The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Likes Deviled Eggs, Too

A reader recently sent me a link to a story that appeared in the Food section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The article (http://www.accessatlanta.com/living/content/shared-blogs/ajc/tabletalk/entries/2008/04/29/devilish_eggs.html?cxntnid=din043008e) is linked here.

AJC food writer Meridith Ford makes a bold statement in a brief deviled egg primer. Ford states, "There are few things on the planet as good as a deviled egg." Well we couldn't agree more! In fact, it's an important enough axiom in this blog's household that, as you know, an ENTIRE blog is dedicated to the art of creating the BEST deviled egg.

But here's where it gets interesting. In January, we reviewed the EXACT SAME deviled egg that Meridith Ford discussed and pictured in the AJC column. That entry (http://thebestdeviledeggs.blogspot.com/2008/01/bricktops-deviled-eggs.html) is linked here.

Ford's column is, of course, slightly different than our bit about Bricktop's. We squirreled the Bricktop's recipe out of an officious Bricktop's server on our visit (our adaptation of it is posted in our blog). Also, we sliced the applewood smoked bacon into single serving sizes, and we ignored the giant parsley garnish that Bricktop's uses because we just focus on the eggs and not the presentation. Lastly, Ford appreciates Bricktop's "towering" deviled egg filling, something we didn't note on our visit (to a Nashville Bricktop's).

The most interesting part of Ford's column is the suggestion of a couple of additional Atlanta deviled egg outlets: Maxim Prime in downtown Atlanta and Cakes & Ale in Decatur. In the comments section, AJC readers also suggest JCT Kitchen and the S & S Cafeteria. As an aside, the DeviledEggBlogger had a meal planned at the JCT Kitchen for a March trip to Atlanta, but that damned tornado put a stop to that.

You will also notice that there are several recipes suggested in the comments section. Maybe someday those will also be reviewed on this blog!
