Hey you....Look me right in my face because you need to hear me. If you live anywhere around East Atlanta, you need to take yourself straight to a brand bew addition to the n'hood: MikChan's. Located in the Global Grub Collective, (We Suki Suki for the EAV locals) this new little gem has sammiches so good, you'd literally duel your own damn family over one. The Mongolian Dip, with its massive mound-o-meat w/ sweet and spicy marinade, melty cheese and savory jus (for dipping, yo) will just make your day better - and that's a promise.
Now let's discuss their Cuban and Cubans in general. For the past 10 years it's been my job to work with restaurants. I've had all the Cubans the A can sling at me, and I'd put their Cuban up against my favorites any day. The overnight marinated Boston butt with ham and provolone cheese is offset perfectly with their bright and spicy homemade Chinese mustard, and house made pickles. Are you picking up what I'm putting down, yet? Because there's no Sysco up in there, baby!
Lastly, if you're vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free, they have you smothered and covered in every way possible. Even as a proud carnivore, I'd eat that Mushroom Melt at least once a week. The mushrooms are a garlicky, umami bomb that's topped with tons of cheese and pressed in the same TGM bread.
Other must haves are the tacos and Mexican Pizza. Yeah, like THAT Mexican pizza. You know the one. The one you use to skip lunch period to go have... it's like that, just better, more sophisticated, and all grown-up - just like you!
Lastly...Mexican Coke slushies and homemade pop tarts. I don't think much more needs to be said. Happy eating!
