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?

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?

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...

Re: What to eat in Atlanta?

The Bridgetown Grill is one of my favourites downtown (at www.bridgetowngrill.com) and as to The Varsity, I'd reccomend a chili-dog.
There are lots of good restaurants (including the Bridgetown) and generally cool places to be at Little Five Points (www.l5p.com) which is about 3 miles from the Dome/Civic Center (or just one station down by MARTA).

Can't wait to see you guys here!

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!

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.
