Mary Mac's Tea Room

65 Years of Recipes From Atlanta's Favorite Dining Room
Aug 08, 2011Deirdre rated this title 2 out of 5 stars
Mary Mac’s Tea Room is the last one still standing of Atlanta’s 16 post-World-War-II so-called tea rooms--establishments that actually served such small-town southern comfort food as fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, barbequed ribs, jumbalaya, hush puppies, pecan pie, and Georgia peach cobbler. This collection of recipes, published in 2010 by the restaurant’s latest owner, also includes a few items of more traditional teatime fare (e.g., buttermilk biscuits and banana bread), as well as a nutritionally insane excess of sugar (e.g., 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar in tomato sauce, 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar in cole slaw!)
