Everyone’s Talking About These Restaurants on Social Media Right Now
A new Nashville hot chicken spot, Cuban sandwiches served out of a tiny home, and a collaboration between an Inman Park and Buford Highway mainstay that we didn’t know we needed–these are the restaurants taking center stage on social media right now!
Scoville Hot Chicken
Justin Lim, the owner of Okiboru Tsukemen and Ramen, first fell in love with Nashville fried chicken when a fried chicken spot opened up near his original restaurant location in L.A. After being hooked on the unique spice and flavors, he then went on to sample fried chicken all over L.A. and Nashville. Now he’s perfected his very own recipe and he’s bringing these flavors to his new spot in Sandy Springs that’s all about the art of spice and fried chicken. Get it to-go, dine-in, on their patio, or for delivery!
Joy Cafe
Joy Cafe has long been a staple of the Atlanta brunch scene. But did you know they’ve recently expanded to include a totally scrumptious dinner service? Their comforting dishes of pork chops and fried chicken are the best of Southern hospitality and one drink in particular is getting tons of buzz on social media: the First Class Cocktail. Sit at their new bar to enjoy the the theatrics of this smokey drink! If dining out is not your thing right now, no sweat–they’ve also got fantastic food to go and their fried green tomato tarts, cookies & milk pie, and buttermilk fried chicken all taste just as fantastic at home.
