Dakota Blue may be a type of earthworm and is disturbingly close in name to the whacked-out offspring of Cher and one of those Allman hicks. However, it's also the name of my pal Alan's new restaurant in Atlanta.

It's a burrito joint and it sounds pretty good. Alan's a great cook so I urge all of my Atlanta readers to check it out, okay? It's in Grant Park on Cherokee Street next door to Adams Realty. It's in that little strip across from Grant Central Pizza in the storefront that was once the most over-priced NYC deli clone and later The Eating House.

Tell 'em I sent ya and report back!

P.S. I found the following when looking for info on Grant Central. It has the ambience of a bar. I have no idea what they're talking about. I don't they even attempt to have this sort of a vibe...

If you've never had a chance to catch a bite in New York's Grand Central Station, even to grab a Sabrett on the run, Grant Central Pizza and Pasta will offer you the ambience, if not the oyster bar. Grant Central's faux stone and marbelized tabletops, and a ceiling that recalls that of the classic Manhattan terminal, allow you to enjoy a relaxing meal without the fear of missing your train. In addition to pizza that ranges from a $1.45 slice to a $20 specialty pie, signature dishes include calzone and eggplant parmiagiana. You'll also find entrees such as beef tenderloin, pork loin, and shrimp and scallop dishes, with a choice of beer or wine.
