At The Varsity
THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS IS ‘WHAT’LL YA HAVE?’
I n August, Atlanta’s The Varsity turned 90 years old, cementing its status as an icon in the city’s food scene. Since opening in 1928, The Varsity has expanded beyond its original location, but it’s remained family-owned and operated from day one. While it’s great to enjoy some authentic Varsity chilli dogs at the airport, nothing beats the original location at 61 North Avenue. As famous as The Varsity has become for hot dogs, onion rings, and frosted oranges, they’re just as famous for their unconventional service style. When you show up at The Varsity, the first thing you’ll hear is somebody shouting “What’ll ya have?” and you won’t just hear it once; it will be repeated in the cadence of an auctioneer until the person at the
head of the line places their order. When multiple windows are going at once, the sounds add up to one delicious symphony. Newcomers can be intimidated by the rush of orders and the overwhelming amount of shorthand that regulars use. You might hear the person in front of you ask for “a heavyweight, bag of rags, and F.O.,” and think to yourself, “What the heck does that mean?” But don’t worry; The Varsity’s website (thevarsity.com) contains a very helpful section devoted to lingo. Of course, you don’t have to know the slang to order — despite the yelling, you’ll find plenty of hospitality at The Varsity — but if
you want to sound like a pro, you can brush up beforehand.
Every city has their own particular restaurants that have become integral parts of the culture. New York has Katz’s Deli, Los Angeles has Randy’s Donuts, and the list goes on. In Atlanta, we’re lucky to call The Varsity our own. It’s the place you go when you want something simple and authentically Atlanta, and probably the first place you take visitors. The only question left to ask is this: What’ll ya have?
