As iconic an Atlanta entity as Coca-Cola, the original Varsity has
been downtown's two-block incarnation of Southern diner Americana since
1928. Here, chili dogs topped with yellow mustard form the base of the
nutritional pyramid; the hometown team draws twice the crowd on game
days (go Jackets!); and variations on the words "Coca-Cola" encompass
all drink options. (Orange soda, for example, becomes "orange co-cola."
If befuddled, just order the specialty frozen orange slushie drink known
as the FO.) Be familiar with the lingo of the primarily burger-and-dog
menu by the time your server asks, "What'll ya have?" or the charmingly
short-tempered waitstaff might turn redder than the large "V" on the
eatery's sign.
"Since 1928, and through feeding presidents (and candidates for that
and lesser offices) and the homeless, The Varsity has enticed visitors
to abandon decorum and indulge themselves with toasted pimiento cheese
sandwiches, hot dogs with house-made chili, onion rings and fried pies."
