Final lap. Time to take this puppy home. Breathe in. Shwwwwwww. Breathe out. Thaaaaaaaaaaah@#$!.

Doh. Must have been that last trip around the All-You-Can-Inhale 500.

Ready for something a little racier? Make a pit stop at new Hot Stix Stir-Fry Kitchen, where a shiny red, black, and chrome interior and blazing Mongolian-style grill make all-you-can-eat sleek again.

The setup is simple: a no-limit stir-fry line for filling noodle and rice bowls with a protein that revs your engine (chicken, beef, pork, sockeye salmon, and grilled tuna) and just about any sauce under the sun (eighteen to be exact). Adventurous? Take the sambal chili sauce out for a spin with pea pods and spinach.

Authentic dim sum selections like cha su bao (barbecue pork-filled yeast bun) and desserts like fried cheesecake (save room for a victory lap!) topped off with a Hot Stix Hooch cocktail (rum, banana liqueur, and vanilla vodka mixed with pineapple and coconut juices) make the journey even sweeter.

After all, you’ve already got the destination.

Hot Stix Stir-Fry Kitchen, 570 Main Street, Lindbergh City Center, Buckhead (404-844-2000 or hotstixstirfry.com).
