Miller Union chef Steven Satterfield and general manager Neal McCarthy have helped reimagine what it means to be a "Southern restaurant" since opening the doors to their Westside restaurant in 2009. Now, they're celebrating with a party at Westside Warehouse.

Atlanta would be a lesser town without Busy Bee, which provided sustenance to Civil Rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr.

The Colonnade still serves turkey and dressing every day of the week and has held its ground on an otherwise fluctuating strip of Cheshire Bridge Road since 1962. Or for a cafeteria-style Southern meal, head to Matthews Cafeteria in Tucker.

They come back to the Colonnade.”
