Athens culinary guru Hugh Acheson's calls 5&10 his home-base, consistently shilling amazing high-brow grub, 86 the pretense. Southern flare comes with every dish including the addicting Frogmore stew and deep fried sweetbreads to be washed down by classic, from-scratch cocktails or a bottle off the ultra-savvy wine list. It is THE place in town to impress a date, spoil out-of-towners, or simply sidle up to the bar and indulge yourself. When (not if) you go, try some of pastry chef Shae's homemade ice creams with local fruit pies and tarts.
Pros: Expert takes on local, seasonal ingredients
Cons: High Pricetag prohibits many monthly visits
