We taught several of our Chinese cooking classes back to back one month and I needed a break from my own dishes. Often, we wouldn’t get the chance to eat before class and my mom and I would be famished afterwards. After teaching about eggrolls, spring rolls, stir-fries and multiple varieties of noodles and tofu, we would be “Asian’d out.” We’d hit the Waffle House or Steak ‘n’ Shake to debrief and relax. My mom likes the porkchops. I love grits. My dad’s favorite is a BK Whopper or the chili spaghetti. Recently, I had my first tacos at Don Pedro’s, a little stand in Pinetree Plaza on Buford Highway. Very tasty tacos, rice and beans, and the salsas! It’s hard to beat good old comfort food!
