When posting my favorite restaurants, I forgot all about Mary Macs Tea Room in Atlanta. I grew up there during college. Perhaps the best food in the world. Like all classic southern restaurants, you write down your own order, and the waitress comes and picks it up. After a particularly hard test at Tech, my room mate and I would go down to Mary Macs and enjoy a few beers and a great dinner.
The picture is Cindy's 4 piece chicken dinner, with butter beans and collards. Even the vegetables at Mary Macs are not vegetarian. Pork goes in most everything, even the cornbread to soak up the pot licker (water left over from cooking greens) has fried pork in it.
I stuck with a traditional broiled trout. Years ago they served it with the head on and it was actually much better then.
Mrs Lupo (the previous owner) has passed but I remember her checking us out as we paid, and somehow she knew we were students and sometimes gave us a care package of some cornbread to take back home.

If Cindy keeps eating like that she's not going to fit in that bridesmaid dress at the 50th anniversary party.
