AUGUSTA, Ga.— If you’re jumping on the Masters golf cart and linking over to Augusta for this year’s tournament, that little golf contest down Georgia way, know that there’s more to eat than egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches, the iconic treats served at the iconic golf course along those iconic azalea-lined fairways.
In the past year or two, some great new restaurants have opened around the Garden City — a nickname given because of Augusta's profuseness of public and private gardens — but you won’t need a green jacket to try the newest culinary samplings around the city. Just bring a hearty appetite, employ your sense of gastronomic adventure and have plenty of time to enjoy a range of Southern staples and international bites, as well as more traditional fare of steak and burgers.
