I grew up in Tucker and Matthew's is definitely an institution! I've eaten there probably 100 times over the years and it never disappoints. You don't last as long as Matthew's hasn't survived 50...

Chamblee is my home turf. I got wheels under me in 1963, and drove around exploring my world from the FRONT seat. I discovered Matthews Cafeteria soon after that. MC sits in a time warp, I swear. How...
