Paschal's Restaurant & Bar

This guide to Paschal's Restaurant & Bar in Atlanta traces brothers James and Robert Paschal, who opened a thirty-seat luncheonette in nineteen forty-seven with no kitchen on site, cooking meals across town and rushing them over by taxicab. It follows the secret fried-chicken recipe that built their reputation and La Carrousel, the jazz lounge next door where Aretha Franklin and Dizzy Gillespie once played, ignoring the segregation laws outside its doors. Listen for how a fifty-two cent sandwich turned into a whole city block.
