Quick Summary: Often called the American South’s new foodie capital, Atlanta is home to some of the best food in the country. Many of the restaurants are award-winning and recognized nationally by the Food Network and other establishments. While famed for their Italian food and favorites such as the Texas fries or banana pudding, it’s the Southern barbecue joints that are really worth praising. Other than burgers and fried chicken, Atlanta visitors should definitely spend some time trying the award-winning rib tips, turkey legs and slow-cooked pulled pork.
