Do you mean as in ethnicity? Or styles of food? Being from Athenns and growing up there ive seen the restaurant industry evolve. It’s. Tough business to begin with for several reasons, finding good, steady employees on a long term basis in a college town is very challenging, lots of young people coming...and leaving. I live in Alpharetta now, we have TONS of great places to eat around here, but the Alpharetta’s economy isnt driven by a 40,000 plus student population. I wish Athens n had more good BBQ places, we used to go to Zeb Deans in Madison county, and Walter& Ralph’s on Broad street had great runs years ago.
