One step inside this Andersonville classic and you might just think you’re in the Deep South. And that’s in no small part thanks to chef and co-owner Paul Fehribach, who offers an uncompromising take on that region’s culinary treasures. Think deviled crawfish cakes, fried chicken, and Bourbon bread pudding, among others. Pro tip: Don’t miss brunch so you can try Fehribach’s biscuit sandwich, which was the winning dish that beat Bobby Flay.
