Herren’s: An Atlanta Icon

**Herren’s: An Atlanta Icon** tells the story of Herren’s Restaurant, an Atlanta icon that has been serving up delicious food and creating lasting memories for over 90 years.

From its humble beginnings as a sandwich shop to its current status as a culinary destination known around the world, Herren’s has played a vital role in Atlanta’s history. The restaurant was founded in 1929 by Ed Negri, an Italian immigrant with a passion for food. Negri’s commitment to using fresh, local ingredients and his insistence on quality made Herren’s a favorite among Atlanta’s elite.

Herren’s was also a pioneer in the civil rights movement. In 1961, Negri became the first restaurateur in Atlanta to voluntarily integrate his dining room. This act of courage helped to break down the barriers of segregation and paved the way for other restaurants to follow suit.

Over the years, Herren’s has been a gathering place for Atlanta’s movers and shakers. Politicians, celebrities, and business leaders have all dined at Herren’s, and the restaurant has been the backdrop for countless love stories and special occasions.

Today, Herren’s is still going strong, under the ownership of Ed Negri’s son, Peter. Peter Negri is committed to upholding his father’s legacy of excellence, and he continues to innovate and expand the menu. Herren’s is now a culinary destination for people from all over the world, and it is still considered one of the best restaurants in Atlanta.

**Herren’s: An Atlanta Icon** is a celebration of Herren’s Restaurant, an Atlanta icon that has stood the test of time. Through interviews with Ed Negri, Peter Negri, and other members of the Herren’s family, as well as archival research and menu analysis, Pasquale De Marco tells the story of this beloved restaurant and its impact on Atlanta’s culinary scene.

Whether you’re a lifelong Atlantan or a first-time visitor, Herren’s: An Atlanta Icon is a must-read for anyone who loves good food and great stories.
