Atlanta’s TWO urban licks and Boston’s STRIP by Strega Place Friendly Wager in Time for Super Bowl L

In Honor of the Big Game this Sunday, Local Restaurant Raises the Stakes

WHAT: In honor of the rivalry brewing between the two cities leading up to the Super Bowl game, Atlanta’s Concentrics Restaurants has placed a friendly wager with Boston restaurateur Nick Varano of STRIP by Strega.

If Atlanta comes out on top this Sunday, and defeats New England on the field, STRIP by Strega will ship down an authentic taste of Boston by sharing a traditional New England Clambake, expertly crafted by STRIP by Strega Executive Chef Farouk Bazoune, along with a $250 donation to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. If New England gets the win, Chef Michael Bertozzi of TWO urban licks will send up a traditional southern BBQ dinner, boasting favorites including mouth-watering brisket and pork ribs, and will make a $250 donation to a Boston-based food pantry.

The wager has been placed and the stakes are high. Both cities are confident in their hometown team, however only one city will be celebrating the big win with a full belly, and we have a feeling that that TWO urban licks will be enjoying a clambake come Monday.

WHERE: TWO urban licks

820 Ralph McGill Blvd NE
