Cheap Eats: Las Brasas
It happens to the best of us. It’s quitting time and you still haven’t figured out what to do about dinner. But one thing is certain: It’s a takeout night. Before you despair, do yourself a favor by grabbing a Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken from Las Brasas (310 E. Howard Ave., Decatur, 404-377-9121, www.lasbrasasdecatur.com).

Mouthful: Fried pies
The Dwarf House: This quirky, Southern landmark is the original home of the Chick-fil-A empire, and still serves the original 1946 menu crafted by S. Truett Cathy before he launched the now famous chicken sandwich. If there is fried pie perfection, it exists here. Deep-fried half-moons of lard-based dough come in an array of choices such as gooey, nutmeg-laced sweet potato, autumny apple, or the peachiest peach you’ve ever tasted. 461 Central Ave., Hapeville, 404-762-1746; and other metro Atlanta locations. www.chick-fil-a.com.

Liquid Diet: The Bar at The Mansion on Peachtree
THE LAP OF LUXURY: The 30-seat bar, located in the new Mansion on Peachtree residential property and hotel, has an elegant aesthetic complemented by a staff well-versed in the white-glove touch. The décor is decidedly upscale with its plush velvet couches, wallpaper emblazoned with silver, deep wood accents (photo courtesy of The Mansion). Click here to read the rest…

Spotted this place in Howell Mill Village yesterday. Spoke with the owners and they should be open in a couple of weeks.

I have kept passing this place since it opened and finally stopped in to pick up some chicken. I chatted up the owner who said they have been in business for about 4 months. This is Peruvian food. I ordered a chicken ($8.00 for a whole bird) and the papa a la juancaina (boiled potatoes with a spicy cheese sauce). The chicken was great. Crispy skin and well-spiced. The potatoes (I had ordered after asking her what some traditional Peruvian dishes were) were not awe-inspiring upon opening the box. But, I found I could not stop eating after my first bite. I dont know what kind of cheese they are using (it was yellow and spicy) but it reminded me of the cheese from high school when it was baked potato day. I still ate the whole thing. A nice fresh green salsa comes with. Decent spice and it goes well with the chicken. Lots of other stuff to try and lunch is only $6. It is in the same shopping center as Phuket.
