits, or everyone else thinks average food is good.

Shrimp Barbacoa at Nuevo Laredo is the best Mexican dish in Atlanta. Probably in the southeast.

This is an insanely narrow view of what’s real or authentic that doesn’t allow them to achieve the success of a brick and mortar or a url, or else that renders the tacos inauthentic? Nah dawg.

ha me too. cause its definitely not barbacoa in the traditional sense. but whatever its good.
That’s true everywhere, not an Atlanta issue. Growing up in Houston it was the same problem if you had stuff to do in Dallas/San Antonio/Austin. Unless you’re meeting at the airport, you’re better off driving.

right…im guessing do the barbacoa and then put the shrimp in afterwards?
surely they dont slow cook the shrimp like they do the beef?
It’s definitely unique to my problem (live in Raleigh, business in Gwinnett County), but damnit build me a north side airport!
With all of this food talk, I remember Tron bringing up tilapia. Is that like a south thing? As someone from the north tilapia is generally viewed cheap, shit fish.
I think they just completely botched the name bc its just big shrimp smothered in this mexican style bbq sauce.

i dunno man…im over here thinking about the best taco places i know personally, none of them have a website (yelp, etc sure) and none of them are on delivery apps
they are small places that dont advertise and simply rely on word of mouth within the community they are cooking for
give me the lady who is cooking at the house and then slinging out of her trunk with no business license over someone on door dash any day of the week
its viewed like that all over the world
