I’m just curious are these Gatekeepers from Atlanta or are they ppl who has moved here from different states? Because truthfully really there are a few ppl here that are actually from Atlanta.

[@gapeach14]

Freaknik fucked ATL up lol...I bet if you looked at sixty percent of the black people walking around Atlanta birth certificate it want say birthplace was somewhere in the state of GA lol

[@Gee-xb7rt]

People from all over the South move here, and locals move out.

Gabbana Beauchamp OK AND I said that because outside of the ppl I know from here and my family. Many people I’ve met are not from the A. They’re from all over. It’s not that many ppl you meet that will say I’m from Atlanta.

[@getter7seven]

An odd one to go on top of PCM but not actually inside for the contrast vs O4W or even getting into the Beltline shaking things up for good or ill or somewhere like Buford Highway---perhaps the least amount of food seen on any of these to date, even if the sole meal had some well populated trays to it.

[@Gee-xb7rt]

@@quanamckinney519 I usually take people to Tassili's Raw Reality, its run by Itals in West End, they film a lot of rap videos in that area. there is a Ital donut place around the corner too. Its an experience you won't soon forget, you can find a few reviews on here. Ponce City Market that is in this video has a food hall. You can rent a scooter or bike from there and go down the Beltline (a big sidewalk) to Krog Street Market, another food hall. Krog Street has better food. Downtown is the Sweet Auburn Curb Market, most of the stuff there is open Mon-Fri only. Atlanta does brunch, everyone goes out and it can be hard to get a table. My favorite upscale brunch is Poor Calvin's, my favorite downscale brunch is Ria's Bluebird. Ria's is right by Oakland Cemetery, a historic cemetery here, so you can walk off the pancakes. Currently there is a lot going into East Point/College Park, down by the Airport. I don't get that way much but there is a Cajun place there, Louisana Bistreaux, and Virgil's Gullah, which is about as Southern as you get. Octopus Bar in the video is supposed to be good, its in East Atlanta Village, that neighborhood is much attitude for me. EATS is not that good, its quantity over quality.

[@BUTTERFLY75ful]

No you dont , I live here, it’s expensive for no reason , it’s trashy af , so over crowded you can’t get anywhere in a decent amount of time. Some parts are nice like Buckhead or Atlantic station, but the west size or east side, be carful where go cause you’ll probably get robbed and followed by homeless people begging for money . I would stay where ever you live at , OR go ANYWHERE else.

[@samantharogers3010]

Julie Wanzer people like you have ruined this city. Buckhead is trash don’t go there unless you want to get roofied or you need to buy and engagement ring. Atlantic station is literally a mall filled with chain stores?? You can find it anywhere. Trash ass opinion move back to New England please.

I don’t like hearing New Orleans accents unless I’m actually in New Orleans. I would never watch a tv show or video with a host having a NO accent. Having said that, I clicked because I’ve lived in ATL for over 30 years (not old, I moved as a child). They could have chosen better food spots. Eats? Sure it’s been around forever, but is it really an institution? I would have liked to see more established joints (old school Atlanta).
