Back at it again with Wendell Brock, I had the opportunity to photograph a range of different restaurants in an Atlanta dim sum roundup. While the city doesn’t have a great dim sum scene, I did have really good experiences everywhere I visited. I especially can’t wait to return to Royal China, which is probably one of the most energetic restaurant spaces I’ve ever seen.
