Smorgasburg began in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood in 2011 as a weekend food market featuring independent vendors and has since become one of the most influential food market formats in the United States. The format is deliberate: dozens of independent food concepts, no full-service restaurants, emphasis on vendors operating at the edge of what "street food" can mean.
The Atlanta edition brings that sensibility downtown, with a vendor mix that reflects the city's genuine diversity of food cultures. July 18 — a Saturday afternoon well spent eating well and supporting the independent operators who define Atlanta's food scene.
