Doty does it again …

Fifth Group has penned a deal with chef Shaun Doty of acclaimed Shaun’s in Inman Park to turn Sala, its hip space in Virginia Highland, into The Original El Taco, to open in mid-October. Doty is developing recipes for funky Mexican fare, including tacos and tortas. He will work with an as yet unnamed chef de cuisine, most likely someone from within the company, while remaining executive chef and owner of Shaun’s.

It’s no secret that Buford Highway has become the corridor to all things culinary for Atlanta foodies. Today’s review takes a look a one of my favorites — Penang, a Malaysian wonder just south of Shallowford Road.

Others that have long been on my list are the Korean tofu soup house So Kong Dong, El Rincon (a Salvadorean pupusa house), Chinese dumplings at Chef Liu, the bhan mi thit at Lee’s bakery, the La Suprema Bakery behind Plaza Fiesta (there are many other locations in the area), the food court inside Plaza Fiesta, Mozart Bakery, and Rexall Grill. These are but a few.

Where’s your favorite place to eat on Buford Highway?
