I now know why Georgia is dubbed the “Peach State.”
Usually I hate when people blog about food, but I had to make an exception, and since there was nothing else interesting happening an hour before tip-off, this qualified for a post.
For a pre-game media meal, the fine people at Georgia Tech served a nice buffet consisting of pulled chicken, chicken breasts, baked beans and salad.
But at the end of the line, a piping hot bowl of peach cobbler awaited. After scooping out enough to serve the Spartan Army, I let it sit as I ate the rest of the meal. (My parents always told me no dessert until I finished dinner.)
The Bar-B-Que was great. Then I got to the cobbler. The first bite was delectable, the next was spine-tingling sweet. All in all, it’s the best piece of food I’ve had in 2009, let alone the best offered at any media spread.
They wouldn’t give me the recipe, no matter how hard I begged (I didn’t beg. Making a scene over a pastry at a basketball game might not look too professional).
But now I need a reason to return to Hot ‘Lanta so I can get some more cobbler. Maybe Young Jeezy will be performing in the city in a couple months.
