"For a taste of something outside of fried green tomatoes and sweet tea, head to Xiao Bao Biscuit on the corner of Rutledge Avenue and Spring Street. Here you'll find a beautiful marriage of soul food from across Asia, with spicy dishes like Thai yellow curry with mung bean cakes, Japanese cabbage pancakes with pork "candy," or local snapper prepared with Chinese spices and seasoned greens. Inside a converted gas station, it's popular for business and casual meals among the creative class. Just make sure you're thoroughly prepared to eat something spicy." - Stephanie Burt
