What'll Ya Have?!

As we drove through Atlanta on our way to Tallulah Gorge State Park, we had to make a nostalgic stop for Daddy-dog.  We had to grab a quick bite at The Varsity near the Georgia Tech campus, Daddy-dog's alma mater.

Oz the Terrier enjoys a nostalgic stop at The Varsity for a quick lunch

The Varsity is an old fashioned drive-in that has been serving customers in Atlanta since 1928.  Though you can go in and eat in the restaurant, we love the car hop service and Daddy-dog always saves me the end bits of his hot dog.   

Daddy-dog ate at The Varsity all the time when he was a student at GT.  They say when the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets have a home game, over 30,000 people visit The Varsity.  That's a lot of chili dogs and hamburgers!

Do you ever make a nostalgic stop on a road trip with your pet parents?

    We have seen this shown on the Food Network a couple of times but have never been to it - Mom doesn't like hot dogs so it is probably not a place we would ever visit

    OMD....is that still there? Mommy remembers eating at the Varsity when she took her very first trip by herself when Grandma threw her on a plane to go visit Aunty Mary and her cousins in Atlanta. She was only 12 years old at the time. Her 14-year-old cousin told her The Varsity was the most popular hangout for teens. Mom went there a lot while she was visiting in Atlanta!

    We don't know Varsity but we do know hot dogs and they are the best! My mom thinks chili cheese dogs are the most delicious thing ever invented. ☺ Bentley

    We make nostalgic trips even around home to where Mom grew up. Sometimes it's a lot of fun.

    I've found some of the best food tends to be around colleges and universities. How nice that your dad got to go back and reminisce.

    Sounds like a very fun place to go to eat! We have a restaurant kind of like that here, it hasn't been around nearly as long as The Varsity, but it sounds somewhat similar - it's a fifties and sixties styled drive-in type restaurant called The Chatterbox.

    I wish there were still more drive-in restaurants, I haven't been to one in YEARS. They're so fun, and it's especially great that it's something dogs can do too!
