What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Last year, we made sure we made it to a Texas BBQ. What regional food(s) do we need to make sure we experience in Atlanta this year?

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Mmmm... I like food.

I hear that getting a hot dog at "The Victory" is kinda cool. At least, that is what the Food Channel says.

I wonder how far away it is from the Dome?

I know there is a starbucks in the lobby of the hotel where im staying at the westin peachtree. I'll probably end up eating at whatever places are in the peachtree mall most of time.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

I myself havnt actually been to Atlant but this webiste has never steered me wrong in looking for some excellent food in the past while visiting other areas around the world :p

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Andy, It's actually the Varsity :) but yeah a must try while in Atlanta. It's not too far from the dome, a minute or two on MARTA.

Check out their site: http://www.thevarsity.com/.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

"The Victory?" Do you perhaps mean "The Varsity?" The Varsity is awesome. They have lots of good hamburgers and hot dogs and stuff like that. MAke sure you get a frozen orange drink or a chocolate shake.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

You might want to go to the hard rock cafe (like 1 block from the marriot marquis if you are staying there) and also the coca cola factory is supposed to be pretty cool...although the adults may not consider coke a meal...

Waffle House. :D

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Hey gwross, great to meet you in LA! I was the guy who took this picture

The Varsity is a must while in Atlanta, not too far from GA Dome and fairly close to GATech. Waffle House is a plus as well. See y'all there!

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

I hear the peaches are good.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

haha

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

In the CNN center, there's this REALLY good sandwhich place.....its got some forgien name.......it's REALLY good

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Ah, Food Network and Alton Brown, watching him now... err... back on topic.

384 WILL be in the Underground for dinner numerous nights. We also are planning on checking out Coke for the drinks. I heard Beverly is pretty good if you want one from the international selection. ;)

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

mmmmmm...........foooood and COKE!!!!! The perfect thread for me! LOL is there any good coffee other than Starbucks in the CNN Centre/close to OMNI hotel? Unfortunately, there is no TIM HORTON'S :mad:

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

I was told "If you're going to the South they have Chick Fillet. BEST FAST FOOD CHICKEN IN THE WORLD. It is not an option, you MUST have it."

So, are there any Chick Fillets down in Atlanta?

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

It's actually called Chick-fil-A. Indiana has a lot of them and it's the next best thing next to beef!!

Eat Mor Chikin

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

My friend said there was this chocolate bar that's really good in the States and none in Canada... It's call "Almond Joy" I think... Is there any in Atlanta?

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

It's all over the US. You can find them in convenience stores, gas stations, and other places they sell candy bars.

As for best fast food, Chick-fil-a is ok, but Chipotle is the best. :)

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Anyone mention the sweet iced tea yet? Two things are making me go down to ATL next week--Nationals (of course) and the sweet iced tea. Last time I had at least 1-2 cups of it per day (over a span of 7 days), and when I got home, I was on a sugar high for I don't know how long afterwards. Go sweet iced tea! And then there's Chick-Fil-A (best chicken ever) and Milo's is good too (although I don't know if there are any Milo's down in ATL). ::starts drooling:: Can't wait can't wait can't wait! :D

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Hinkel man, almond joy can be found in canada too.. lol and you arent missing too much

now someone tell me.. please let there be NO big boy restaurant chains in georgia?.. im pretty sure they are spread out across only 3 or 4 states.. so here's hoping

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Yeah my team will end up goin to OCB(old country buffet) like always. Last year in stl and chicgo we went there adn then again this year in chicago we went there. hopefully we dont have one near by so we dont have to eat it again!!

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Made by the Peter Paul company which is located about 10-15 miles from where I live.

Anywho.. HOOTERS!! Underground Atlanta, be there or be square!! It's a good luck restaurant this year for my team.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

hmmm. I wonder if Georgia has any Golden Corrals. we don't have any in Jersey, but last year on my band/choir trip to Disney, we bussed down and no matter what state we were in, we ate at a Golden Corral (for all 6 days...breakfast and dinner..minus two dinners)...and the setup was the same in every one..and the food tasted exactly the same too. man...it was crazy.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

The one place i have to find is Waffle House. I havn't seen a Waffle House since i moved from Mississippi to Maryland. mmmmmm waffles...

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

http://www.wafflehouse.com/cities/maryland.html
There are Waffle House's in Maryland (I could've sworn I've seen them there before).

Matt

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Thanks but, that is no where close to where i am.
Southern Maryland, St Marys County.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Try some southern soul food? :D It'll be delicious...

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Yes, we have tons of Chick-fil-a's. We also have Golden Corrals. Sweet Iced Tea. Lots of Krispy Kremes (Ummmmmm...... Doughnuts).

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

any dunkin donuts? i need my caffeine fix every morning... and no flavored coffees

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

I found krispy kreme donuts!!! just look for the red star on the map.
Hope this helps.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

What place has the best coffee? Unfortunately there's no Tim Horton's but I still need my coffee in the morning! What is better? Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts or anything else?

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

There always is starbucks if you dont have a problem with it :)

Cory

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

in my personal opinion, I think Dunk's is the best. why? well, even though krispy kreme doughnuts are good, they are A) not filling B) there is not as much of a variety there than at dunks. then when you take dunks vs. starbucks, i prefer dunk's again because A) price/volume of coffee B) when you order coffee, the guy doesnt ask you "which flavor." you get coffee flavored coffee, as black as it gets. :)

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

If you want to argue KK vs DD, go here,
There are plenty of both vendors in the Atlanta area, and as for coffee, I thin Starbucks is the best you'll find, there aren't any other specialized coffee shops.

As to Soul Food(tm), I believe there's a place on 14th street called the Country Kitchen that has good suthen food (thre are probably multiple places called the Country Kitchen in Georgia, but any would fill this niche) though I must warn you that, like The Varsity, grease and fat are probably important ingredients in everything they'd serve.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

And there should also be coffee in the hotel rooms. YUCK. LOL

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

HOOTERS!! If i remember correctly...its either in or right next to underground atlanta.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

It's in underground atlanta, i went
Nothing like going to Hooters on a youth group trip :) the congregation loved that one;)

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

But it is the best place to get wings.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

If there is a sushi restaunt near the competition site or my hotel, then I would be more than happy. As for a caffine fix, a coulple Mountain Dews in the AM has always given me the boost I need to start out the day. Even though I do tend to get a few headaches in the afternoon from fluctuating blood-sugar levels.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

My dad mentioned a few places in Atlanta that he thought were pretty cool, unfortunately I can't remember the names exactly.

One is in the CNN building, its this english pub called something pub. He said if you want real English food, its good.

Then the second he mentioned is a place, I think he said its in underground Atlanta, is something down the hatch. Its like a jazz place in a big boat or something. haha.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Where i come from we call that stuff bait.
I like my sushi southern fried.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Sorry, I come from the west coast, were all the big regionals should be.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

Yeah, Evan, that'd be Dante's Down the Hatch, a restaurant themed as a pirate ship (the building is a ship) but it's not in Underground, it's on Peachtree Street (more information here). Apparently they have very good food there as well (good enough for some of my friends to be going there for dinner before Prom).

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

I'm looking forward to some good old southern fried chicken, mmm mmm mmm

Are there any Po' Folks down there? I miss there fried okra.

They might not even be around anymore this was a long time ago.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

That sounds like some real food.

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?
 

It's a family restaurant, they do have kids menu's available if you ask nicely! :D
