Atlanta, Georgia: Lunch at Mary Mac's Tea Room, 3 '14

Exterior

While Bruce and Mike were off playing golf for the day, Cheryl and I decided we wanted to visit a tea room. (we both like tea).  Cheryl's daughters recommended Mary Mac's Tea Room which is a well established landmark  in the heart of mid downtown, Atlanta.  When we arrived at 1:30 pm, the place was and people were waiting in line to be seated in one of the many spacious rooms.  The wait is worth it

 For over 70 years Mary Mac’s has been setting the standard for Southern cooking in Atlanta. While we were waiting pink limos pulled up to let out beautifully dressed women in high heels and large floppy hats.  Familys with kids in levis were in line, as well as business people, celebrities, families and world travelers were all waiting to dine at Mary Mac’s and all were made to  feel right at home. In fact, in March of 2011 The Georgia House of Representatives created Resolution 477, in which Mary Mac’s was officially declared to be Atlanta’s Dining Room.

 While we were waiting  took a peek at their menu.... SURPRISE.   There wasn't one mention of  TEA

Instead the Tea in Tearoom was referring to  the Southern Classic SWEET TEA which was being served with their classic Southern Food.

But oh was that food worth the wait.  YUMMY!  It was so food that Cheryl bought their cookbook just so that she could cook some of  their menu items at home.
