JCT Kitchen

I had postponed a tryst with two media friends at this new joint in the swanky Urban Market district, so I’m glad when Friday rolled around and another friend suggested it for lunch.

I’ve gotten into the habit of going to a restaurant’s website to familiarize myself with their menu and ambiance, before I go. I feel it’s best to be- prepared for the occasion. I like to play dress up, so I don’t ever want to over do it, you know. When I arrived at JCT’s site, I immediately noticed how market-like the look was. A very vintage feel but somewhat glammed up. I then went to the menu and again instantly saw a variety of main entreès that I would like to try. I was most intrigued by the “Grown-Up Grilled Cheese”. I always loved that growing up so as an adult I wouldn’t mind a more mature interpretation.

I then looked at the Press link and noticed my friend Carolyn O’Neil of the AJC is one of only two very visible quotes, highly recommending the Kitchen and Bar. I was sold.

I went against my initial interest and ordered the hamburger with blue cheese. Though after a first bite, I decided it was too pungent for me, I had them redo it with white cheddar. Easy. An incredibly succulent piece of meat was pretty and well seasoned. Truffle parmesan fries accompany it and yield enough for leftovers. My friend’s dessert topped it all off– a beautiful lemon rum cake with what I determined was a light condensed milk cremè. It was heavenly. I’d dare say the best lemon cake I’ve had to date!

Though I’ve not met Chef Fry, he does an excellent job of bringing every day French flare to our burgeoning South region without offending classic Southern tradition. The combination of smooth decor and affordable & excellent food, makes JCT Kitchen work exceptionally well. It’s definitely a place for anyone to visit.

I’ve bookmarked it as one of my new faves.

  1. If I ever go to Atlanta I’ll make sure to visit it. It sounds like a very interesting place to eat.

    I didn’t do the guacamole last night 🙁 When I was ready to start making it I noticed I didn’t have any pineapple (I was sure I did) so I just ended up making some pico de gallo. But it is still on my list of things to make :-p

    BTW, te puedo añadir a mi blogroll? It’d be an honor 😀

  2. Sounds like a great place. I visit ATL several times a year and am always looking for something new to check out! Couple of questions: is the price range reasonable for the quality of the food? Sounds like it, but just curious. Also, would you say is a place to perhaps take someone on a date? 🙂 A girl has to ask! BTW, thanks so much for the fashion tip. I often get so frustrated not knowing what to wear out to different places! This DEFINITELY helps!! Keep ’em coming!! Your site is wonderful!! Thanks!

  7. I needed to draft you the very little word to finally thank you so much the moment again regarding the splendid things you have shared on this site. This has been simply tremendously open-handed with you to present unreservedly what most people would’ve sold for an electronic book to help with making some money on their own, precisely seeing that you might well have tried it in the event you wanted. Those tactics in addition worked to become a great way to realize that someone else have the same passion similar to my very own to see somewhat more with reference to this problem. I know there are some more pleasurable situations up front for people who scan through your website.

  8. I wanted to post you that tiny remark to say thanks a lot over again just for the nice secrets you have featured in this case. It was really seriously open-handed with you to grant publicly just what many individuals might have offered for an ebook to generate some dough for themselves, mostly now that you might have tried it in case you desired. These principles as well served to be a good way to fully grasp that other people online have the identical fervor much like my personal own to know the truth many more regarding this matter. I am sure there are numerous more pleasant periods in the future for many who looked over your site.
