Atlanta - Midtown: The Varsity
The Varsity, at 51 North Avenue, was opened in 1928 by Frank Gordy. Originally named "The Yellow Jacket", The Varsity has grown into the world's largest drive-in restaurant, sitting on more than two acres and accommodating 600 cars and over eight hundred people inside. Over the years The Varsity has become synonymous with the blunt and abbreviated greeting "What'll ya have?" The Atlanta institution now features seven branches across metro Atlanta and Athens.
On days of Georgia Tech football games, the downtown Varsity can see up to 30,000 visitors. It sells more than two miles of hotdogs daily, a ton of onion rings, 2500 pounds of fresh cut potatoes, 5000 homemade fried pies, and 300 gallons of chili, all of which are made from scratch daily. It is also the world's largest single outlet for Coca-Cola.
