Anyone who braved the long lines at the Prince Ave. Popeye s in 2019 to get one of their highly-publicized spicy chicken sandwiches was there for the beginning of what became known as the chicken sandwich wars.
Not to be outdone, nearly every fast food chain from McDonald s to KFC came up with their own entry into the fray, and Zaxby s recently added theirs to the menu.
Now, a downtown Athens spot has joined the conversation.
Co-owned by Athens resident Frank Hallum, the Clayton St. Wing Zone location now offers a 1/2-pound beast called the Colossal Chicken Sandwich. Seasoned with one of the restaurant s 3 dry rubs and coated in one of their 18 assorted wing sauces, the Colossal makes no attempt to fit on the bun, and is recommended for serious appetites only.
Dahlonegaâs Smith House satisfies hunger for history
History and food collide at Dahlonegaâs Smith House
If you re hungry for good food and fascinating history, the Smith House in north Georgia serves up plenty of both.
DAHLONEGA, Ga. - On the list of things we love here at Good Day Atlanta, good food and fascinating history are both near the top. And with a quick trip into the North Georgia mountains, we found a place that satisfies our hunger for both.
The Smith House is a fixture of the Dahlonega Square, featuring a historic inn with more than a dozen rooms, a recently-built lodge with nearly two dozen rooms, nearby villas and cottages available to visitors, and a family-style restaurant serving up the goods since 1922. The history of the property stretches back even further when it was purchased by Captain Frank Hall in the late 1800s; during construction of the house, Hall discovered a gold and quartz vein running under the building more on that in a minute!
