This Marietta restaurant has brisket unlike any you've had before

When AJC food critic Wyatt Williams recently visited Nigerian restaurant FAD Fine Dining (3565 Austell Rd SW, Marietta), he was encouraged by the owner to order the suya, a grilled beef brisket dish.

"It was a good decision. The brisket was unlike any I’ve had before: not smoke-ringed and tender like Texas barbecue, nor stewed down into strings like some roast. Instead, it was chopped into lightly chewy hunks, just big and sturdy enough to be picked up by the toothpicks that came with it. The subtly sweet seasoning and smoke that flavored the beef found a perfect complement in the addictive, salty red pepper seasoning served on the side."
