Hosts & Judges

Adam McCabe and Cole Robbins started ATLFoodies on Instagram (@atlfoodiesofficial) and TikTok (@atlfoodies) as a quarantine project to help support local Atlanta restaurants during the troubling times of 2020. Slowly, they gained a following of foodie loving, adventure seeking, Atlanta and metro Atlanta enthusiasts who connected with their restaurant reviews and discovered the hidden gems of this city and what it has to offer. Adam and Cole continue to create content about the local Atlanta and Metro Atlanta dining scene, things to do in the area for fun and their experiences exploring the city. ATLFoodies continues to grow as Adam and Cole dip into the Travel, Tourism, Hotel and Luxury Travel and Resorts Industries.
