Thanksgiving 07, Dalton
We started our first day in Dalton with...what else, a trip down to Atlanta. Never fails. Every Thanksgiving we always go to Atlanta for one thing or another. One Thanksgiving, we had to go four out of five days. This year, I figured if we plan it right, we would maximize our time there and not have to do it again this trip.
We started by stopping for lunch with the Stricklands, where Maya made a new bestest friend Caroline and discovered a love for cheese dip and chips. Maya also got her new favorite stuffed animal (pictured above), which she has since named "Sock". Its the only stuffed animal she will refer to by name. How the name "Sock" came about, I have no idea.
After Lunch, we headed down to Lenox Mall for a bit of shopping. By a bit, I mean the rest of the day. It is funny how things are so different from West Coast to East Coast. Same but different. Pan finally got to go to Y-3, which luckily, she kept the damage to a minimum.
Later that night we met up with the family and hit Henry's Louisiana Grill in Acworth.
LAGNIAPPE (lan-yap) $14.95
A Cajun term meaning ‘something extra’ A variety appetizer plate with fried oysters, crawfish, shrimp, Bayou Cake & dipping sauces.
HOT CHILI ‘GATOR Single $7.95 or Double $14.95
Flash fried then tossed in Chinese hoisin and topped with remoulade.
LOUISIANA OOH LA LA! $15.95 or half portion $11.95
Oysters, shrimp & crawfish flash fried and tossed with Tasso, spinach and roasted garlic in Henry’s Cajun cream sauce. Served over bread tower or angel hair pasta.
I washed it all down with a couple of bottles of Turbo Dog. I could feel my arteries hardening, but man was it worth it. Although I would skip the Gator next time. Chef Henry was not there on this night and it showed. One of the kitchen guys had a heavy hand when it came to the salt on a few of the dishes, but all and all a good meal.
The next day we decided to head up to Chattanooga for some Lupi's Pizza. I always look forward to our visits to Lupi's not only for their pizza, but also there wonderful, wonderful beer selection.
We ordered three pies this day. Spinach, Ricotta and Roast Garlic (White Pizza), Sausage & Mushrooms and a Chicken, Fresh Tomato and Avocado.
Between the six of us, we took down most of the pizza pies. I more happy to drink my Samuel Smith's Organic Lager.
Later that evening, Wah made us a few Turbo Dog Floats. Turbo Dog and Breyers Vanilla bean ice cream. For those who has never tried it, I highly recommend it. By the way Wah, you making this for me every year.
