in the world

The Sweet Life Use this quick-travel guide to explore the Sweet Auburn District, where historic landmarks offer a glimpse into the life of mid-century African-Americans, whose success inspired Forbes to name Auburn Avenue the richest black street in the world in 1956. 80 MINUTES IN:

Sweet Auburn District

A bustling market now stands where fire once reduced one of Atlanta’s most historic neighborhoods to dust. The Sweet Auburn Curb Market sits at the center of the historic Sweet Auburn District, which is home to a wealth of landmarks and civil rights legacies. It’s nearly impossible to experience all this district has to offer in an hour or two, so we recommend focusing on the market and its sur-

rounding streets. Stop into the market to stall-hop for a quick food tour of vendors like Arepa Mia, AfroDish and YumDiggity. Then, exit onto Edgewood Avenue and walk down Jesse Hill Drive toward Auburn Avenue. Make a left onto Auburn Avenue to explore the iconic buildings and institutions that gave this area its global acclaim in the 1950s. www.sweetauburn.com; www.thecurbmarket.com

The savvy traveler’s guide to mastering the holidays in the city

CHEF TALK

Feast Like a Pro If you ask us, there’s no better time to be an expert in the kitchen than during the feast-filled holiday season—which is precisely why we asked four local chefs how and where they like to spend their holidays in Atlanta.

OPPOSITE PAGE: BOBLIN/ISTOCK. THIS PAGE (FROM LEFT): COURTESY LINTON HOPKINS, COURTESY SWEET AUBURN BARBECUE, COURTESY BUCKHEAD LIFE RESTAURANT GROUP, COURTESY SCOTT SERPAS.

According to Chef We grilled four local gourmands about their holiday traditions (and had another give us a spicy recipe to dazzle our dinner guests)—because no time of year makes us wish we were chefs quite like the holidays.

Linton Hopkins

TREATS AND RETREATS Chef Pano Karatassos helms the kitchen at Kyma, a Mediterranean hotspot in Buckhead. Chef Karatassos works tirelessly to serve up the most exquisite octopus dish in Atlanta, so when the holidays roll around, he takes some much-needed time off with his family. “My family kicks off the holiday season by traveling together to our mountain house in the Highlands, where we cook a huge meal for Thanksgiving dinner,” says the chef. The celebrations continue in Atlanta for Christmas, where the Karatassos family partakes in a local tradition: “There’s nothing better than [our] holiday tradition of ice skating at the St. Regis and dining at Astor Court, overlooking the hotel lobby. It’s fun watching [my kids] down hot chocolate and burgers as a holiday treat, while I enjoy a glass of wine and grilled fish.” H&F HOLIDAYS ”We love the world of holiday traditions,” says Chef Linton Hopkins, who has become a magnate of sorts in Atlanta’s dining scene. Hopkins’ local footprint began with Restaurant Eugene, which is still one of the most-respected establishments in the metro region.

Joey Stallings

He has since added Holeman and Finch (with its famous burgers), H&F Burger (dedicated to those aforementioned patties) and Linton’s (the first full-service restaurant inside the Atlanta Botanical Garden) to his roll-call of restaurants. This family-oriented chef keeps things simple for the holidays: “The best place for us is at home or in one of our restaurants,” he says. “This Thanksgiving, we are having our extended family over to eat at Holeman and Finch. Roast turkey and all the fixings.” For Hopkins, that means oyster dressing, buttermilk yeast rolls and the Southern staples that are collard greens, blackeyed peas and cornbread. Lucky for us, Linton’s and Restaurant Eugene are serving special menus on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 24). A BOUNTIFUL FEAST Chef Steven Satterfield is Atlanta’s uncontested vegetable virtuoso. In fact, the awardwinning chef published a cookbook titled “Root to Leaf: A Southern Chef Cooks Through the Seasons,” based on his predilection for fresh produce. True to his reputation, Satterfield celebrates Thanksgiving by feasting on the season’s bounty. “We usually celebrate

Pano Karatassos

Thanksgiving at my sister’s home here in Atlanta,” says the acclaimed chef, whose Miller Union is considered one of the city’s best restaurants, especially when it comes to robust and flavorful vegetable dishes. “I always bring lots of vegetable sides and a brined turkey to dip into my turkey fryer, while my brother-in-law smokes his turkey in his mac-daddy smoker.” And since we all can’t join Satterfield and his family for this mouthwatering Thanksgiving dinner, we’ll have to opt for a meal at Miller Union instead. STALLINGS STYLE For Chef Joey Stallings, who heads up the smoky and sizzling kitchen at Sweet Auburn Barbecue, the holidays are a time when his large family gathers over potlucks and family-style feasts. “For Christmas, I usually roast off a whole New York strip loin, and for Thanksgiving, they get to enjoy a 24-hour, sous-vide, whole turkey.” But Stallings doesn’t stop celebrating when dinner is done. He recommends stopping by The Local, Atkins Park, Corner Tavern and The Vortex, where, according to Stallings, you’ll be greeted by a host of welcoming bartenders and ever-flowing booze. Sign us up!

CHEF SERPAS’ CAJUN DRESSING Tackle Thanksgiving dinner like a pro with this Cajun recipe from Chef Scott Serpas (chef-owner of Serpas). Ingredients 3 medium eggplants, peeled and large diced 10 ounces Andouille sausage 3 ounces butter, divided 1 onion, small diced 3 celery stalks w/ inner leaves, small diced 3 teaspoons garlic, minced 1 pound shrimp 3 teaspoons fresh oregano 2 teaspoons fresh parsley 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon Tabasco 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs, divided 1 cup Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Method Blanch the eggplant in a large pot of salted, boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain eggplant for 20-30 minutes. Brown the sausage in a pot over medium-high heat. Set sausage aside. In the same pot, add two ounces of butter, and the celery and onions. Sauté two to three minutes over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add drained eggplant and turn heat to low. Stir mixture and cover for 15 minutes. Add shrimp and cook for three minutes. Add remaining ingredients (browned sausage, 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs, Parmesan, Tabasco, herbs, and salt and pepper). Cook two to three minutes. Spread mixture evenly in a 9 inch-by-12 inch casserole dish. Top with 1/4 cup bread crumbs and small pats of butter. Bake for 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees. Serve immediately and enjoy!
