Best of Atlanta: Best Hotdog

The Varsity (7 ATL Locations) Oral Pleasures, Readers

Neon lights. Polished chrome. Coca-Cola red trim. A Braves game blares at one end of the room. A disheveled dude mumbles every other word by the sportscaster. It’s not just the wiener that makes the Varsity our favorite dog pound, it’s the stuff that surrounds it. A perfectly hot, soft bun. An ooze of chili or slaw. (Alternatively, they’re $1.09 “naked.”) You face forward in a schoolroom desk, watch the TV and bite through the juicy pink center of an all-American concoction. You grin and say to yourself, “This is not health food.” More at Best Hotdog
