Atlanta: 2020 - The Food Enthusiast’s Complete Restaurant Guide
()
About this ebook
There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.
But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.
This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.
“Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.
For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.
Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.
Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.
Bon Appétit!

There’s no city that can lay a greater claim to represent what used to be termed the New South
than the city of Atlanta.
It was burned down in the Civil War (or as my Fifth Grade teacher Mrs. McCutcheon sternly reminded me in the 1960s, the War of Northern Aggression
) during General Sherman’s famous March to the Sea,
and to this day remains the only major American city completely annihilated by war. Sherman burned all the railroad depots, uprooted the tracks, burned every business to the ground and for good measure to show that he meant it, burned down two-thirds of the private homes.
Perhaps that’s why Atlanta’s resurgence so captured the imagination. When it became the home of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Atlanta took on yet another level of symbolic importance.
Non-natives are familiar if not with Atlanta itself, then surely with its huge airport. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the world's busiest airport, with more than 88 million annual passengers. (By comparison, London’s Heathrow only has 64 million people passing through it.)
Hosting the Olympics in 1996 gave Atlanta an international profile and drove many upgrades to the city. The MARTA public transport system is efficient and a major addition to the city’s infrastructure. The World Congress Center
