Restaurant Review - The Feed Store; College Park, GA

During a recent business trip to Atlanta I visited an awesome little restaurant, The Feed Store:  http://www.thefeedstorerestaurant.com/Located in College Park, an area I'm told is not so great but its close to the airport and not the gross Westin Hotel, so Ill take it!  We've been there before for a few appetizers and drinks for an after work baby shower thing...but it didn't eat dinner.  This trip we needed a good meal and this one came with a few referrals so it was worth a try.  I was with two co-workers, both food lovers in need of a good glass of wine and even better service.
The industrial-ish decor was misleading as the menu was had a few old school/southern classics.  The restaurant also has a great history, which I wont bore you with...but you should give it a read some time.  http://www.thefeedstorerestaurant.com/about.html

• Our adorable older waiter suggested the "Almond Sparkling wine" odd but intriguing for 3 busy ladies after a long day of travel and meetings.  It tasted exactly as it sounded, like almond flavored sparkling wine - something you have one glass of
• For food we started with the local cheese plate with edible honeycomb, Kumquat Jam (Amazing) and toast points
• Next a light salad to add some veggies to our day
• Followed that with a glass of white wine, the almond stuff was done...and had to go
• For dinner I chose the Scallops over Cauliflower "Risotto" with Tomato jam and chive pesto: 
• Honestly one of the best Scallop dishes I've ever had, and I am a whore for scallops
• The Risotto style cauliflower was creamy, tender and a bit confusing, hard to tell if it was rice or just the veg; either way - amazing.
• Tomato Jam is so good it belongs on my toast every morning
• Chive oil is light and earthy and the perfect addition to the dish
• Lastly, there was something called 'Bacon Powder' on top, I have no idea what it is or how they make it but yes, its as amazing as it sounds

For dessert we chose the scoops of house made ice cream, simple, sweet, cold and a great finish:

• Gin and Juice Sorbet - more juice than Gin flavor but a great pallet cleanser
• Red Wine, Raspberry, Chocolate Ice Cream - the lesser of the three scoops but clearly fresh and homemade
• Mexican Chocolate/Chile Ice Cream - So delicious and so unique, it started with rich chocolate ice cream flavor, then went to a warm cinnamon and ended with a sharp note of spicy Chile - a great compliment to a heavy red wine
