The Southern states are known for barbecue, fried chicken, and sweet tea, and DeKalb County, part of the Atlanta Metro area, puts its own spin on these and other Southern favorites. Plus, with an extremely diverse population along the Buford Highway, you’ll find some of the best authentic ethnic dishes, many with a Southern twist. DeKalb County’s take on Southern classics results in dishes that are extra rich, extra sweet, and oh so delicious.
While attending a travel writing conference in DeKalb County, the city hosted a food tour of the area. These are some of the delicious eats I discovered.
