"When you’re showing visiting friends a taste of Atlanta fried chicken, Hop's in the touristy Ponce City Market is a smart go-to. The chicken here is the prototypical example of what good fried chicken should be—snappy breaded skin surrounding moist, fresh-tasting meat. You can buy your chicken as a single piece (thigh, breast, or drum) or as a half- or full-bird order. We suggest pairing it with a soft Parker House roll for a quick lunchtime fix. Just skip the regrettably bland sides (nasty cole slaw and tasteless mac and cheese), and search the food hall for side dishes elsewhere. We suggest fries from H&F Burger or a salad from Bibi." - jacinta howard
