Atlanta: where you can dine with Gladys Knight and Ashton Kutcher
What it is about Atlanta that draws so many celebrity restaurants? Something in the diet?
No. Its the“mix of big city sophistication and Southern Charm,” concludes Laura Horton in an About.com guide to Atlanta.
Atlanta’s mix of big city sophistication and Southern charm has attracted many famous friends.
Specialty restaurants all over town cover every visitor craving from Italian to fried chicken. They include:
—Chicken and Waffles owned by Gladys Knight, serving “soulful comfort classics.”
—Dolce Enoteca e Ristorante owned by Ashton Kutcher and Wilmer Valderrama, offering “rich risottos and homemade pastas…the place to see and be seen.”
—Justin’s in Buckhead owned by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs featuring “Southern and Caribbean favorites."
—Straits, the inspiration of hometown hip-hop hero Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, a “chic Asian-Fusion restaurant” influenced by the flavors of Singapore.
