"Husk has been holding it down in Rutledge Hill for over a decade. It’s situated in a historic Victorian mansion that still feels authentically creaky and old in a really cool way. They changed chefs a few years ago, and while it took some time for the new crew to find its footing, they’re hitting their stride with new riffs on Southern dishes and old favorites like glazed pig ears and Benton’s country ham with soft rolls.
