Tupelo Honey in Atlanta

Monday, June 13, 2016

I first came across Tupelo Honey in Asheville, North Carolina. The southern food stylings of Brian Sonoskus, executive chef for the restaurant, had my mouth watering as I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. So you could guess that I was stoked to find out that Tupelo Honey was making its way to Atlanta. With a soft opening earlier this week, full service should be under way. If you love southern food like I do then you should definitely check out what they have to offer!
