I Ate Atlanta’s Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q on a Delta One Flight | Eater Atlanta
"Chosen by Delta in 2022 as its Local Flavors pick for beef short ribs on long-haul Atlanta departures, the beef short-rib dinner arrives plated (not in hot foil) and immediately smells of sweet barbecue sauce. The steaming ribs are slathered in that sauce and topped with pickled red onions, served next to a mound of grits made with Georgia’s Sweet Grass Dairy gouda and a side of green beans. Starters on the same tray included poached shrimp with a cucumber-and-apple salad, a roasted red pepper bisque, and a burrata salad with farro and arugula; the red pepper bisque was noted as “another standout for its creamy texture.” The ribs were described as “tender to the touch and fell apart,” seasoned well with a balanced amount of salt and heat; the grits and a buttered dinner roll (served with a tiny round of Banner Butter) helped sop up the sauce, and “the green beans weren’t soggy; they still had a crunch.” Service details that elevated the meal included proper plateware — Riedel glasses and metal silverware with linen napkins — and wine pairings like a Gerard Bertrand rosé with pomegranate notes; dessert on this occasion was an opera cake paired with a Quinta do Noval 10-year tawny port. The overall impression: unexpectedly high-quality, homey barbecue served in the Delta One in-flight setting, complete with bubbles and even the ability to enjoy a tin of caviar brought “on a plane over an ice pack in a cooler bag.”" - Henna Bakshi
