<p>"Honestly, I didn't plan on doing it," says rap musician Chris "Ludacris" Bridges of his decision to create Straits with chef Chris Yeo, in Atlanta's Midtown neighborhood. "But I was blown away by Chris's use of spices - plus, what better way to be hands-on in your hometown than bringing something it's never seen before."

The "Kung Pao lollipops" in a red-jalapeno sauce.</p>
