A Mystery Dining Experience


Instead of endless Googling

or guessing where to eat, Clues & Culture designs thoughtful food routes through Atlanta neighborhoods. Guests follow playful clues, pick up pre-ordered food from Black-owned restaurants, and end the experience with a picnic moment designed for connection.

How it works

Clues & Culture experiences are designed to be easy, flexible, and fun. Here's how it goes:


1. Choose Your Route

Select a curated route based on your vibe. Each route highlights Black-owned restaurants in a specific Atlanta neighborhood and is designed with pacing and portions in mind.

2. Get Your Clues

Before your experience, you'll receive:

  • Playful story-driven clues
  • Pickup locations and start time
  • Tips for enjoying the route

No guessing. No stress. Just follow the clues.

3. Pick up the Food

You'll stop by each featured restaurant to pick up your pre-ordered food.

A few things to know:

  • This is pickup only
  • You won't dine inside the restaurants
  • Food is packaged to travel well

Each stop is intentional — no random placements.

4. Picnic & Enjoy

Your final stop is a designated picnic area (weather permitting), where you can enjoy your food and drinks all at once.

Bring:

  • Your own blanket
  • Your own utensils

If the weather doesn't cooperate, you'll have the option to:

  • Use an indoor backup location, or
  • Take your food home for a cozy finish

Either way, the experience still works.

No luxury picnic setup. No pressure.

Just good food, good people, good energy.

This is about slowing down, showing up

and pouring back into Black businesses,

one bite at a time


Atlanta has always been rich in culture.


We're just inviting you to experience it differently.

It's about intention.

It's about community.

It's about enjoying the city we love — together.
