Where to Eat in Athens, Home to the University of Georgia
"Chef Hugh Acheson sold Five and Ten, his flagship restaurant (and the last of his restaurants in Georgia), to Peter Dale (The National, Condor Chocolates, Maepole) back in April, and clearly it was the right choice. Dale got his start there, and is maintaining the restaurant’s legacy as it approaches its 25th year. Five and Ten remains one of the best upscale Southern restaurants in Georgia, if not the entire region. In 2020, William Cantrell returned to Athens after a five-year stint working in Atlanta at Staplehouse and Miller Union to help run Five and Ten as its executive chef." - Sarra Sedghi
