The Best Restaurants in Athens, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"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), and it was the right choice. Dale got his start there and is maintaining the restaurant’s legacy as it completes its 25th year. Five and Ten remains one of the best upscale Southern restaurants in Georgia, if not the entire region, with alumni chefs including William Cantrell from Atlanta’s Staplehouse and Miller Union. Be sure to try the cast iron cornbread with fennel pollen and the seared pork collar with a chili jam from the current menu." - Sarra Sedghi
