![]() I’m kind of stumbling over how to word this, but I guess it’s accurate to say that Harmony predates contemporary trends in vegetarian presentation, and, like many restaurants from its generation, sort of hides, politely, behind its intentions. ![]() We engaged in some good-natured and silly grumbling about the lack of meat, but, heck, it’s not like this road isn’t completely full of Korean barbecue places for us to indulge in lots of meat some other evening. ![]() Well, they had covered Mini Hot Pot, and we’d done Coco’s and Pho Bac, and we’d both done Penang, so that left Harmony, a vegetarian place that opened in 1996 and looks exactly like every suburban Happy-This-Golden-That joint that you’ve ever seen. Our original plan had been to meet at Viet Tofu for supper, but it turns out that this little place is principally a take-out joint which would have shooed us out into the cold evening no sooner than we’d have sat down. Lately, they’ve been working through the Orient Center in Chamblee, the strip mall home of three places that we’ve already featured at our blog, Coco’s, Pho Bac, and Penang, along with a few other restaurants we have not visited yet. The depth and focus of their coverage is making theirs the best of a very good crowd. That said, Spatial Drift is rapidly becoming the go-to source for the street. Now, this corridor – and I say this principally for our many readers outside the city – has caught the imagination and enthusiasm of quite a few very good hobbyists in the Atlanta area, many of whom, like Chow Down Atlanta and Eat Buford Highway, have covered it very well and keep the rest of us inspired and enjoying the challenge of providing a good supplement to their work. Her goal has been to eat at every single restaurant on Buford Highway, starting at the southernmost, Pancho’s, and going north one by one. A little over a year ago, Emily started a really neat project. They’ve got a really fun lifestyle blog that I stumbled across while looking for links in the “other blog posts about” section that you see at the bottom of many of our entries here. Earlier this month, we finally synched schedules with Emily and Adam of Spatial Drift and got to join them for supper. ![]()
