Has anyone ever heard of an Atlanta restaurant that served sandwiches on "flowerpot" bread?

I used to live in Atlanta years ago, and I went to this restaurant a couple of times. It was a very casual place, and the food was cafe fare like burgers, sandwiches, fries, chicken fingers, etc. They baked what they called "flowerpot bread": a tasty homemade roll baked in a small clay flowerpot. And I believe most of their sandwiches were served on said bread.



I remember the restaurant was on a busy street (maybe four-lane), maybe like 10th, or Piedmont, or Morningside?, and had mostly outdoor seating. Also, sides like fries and what-not were served in huge overflowing baskets.



If any of this sounds familiar, please help me out with a name and location -- and also let me know if it's still around. If some of the info I've provided doesn't jive, the "flowerpot bread" was the main thing I remember (if I'm even remembering the name correctly).



Thanks for the help.Has anyone ever heard of an Atlanta restaurant that served sandwiches on "flowerpot" bread?
Good Old Days. Started out in the Emory Village, and then moved and then closed down. That was a long time ago. Thanks for reviving my memory.
Good Ol Days is correct! The former owner, Sally Nichols, now has her own catering business: http://www.kimballhall.com/sallysevents.html

I don't know about the restaurant in Atlanta...but if you're willing to make a short road trip 1 1/2 hours Northwest of Atlanta...you can find flower pot bread at the Prickly Pear restaurant at 333 Broad Street in Rome,GA. 706-802-1616 Give them a shout, they might make you up a batch and ship it to you if you don't want to make a road trip. It was truly the best bread I have ever eaten!Has anyone ever heard of an Atlanta restaurant that served sandwiches on "flowerpot" bread?
Not sure about what restaurant you're remembering, but I found a site that explains how to make it - I'm gonna give it a shot! The first link best explains in detail how to prepare the pots - the second shows how to do it using frozen bread rolls - EASY!!!
