So you're FedEx-ing some to all of us right? For, uh, scientific purposes... :D

So, how does one sign up to participate in this research?

Brunch
Atlanta (Inman Park), GA
One Eared Stag

http://puu.sh/lH33H/0ea8008a9c.jpg

Chef's Breakfast, top left clockwise: Buckwheat Pancakes with Bacon, Catfish Fritters with Stone Ground Cheddar Grits and Chilli, Fresh Goat's Milk Yogurt Parfait, Fried Pork Belly over Farro Risotto with Veg, Black Pepper Biscuit with Country Ham. Also included a can of Schlitz (not pictured). I can see why Zagat rated this best brunch in Atlanta. This was all amazing and not badly priced at only $22 with beer included. We also got a small assorted pastry basket that had a couple of savory scones as well as a doughnut and a muffin for $6, and I started with a forgettable Pils. Will be returning.

Also the way the Chef's Breakfast works is they don't have it on the menu and they don't tell you what's on it until it's brought out, so you have to be a little adventurous. I always love a meal that makes me think my cooking is mediocre.

Interesting sky. My wife and I like tasting menus so this would work for us. We will give it a shot? I am still trying to locate a high ene (with seafood, smoked fish, etc) brunch buffet in Atlanta...any leads?

Yeah, great place. As for a good buffet, Rays on the River is outside of town a bit in Sandy Springs, but they have a great high-end brunch buffet with smoked salmon, salmon pate, crab claws, cioppino, gumbo, mussels, and IIRC a little raw bar action, etc. Great location for brunch too, but they get packed, so reservations are recommended. Park 75 at the Four Seasons in Buckhead does a good buffet as well. Not sure if Astor Court at the St. Regis does a buffet or a la carte and the site isn't working for me right now. I can tell you that IMO you should avoid the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead for brunch which was serving up average at best fare for a way above average pricepoint. On that same point, oddly I have had a lot of people tell me the 57th Fighter Group Restaurant at PDK does a good brunch buffet, but I went and was more than disappointed...lukewarm chafing dishes and nasty meats and eggs. They are okay for lunch and dinner IMO, but you're paying for the view of the airport more than anything and for that I'd rather go to the Downwind just up the road by the FBO and get a cheap delicious burger.

Rays is really the quintessential Atlanta brunch experience though.

Slow-roasted chicken with potatoes given to me by a neighbor (just dug up this morning) and peas. Nothing better than roasted Cyprus potatoes.
