Dillon Ate . . . At Top FLR in Atlanta on a Tuesday night.

Top FLR Tuesdays

Shouts to me good homie, Jason Ware, who holds it down in one of my new favorite ATL establishments, Top FLR. This is a real dope spot, located on Ponce de Leon, like 2 blocks East of Peachtree Rd. (For my ATLiens) – It’s right next to Papi’s Cuban spot (which is also some of the best Cubano cuisine in the A) – Anywho – DJ Mafioso, of Binkis Recs and mucho mas plays there every Tuesday night – and the food is bangin!! I had the Sauteed Root Veggies (Parsnips, Carrots, Tri-Color Potatoes, and Turnips), as well as the Wild Mushroom Spaetzle (BANGIN!) – but neglected to bring my camera (Waa Waa) – special shouts to DJ Enchant’d who hooked up the flicks – and to Mafioso for giving me a gang of his DJ food! Ha!
