Angie and Sams Guidebook for O4W Atlanta
Food Scene
This is our favorite breakfast / lunch spot in Atlanta. Brisket, tofu scramble, & anything chef has on the specials menu is delish. Get there at 8 on weekends or you will be waiting a long worth it wait! Its a small space so bring a jacket or umbrella for the wait outside if its cold or rainy.

Chicken tikka wrap or the paneer tikka wrap if you are a veggie! They have Indian snacks and boozy slushies also. If you like an adventurous non-alcoholic drink try the pineapple tumeric soda.
