Hungover on Sunday after the game? Go to the Varsity
So Robert mentions it in his blog and his ESPN article, but I just had to add an extra plug for The Varsity. It's an Atlanta tradition that I enjoyed growing up there - not sure if it's myth or truth but the guy who founded The Varsity was kicked out of Tech, so he vowed to make a fortune off of Tech. He's certainly done that and then some.
Eating at The Varsity is like no other experience I've found. From ordering confidently in the local lingo (PC = pure chocolate i.e. chocolate milk; FO = frosted orange drink; naked steak = plain hamburger), to the hats and the straws that are great for rolling up and popping (and the wrappers that you can put a drop of water on so they snake around). The Onion Rings are my absolute favorite in the world.
Just found a classic video of ordering at the Varsity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJD3_1k3rps
Go on Sunday with your hangover from Saturday night.
Go Dawgs. (there's also a Varsity in Athens)
