"If Ludacris has one favorite dish at Straits Atlanta, it's these succulent, crispy drumettes (called "lollipops" at the restaurant). They're Chris Yeo's riff on kung pao, a Szechuan dish made with stir-fried diced chicken and chiles; the chef uses the cooked chiles as the base for the rich dipping sauce. "The sauce is so well spiced, and the meat just falls off the bone," Ludacris says...."
