On a return trip home from Atlanta, we stopped for dinner at a restaurant called American Deli off I-75 in the suburbs south of Atlanta. I went into American Deli expecting sandwiches, but sandwiches were only a small part of the menu. Being that the Superbowl was just about to start as we decided to eat, chicken wings were a very big seller here. They had countless takeout orders of people buying huge quantity of wings to bring home to their parties. This made our wait for food a bit longer than it would probably be otherwise (stupid football game), but it wasn't too bad.
I ordered something that I was definitely not expecting to see on
American Deli's menu. I had the shrimp fried rice and chicken wing
combo. This consisted of a huge mound of fried rice with shrimp, egg,
carrots, peas, and onion. Several chicken wings were served alongside
with a container of blue cheese for dipping. The rice was tasty,
especially since it was from a restaurant that didn't specifically
specialize in Chinese food. The shrimp were tiny, but there were enough
of them to make up for the small size. I choose medium spiciness on the
wings, and it was a good choice. They had a nice kick to them, but
didn't leave me begging for water afterwards either.
Overall, I enjoyed my food at American Deli. It was completely different from what I was expecting, but still served tasty food...
