Losing a favorite local restaurant hits hard, especially in a town like Athens where food spots become part of our routines and memories. This year, we said goodbye to places like Square One, Saucehouse BBQ (though their catering lives on), and Athens Wok, among others. Each closing leaves a gap—maybe it was your go-to for late-night eats, or the spot you brought out-of-town friends. But Athens keeps evolving, and new places like Swirlee’s Sweet & Frozen Treats and Yossi Kitchen are popping up. Which closed spot do you miss most, and what new place are you excited to try? #Food #AthensGA #LocalEats
