Atl People Need Your Advice
What's up ATL, I'll be visiting you guys next week Monday thru Thursday for BMW classes. I'll be staying in Roswell @ the Doubletree Hilton, so far everyone is saying that I should try Gladys Knight's Chicken & Waffles, and to go visit the Aquarium? Any other cool suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Charlie McKenna BMW |

I do live in the ATL and you'd be hard pressed to find a better culinary city in the world. That might be a surprise to some but you'll find Atlanta eats to be awesome. If you want something more swanky try Bistro Niko or Chops. I'm sure you've heard of the Varsity and if you like hotdogs and onion rings it's a great place with a lot of history. As said above the coke museum and the aquarium are great attractions. What sort of classes do you have to come to Atlanta for?

I have lived here for 30 years but have never had chicken and waffles. You will be a good bit out of the city but there are some good places to eat out in Roswell. Joey Ds Oak Room has some good grub. If you make it down into the city I suggest Fox Bros bbq or Daddy D's the BBQ Joynt.
If you are going to be here on the 4th that will be Caffeine and Octane Sunday. Huge car show up in Alpharetta. Definitely worth a check out. The Atlanta M clubs represent well normally. Only about 15-20 mins from where you'll be. Now hide an ESS in your bag for me |

I just don't get it.. What's so good about Chicken and waffle? I've been to Roescoe's and wasn't impressed.. Is that place in ATL better than the others? Check out Coke place in downtown and stone mtn?

The combo itself is just amazing if done right. It all just works (the chicken/hot sauce, waffle/syrup combo)

But the Buckhead Diner makes Chicken Fried Chicken over a Biscuit w/ Sausage Gravy for brunch on Sundays. Now that's some amazing stuff right there. |

You really could go on and on about cool ATL restaurants. I think there are a couple that were voted best burger in America. I don't get the chicken and waffles thing either and haven't been to that restaurant although it is pretty popular here. If you do come down into Buckhead for a night out you will find many great restaurants like Buckhead Diner as mentioned above. I ate there a couple days ago. Great burger. It is the same company that owns the restaurants I mentioned above. They also happen to be one of my bigger clients so I eat at their restaurants regularly. If you are more into a bohemian hippy seen then hit Virginia Highlands or Little 5 Points which are great unique areas of town. There is a place called Rosebud(named after Jerry Garcia's guitar) that is a farm to table restaurant in Virginia Highlands. They have the best fried chicken you will ever eat. I hope you enjoy your visit. I think you'll be able to leave the guns at home. I do. Although I've got the option to pack them if I want which I like.

Are you free during the day or in classes all day. One lap of America is going to be at Atlanta Motorsports Park on Tuesday from 8-12.
