Revival

Atlanta


Serving his grandmother's family-style Sunday-dinner recipes, celebrity Atlanta chef Kevin Gillespie's farm-fresh Southerner in a restored early-1900s Decatur homestead reminds you of slower days. Standouts include the fried chicken (of course), grass-fed beef and pork meatloaf wrapped in bacon, and fried brussels sprouts with cider gastrique, banana peppers and feta, but the family-style dinner ($150, feeds four) is the star.
