Over the past year, the Atlanta food truck scene has had its hurdles. Wrought with permit issues, parking violations, and simply finding a conducive area to sell their back seat treats has been a daunting task. But never count out the little guy.
It’s hard to believe that we’re less than a month away from the 2nd Annual Atlanta Food & Wine Festival. The inaugural Atlanta Food & Wine Festival was the ultimate food festival litmus test.

Leave it to one of my favorite New Yorkers in Atlanta, Ron “The Angry Chef” Eyester, to stir up a battle over the best fried chicken in Atlanta. But there is a good purpose, and that is uniting Atlantans in the singular mission of celebrating this Southern staple with the first local festival dedicated to fried chicken – the Mother Clucker Fried Chicken Festival. On Saturday, March 31 from 2 – 6 p.m. Atlanta’s best chefs will fire up the fryers and present their best breaded work in a tented lot next to Rosebud in Morningside. Participating chefs will be encouraged to work with any part of the chicken and challenged to produce their own unique interpretation of fried chicken.
