Things To Do In Atlanta

Southern Dining: New School vs. Old School

The south is known for its’ butter-drenched, deep-fried and biscuit-battered “clean your plate” culinary tradition. And while old Southern dives and flashy new fine dining spots usually don’t share a lot in common, a new crop of high-end Southern eateries have surprisingly fused the two together. So whether you like the simplicity of the Silver Skillet, or the white tablecloths of Restaurant Eugene, we’ve got both sides covered.

Gastrorgasms: When Food Is Better Than Sex

Usually we give food and sex just about equal standing on the pleasure- o-meter. After all, great sex is yummy and great food is undeniably sexy. But sometimes, food wins out and, uh, takes the proverbial cake. Here, eight locals dish on where they go for foods that hit the (G) spot.

5 to Try: Pork Belly

Let’s be honest. Pork belly might not sound like something most of us would see on a menu and immediately spring for. One bite of this well-marbled and tender swine, however, will make even the most questionable a believer. We’ve found five unique spots around town that all use this hot ingredient in different ways.

5 to Try: Pimento Cheese

For many years, Georgia’s premier pimento cheese was slathered on two slices of white bread, wrapped in green wax paper and served during the Masters Tournament every April. With the rise of New Southern cuisine in Atlanta, however, the delicious snack has started to making more frequent, less traditional appearances on menus around town. Check these five spots dishing unique takes on the South’s famous spread.
