We asked six top local chefs to share the Atlanta dish they wish they created. Robert Butts, chef/co-owner of Auburn Angel, said: “Miss Ann’s Ghetto Burger [from Ann’s Snack Bar in Kirkwood] was an Atlanta classic. The shack closed years ago, but this burger still stands the test of time to Atlanta natives.”

“Atlanta isn’t easily defined, and I think the more you try to define it, the less you're going to enjoy it," Andrew Zimmern says while touring the city in his new show, The Zimmern List.

“There’s very few places up and down this strip that [our customers] can get the kind of burger that they get here. They can find a McDonald’s, they can find a Burger King, but that’s not the same thing, and that’s what they tell us every day.”

Last April, the fiery-tempered face of the restaurant who kept customers in line, kicking out anyone who broke her rules, passed. In her place, Ann’s sister, Josephine Culver, and her three brothers stepped in to keep the restaurant going.
