By Marisa Roman | Published April 06, 2018

More than 70 years ago, a restaurant popped up in Atlanta that was the go-to spot for delicious, homestyle cooking. Since 1947, this tiny spot in Georgia has been serving hungry customers the best Southern soul food you can find. While some remain partial to the fried chicken and key lime cake, the go-to menu item for many are the old school ham hocks, tender and full of flavor. See for yourself…

There aren’t too many places in Georgia where you can find ham hocks nowadays.

But when you do, it’s like finding the Holy Grail of pork.
