The Super H Market in Chamblee is next to BrandSmart, at the intersection of the Perimeter and Chamblee Industrial. I believe it's a Korean chain; it has the overall bright, colorful appearance of a nice supermarket. I've been there several times but yesterday was my first full shopping trip. Their selection of vegetables is very strong, although probably not as big as the Buford Farmers' Market. I didn't spend as much time looking at the meat department but it did seem very thorough, with an emphasis on pre-packaged meats. They have supplies for a variety of ethnic groups; it's going to take me a little while to figure out their organization but they have a very strong selection for spices, sauces, etc.
Our Texas Instruments colleague Cathy Wicks was gracious enough to host several of us at Ecco tonight. This is one of those restaurants that has been on my list for a long time. Even though it is within easy walking distance of Georgia Tech, I hadn't made it there until tonight. The menu is a combination of Italian, Spanish, and French that make use of some local Georgia ingredients. The combination of those three countries is sometimes a little forced, although the georgia ingredients (fruit, cheese) were all great and perfectly appropriate. We started out with a meat and cheese board. This actually reverses the French tradition, where cheese usually follows the main course. Everything was excellent. The Georgia cheese was a big hit, as was the French cow/goat cheese. I thought the sauscisson was very subtle and very good. The waitress said that the roast pork pasta was their signature dish, so I had to try it. It had traditional broad pasta (fresh, of course)
