Maepole in Atlanta's Summerhill is the under-$15 Southern grain bowl: seared chicken or shredded pork, collards, mac, vegan and keto options on the same line.
Try: Build-your-own Southern grain bowls
Tip: Pick the shredded pork over a grain base with collards and mac and cheese. Same Summerhill block as Southern National.
Southern National in Atlanta's Summerhill runs Sunday brunch only: Duane Nutter's beignets, fried chicken biscuit and short rib hash with champagne flights.
Order: Beignets with coffee-toffee sauce and the fried chicken biscuit.
Tip: Chef Duane Nutter cooks Sundays only for brunch, so the room turns over the after-church crowd by 13:30. Reserve the 12:30 slot.
