ATLANTA. GA (2008-05-09) This evening is the opening night of the annual Sweet Auburn Festival when downtown’s Auburn Avenue fills with music, stands selling curios and clothes, and smells of fried foods and barbecue.
The street already smells like barbecue, as several stands are already warming up the grills, including Jerry Bernard’s:
BERNARD: Ribs and chopped barbecue and that fish. Oooh, we’ve got some of that good, golden-brown fish that you’ll ever want to eat.
He’ll have competition on the fish already Brian McGee from Trinity House, a men’s transitional housing program, was walking the street, advertising a weekly fish fry:
MCGEE: Best price on the street. We got two-piece fish dinner, two sides, free iced tea, for $5. Fish sandwiches, $3. So you see, look at that sign right there.
He pointed to a stand selling fried fish.
MCGEE: Two pieces of fry, $8. So, you tell me what the best price is Fish fry Friday! Fish fry!
The festival continues through the weekend.
