Don’t Order The Burger At The Varsity Until You’ve Tried A Frosted Orange

A burger might explain the lunch stop, but a Frosted Orange gives this Atlanta tradition a different starting point. At a restaurant with roots reaching back to 1928, the smartest first order is not always the one that seems most obvious, especially when one signature drink has earned its own shorthand.

A hot dog of a good time: Wienermobile visits Locust Grove

Kroger’s Locust Grove Marketplace grand opening on Nov. 6 attracted more than officials, customers and company executives. The 27-foot-long Oscar Mayer Wienermobile joined the festivities on its national tour. Caroline McCallar, known as 'Cookout Caroline,' and Norah Martin, known as 'Nacho Dog Norah,' are the Wienermobile's copilots. The duo visited Locust Grove on Nov. 6 and Nov. 8, attracting approximately 1,000 visitors. People stopped by before school and work, lining up early in the morning to see the Wienermobile. Kroger’s mascots were a part of the fun and climbed inside the Wienermobile, too. “People were thrilled to see the Wienermobile in town,” they said. “Many folks mentioned that they were surprised to see it in Locust Grove and had never seen it in person before. It's not every day you see a 27-foot-long hot dog on wheels.” McCallar and Martin have been driving around since June 2026 and Georgia is the 14th state they have visited. They visit a different city each week. The trip to Georgia was a homecoming of sorts for McCallar, a Cumming native who relished the opportunity to bring the Wienermobile to her home state. “Being able to share the Wienermobile with my close friends and

The Most Legendary Desserts You Can Order Across The South—From Cakes To Cobblers

In the South, we don't play around when it comes to dessert. Our layer cakes are the tallest, our pies are the flakiest, and our portions are the largest. That's why so many iconic sweets were either born here, or made famous in our region, like this list of famous desserts from Southern restaurants. All of these places are notable—many have won national and local awards—but their desserts are what draw people from around the country, and even the world. Customers know they'll be ordering these dishes, whether it's Key lime pie in Key West or the best peach cobbler in Atlanta, before they even walk through the door. And believe us, these legends truly live up to the hype.

Cheeseburger slider restaurant opens in Acworth

A new cheeseburger slider restaurant opened its doors in Acworth Wednesday. Smalls Sliders opened its new location located at 3240 North Cobb Parkway. It is the slider restaurant’s third location in Georgia and second in Cobb County, following the one in Marietta located at 2355 Windy Hill Road. Smalls serves fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders along with waffle fries, shakes, queso dip and its house sauce. It offers walk-up ordering windows and drive-thru service rather than a traditional indoor area. The restaurant has a distinct modular design built from orange shipping containers. “We’ve seen firsthand the enthusiasm that Smalls Sliders brings to the communities it serves, and we’re proud to continue growing the brand’s presence in Georgia,” franchisee Rocky Moore said. “Building on the momentum of our Marietta location, we see tremendous opportunity to introduce even more guests to the Smalls experience. "We look forward to becoming part of the Acworth community, creating local jobs and serving up the fresh, cooked-to-order sliders that have made this brand a fan favorite.”

This Old-Fashioned Georgia Bakery Has Been Serving Homemade Pies And Southern Sweets For Decades

Some of the best pies in metro Atlanta started out as a secret. For years, a steakhouse and other big-name restaurants served them without most diners knowing who baked them. That baker eventually opened her doors to the public. She did it right inside the warehouse district where she was already rolling out crusts for her wholesale clients.

Burgers with Buck: BeetleCat

Burgers with Buck visits BeetleCat in Inman Park, where chef Ford Fry makes the case for the tavern burger: a neighborhood-style burger that falls between a smash burger and a steakhouse burger. It’s made with chuck-brisket beef, Duke’s mayonnaise, American cheese and onion on a potato roll, and is served medium rare unless requested otherwise. Despite BeetleCat’s seafood and oyster-bar specialties, Buck says this is one burger you shouldn’t sleep on.
