Whenever possible on business trips, I try to avoid things that I can have at anytime at home. This put me into a bit of quandary of what to do in Atlanta, as technically I also live in the South, so some good old hometown cooking was not something new. There are a few dishes which seem to turn out better here, so we still went for some good old homestyle Southern cooking anyway. Based on the recommendations, we chose the South City Kitchen, which technically was in Midtown not the South part of the city. The drive was very easy up Peachtree to Midtown, and parking was ample around the area. We were greeted at the door by the restaurant manager/ maitre d. As we were dining on a Monday night, the room was virtually ours to ourselves, and the service was very attentive. Our waiter was knowledgeable on the food choices for the evening, and guided a couple recommendations through very easily. We took his suggestion of the Fried Green Tomatoes as a starter, and enjoyed a delicious home style biscuit while waiting for the appetizer. The tomatoes were delicious with a nice breading, lightly fried, and with a nice tomato sauce that had some tang to it. My co-worker and I both went for the fried chicken, and he opted for a cup of chicken soup first. The fried chicken was great, with a nice crispy skin and breading as well as a nice juicy bite to the meat. It was accompanied with buttermilk mashed potatoes and green beans, although I would recommend ordering one or two of their famous sides to accompany the main meal. I went with the collard greens and cauliflower mac and cheese for a nice home style fare, and both were tasty. The greens had a little spice to them, so I did not have to add hot sauce as I normally do, and the mac and cheese used a great alternative to traditional american or cheddar, although I am not sure I could place which cheese was used. It might have been a Gorgonzola, but I could not be sure. Finally, as if the rest was not enough to set me into a caloric coma, we chose to try the Pecan Pie with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. This was drizzled with a caramel sauce and lived up to the hype of Southern Pecan Pie. Overall, I can definitely give this place the ultimate seal of approval for me, and will likely come back soon. Don't miss this place!

South City Kitchen--(Southern with a modern twist) outstanding shrimp & grits!! The Beautiful Restaurant in Sweet Auburn offers home cooking like macaroni & cheese, greens, red velvet cake, and >sweet< banana pudding, all washed down with a sweet tea SO sweet it sets your teeth on edge! Cherry is *outstanding* Asian fusion. 10 Degrees South offers South African food, which is an enticing mix of African, Asian, South Asian, and European influences. Try the piri-piri chicken (spicy), boboties, melktert (sort of like a chess pie), or if you're adventurous, ostrich! The atmosphere is relaxing, the South African music is lively, and you can try a South African wine. Anne and Bill's is a great Southern place for lunch--try the 'dirty bird' sandwich with a piece of sweet potato pie. Harold's is a terrific place for barbecue. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The food in this restaurant exceeded all expectations. I found it by chance and I would have to say that it is the best restaurant I have been to in my travels. Highly recommended (and fairly prices as well).
Caeser Salad and the vegetarian plate. Leave a Comment
