Great Pycon 2010 meals
Holeman and Finch http://www.holeman-finch.com/ served us nose-to-tail eats including crispy pig ears, veal heart, tongue, smoked lardo, bresaola, and sake-lami. Interesting wines too, all at a fair price.
Restaurant Eugene, next door, with same owner, served us a seven-course chef's tasting menu, each paired with wine. Not cheap, but good value. http://restauranteugene.com/
Both were a $20 cab ride away from downtown.
The Iberian Pig, in Decatur (30 minutes by MARTA), kept us well-lubricated with Spanish wines, fine meats, interesting servings, and an attractive environment.
Max Lager's was next door to the conference hotel, and had a fine selection of beers, many made there. The steak and (Niman Ranch) pork chop were quite good, with the latter served surprisingly (and pleasantly) rare.

We met some foodies and Eugene's waiters gave us some recommendations which we didn't have time to try.

- Rathbun's
