Georgia Food Tour

Atlanta is a city rich in food history from Pecan plantations in the 1700s to the cutting-edge food scene of today. Here we explore some of the city’s best known and most revered dives – the type of restaurant where jackets aren’t required and the eats better be good.

The Varsity: An Atlanta food list just wouldn’t be complete without this venerable institution that started its nearly century-long run as a car hop joint. The Varsity specializes in hot dogs, “chiliburgers” and and crispy peach pies. Come hungry and leave your calorie counter at home.

Carver’s: A meat and three in the traditional sense, this joint serves up country cooking the way mama used to make. Specializing in the classics like banana pudding and fried chicken, Carvers is an Atlanta institution used to pleasing the masses.

Willy’s: You wouldn’t expect to find a deliciously authentic California style burrito place right in the heart of Midtown but that’s exactly what you’ll get at Willy’s. A well-guarded Atlanta secret (until now), this burrito bastion serves up cantina food with flair.

Throw the kids in the car and set your Atlanta Home security system – tonight’s the night to check out one of Atlanta’s best dives! You may leave feeling greasy and gross but it’ll all be worth it just to check one of these landmarks off your list.
