September 23, 2012 by 510foodie No Comments

Southern Fried Chicken: Atlanta Style

April 8, 2012 by 510foodie No Comments
My favorite meal in Atlanta was my first meal. An early and long flight meant I didn’t want to wander too far from my hotel to have dinner. I discovered Sway which is a restaurant inside the Hyatt Regency, which is where I was staying in Downtown Atlanta. I made my same day Open Table...
