Atlanta, Georgia - The Varsity This restaurant is a real Atlanta landmark. It
was started in 1928 by Frank Gordy after he flunked out of
Georgia Tech and wanted to show them that he could make it. He
went across the street from the school and opened this
restaurant. He had so much business that he had to move to a new
location down the street that is 2 blocks wide (61 North Ave). It
has expanded to 5 locations and serves tens of thousands of
people every month. Famous for their "What'll ya have" "What'll
ya have" greeting at their stainless steel counters, Frosted
Oranges and Naked Dogs Walking. [Pat, 03/04/2001][RA: Enjoy The Varsity on every trip we make to Atlanta ...]
