The Gallery of Regrettable Food

50s and 60s.

Atlanta until several years ago had a great fondue restaurant for decades, Dante’s Down the Hatch. Dante was also an original SEAL plank holder and quite an interesting guy. We once took some friends there whose son was a SEAL. They told the son about Dante’s, and his reaction was “oh sure, a SEAL” (there are a lot of fake SEALs out there). Then he checked it out, and Dante checked out as real. They went with the son the next time he was in town, and Dante wouldn’t hardly leave the table talking to the son.

Loved Dante’s! He had alligators or crocodiles in the water around the wharf area. Interesting place and good food and jazz. We always took out of town visitors there for dinner and music.
