Georgia brothers Jamie and Bobby Deen sample the ultimate tastes of Georgia’s capital city, Atlanta. It is melt-in-your-mouth "Papa Don’t Peach" Bread replete with whole slices of fresh peaches within the body of a buttery loaf, one treat locals definitely have no problem waiting in line for. And if you’re hankering for BBQ, the boys get their rib fix at Dreamland BBQ, a rib experience like no other, especially since Dreamland does their ribs the old-fashioned way: over an open pit to seal in every tasty drop of juice, just the way the founder, Big Daddy, likes it. Within the city limits the boys find a taste of Italy with Via Elisa’s fresh spinach and ricotta ravioli, made with recipes from the president of Italy’s pasta chef himself. Along the way Jamie and Bobby uncover a velvety slice of Southern tradition with Sweet Auburn’s Sweet Potato Cheesecake. It’s the best of the ATL Deen boys’ style, and of course everything can be shipped right to your door!
