MOE’S BROADWAY BAGEL
We still love our Moe’s Bagels after all these years. It could be the fresh baked, chewy garlic bagel smeared with house-made artichoke Parmesan cream cheese. We always look forward to Moe’s sandwiches: egg, sausage and Swiss in the a.m., or a toasted Reuben with a big cookie for lunch. Our change-of-pace treat is the first-class stuffed burrito.
GEORGIA BOYS BBQ CO.
Started by two native Peach State sons in 2011, Georgia Boys wins your votes annually for one simple reason: the meats. Smoke-infused ribs, pork, chicken, hot links and beef can be enjoyed on mac-n-cheese bowls and
salads, over fries, in sandwiches and as a highly craveable starter. The Tennessee Sticky Pig is salty smoked pork belly cubes in maple bourbon glaze.
