Athens Featured in the Chattanooga Times Free Press |

If you’ve been to Athens, Georgia, lately, you know it’s more than a college town. The food scene proves there’s more to this town than Georgia Bulldogs football in the fall. It’s a place where you can sample American classics as well as foods from innovative chefs that take food to a new level of flavor.
The oldest restaurants in town are still going strong. The Mayflower, serving fried chicken and other comfort foods since 1948, is but one example. New restaurants, such as ZZ & Simone’s, offering a brilliant Italian menu, have joined in to help turn this college town into a true dining destination.
“The dining scene has dramatically changed over the past 10 to 20 years, transforming from a landscape of cheap college eats and meat-and-three spots to a vibrant foodie scene full of creativity and variety,” says Shannon Dominy, communications specialist at the Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau.
