On May 31 at the Atlanta Marriott in Alpharetta, nearly two-hundred swimsuit-clad competitors gathered to flex onstage at the 4th Annual Cydney Gillon Peach Classic, one of the premier amateur bodybuilding competitions in Georgia. The show was founded in 2022 by Atlanta’s Cydney Gillon, a homegrown heroine in the world of professional bodybuilding. Gillon retired from competition in October 2024 after an eighteen-year career that she concluded by winning her eighth consecutive title at The Olympia, the crème de la crème of pro bodybuilding shows.

When quarantine first struck our house, my dad and I applied all our free time to a single mission: learning how to master the ideal murgh makhani, or butter chicken. We take our butter chicken very seriously. What started as a comfort food to order for dinner soon became a research opportunity to see how our recipe stacked up against those of nearby restaurants—and so my dad and I have sampled a good fraction of the curries in the Atlanta area. If you’re tempted to make the foray into Indian cuisine (and can’t make it to our house to try some), I highly recommend the butter chicken from one of these restaurants instead.
