Table 1280

Haute shrimp n' grits is available at Table 1280 next to the High Museum of Art at the Woodruff Arts Center. A perfect place to stop by for brunch and then wander over to the High Museum to check out the contemporary pieces on the top floor. And if you haven't seen it, go check out the Dali exhibit at the High - this weekend is the last weekend to see this show. I'm not usually into surrealism (too egocentric, literal and illustration-y for my tastes) but the later Dali pieces (i.e. sans boring dripping clockfaces) were interesting and kind of breathtaking- especially when he reinterprets religious imagery in a surrealist fashion. I never really thought that religion and surrealism would pair well together...they're odd fellows to be in bed together, and yet it kind of works, kinda like shrimp and grits.
