The Scene
Nearly quashed by Olympic ''progress,'' this hometown favorite survived Centennial Park and relocated to Sweet Auburn. All done up in industrial strength white, with a steamy centerpiece cafeteria line, this popular lunch hour destination is equally popular with attorneys, sliderule types from Tech and grimy transmission surgeons. A Coke cooler, a dingy black-and-white portable, and large plate glass windows are the chief features of this humbly decorated restaurant.
The Food
Dark meat special or pork chops? Rice and gravy or mac and cheese? Collard greens or limas? Sweet potato pie or pineapple upside-down cake? These are the tough dilemmas of this consistently good soul food. The fried chicken's worth a trip, as are the vegetables (don't be shy about ordering a vegetable plate--it's a local favorite).
