16 Great Black-Owned Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"The chef team (who helped put One Flew South on the map) made their grand return to Atlanta with Southern National, which joins a collection of new shops and restaurants in the historic Summerhill community. Occupying an old building, the restaurant feels like it’s been here for decades, serving red fish and pan biscuits to a generation who lived through Henry “Hank” Aaron’s historic feats across the street. Yet, their dining room’s sleek glass, brick, and steel industrial look keeps things in the present. And the kitchen blends the nostalgia of soul staples with enjoyable newness like the field peas that get a salty-sweet assist from miso sauce. While you get the same caramelly flavors of yams, their loaded sweet potato takes an exciting turn with ground lamb and creamy curry yogurt." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
