Tucked away in downtown Atlanta, Flavor Rich serves up mouthwatering elevated comfort food like peach cobbler French toast and lobster thermidor amidst a vibrant, R&B-infused atmosphere.
"Beyoncé, Slash, Big Boi, and Andre 3000 are just a few of the Black music icons that look down on you with approval while you enjoy moist, sweet waffles and crackly fried chicken tenders at Flavor Rich's downtown location. But unlike a lot of brunch spots with celeb-plastered walls, great food overpowers cutesy trends here. The food truck-turned-restaurant fills up on weekends, so get there before 10-ish to beat the brunch bunch. Order the french toast flight, which really sets the bar for future french toast expectations. You get four pieces of sweet batter-dipped bread, each with a delicious topping like sweet blueberry with cream cheese icing or thick, moist red velvet cake. And if you go for a drink like the blood orange margarita, expect it to be strong enough to make you think you can sing like the icons on the wall. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Food Rundown video credit: Jacinta Howard French Toast Flight You get four mini-pieces of flavored french toast, which could be anything from a dense red velvet cake with cream cheese drizzle or caramelized banana foster with brown sugar and cinnamon. Be prepared to roll with whatever the chef is feeling since you can’t pick your flavors. But trust that they will be gorgeously plated (with a decorative flower and a swirly dollop of velvety whipped cream in the middle) and delicious. Potatoes You can tell a lot about a brunch spot by their potato game. Here, they’re a winner. You get new potatoes halved and crisp-edged, covered in herby seasoning. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Chicken & Waffles The chicken fingers you get with this dish are so crispy and flavorful you could order them as a standalone. But the waffles are light, fluffy and slightly sweet, even without syrup, so why would you do that? Blood Orange Margarita You could start your car with this margarita. You might want to flag down the waiter for some extra juice, unless your plan is to Bankhead bounce your way out the door." - Jacinta Howard
"Unlike a lot of brunch spots with celeb-plastered walls (hello, Lemonade-Beyoncé and Andre 3000), stellar food overpowers cutesy trends at Flavor Rich. The food truck-turned-restaurant fills up on weekends with people looking to have a good, sceney brunch with R&B as their soundtrack, so make a reservation. The four-piece french toast flight sets the bar, with sweet batter-dipped bread that has toppings like blueberries with cream cheese icing and thick, moist red velvet cake pieces. And if you go for a drink like the blood orange margarita, expect it to be strong enough to make you think you can sing like the icons on the wall." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
