Restaurants - Atlanta, GA

The Soul Vegetarian is a restaurant at the top of my list for Best in the country. It has locations in more cities, like Washington DC, but the main one in Atlanta is unbelievably good. That location is 879-A Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. SW. It is run by a group of Old Testament followers known as "Black Hebrews". They have a literal view of the Biblical Story of Creation and of the "Fall". They believe that in a perfect world ALL peoples are vegetarian and point to several passages in the Old Testament to prove their view that meat-eating was brought on because of the "Fall" of Humanity. As for food, this place rocks. They make their own Gluten, which they call Kalebone. They prepare it in a traditional Southern way, with Collard Greens, Mashed Potatoes, Cornbread, etc... I got a BBQ Kalebone steak which was phenomenal! They also produce homemade Soycream; they have several flavors, but it is BETTER than Ice Cream. I highly recommend this place whenever you are near the 5 Points area of Atlanta; or if you are near Howard University in Downtown Washington DC. Apparently they now have restaurants in Chicago, Charleston, and Tallahassee. Another plus is that they take their time; do not expect rapid service as they believe being laid back and "going with the flow" are virtues. They do not preach, but will talk at length about their Religious decision to forego meat if you ask. GO HERE!!!!!!!! www.soulvegetarian.com 404-752-5194
