Street food is a huge hit in Atlanta…and it’s technically not even legal. Between the Urban Picnics at Sweet Auburn Curb Market, Street Food Thursdays in Midtown and Food Truck Fridays at Atlantic Station, and Souper Jenny’s Super Secret Underground Food Truck Extravaganzas (not to mention numerous other opportunities to sample the delicious wares from [...]
