Crazy-good sandwiches... and everything else.

by HunterPearson

Star Provisions has all kinds of awesome goodies... rooms dedicated to meats, cheese, and fancy kitchen appliances. In another room there's a deli counter where they dish out fancy sandwiches and gourmet to go. I've never had their fried chicken or their pizza, but their sandwiches are fantastic. If they don't have it on the menu, ask about the bahn mi sandwich, the chocked Vietnamese tradition that stuffs pork and pickled veggies into a french baguette. Heaven. As was the French-Italian inspired prosciutto, sweet butter and parmesan on fresh baked bread. Never had the shrimp po-boy, but I've heard nothing but rave reviews from my foodie friends.

• Pros: Sandwiches, meats, cheeses, fancy kitchen gadgets.
• Cons: Parking lot gets full... fast.

pricey, but nice

by Cupid102

They have good sales and some really cute gift items but not if you aren't looking to spend too much on someone.

• Pros: nice people
• Cons: their menu is limited and merchandise is expensive

For out-of-the ordinary ingredients and fancy housewares

by JessicaSophia

If you're looking for Himalayan red salt, foie-gras stuffed hamburgers, boutique olive oil and retro candies, look no further. This gourmet food store-slash-housewares store is Atlanta's best source for specialty foods and ingredients. There's also a large selection of beautiful tabletop items and giftware, all of which are rather expensive, but very special and unique. The meat, cheese and fish counters have a gorgeous selection (again, on the pricey side), and the bakery sells beautiful sweets. There's a tiny alcove in the front where a local farmer sells his produce certain days of the week.

• Pros: Good selection, high-quality merchandise
• Cons: Expensive!

Five Stars for Porchetta!

by thundersroar

I wish I could give six stars, but the Porchetta's worth living until the age of 134 for. Make sure you ask your server Chef Biderman made the Porchetta first, then go for his NOLA-styled specialties!

• Pros: The varietal use of familiar, but unorthodox combinations of great ingredients; the Porchetta.
• Cons: the snobbiness of their "marketeers"
