Before he won the presidency and while he was a Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden visited Atlanta in June 2019, meeting with several luminaries in the city as part of a political jaunt.
Biden, the former U.S. vice president, was campaigning to challenge President Trump for the White House in the 2020 race.

Atlanta is a heavily Democratic base for Biden, despite the staunchly Republican leanings of many in the northern suburbs.
Biden met with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and was shepherded around town to many of the city’s favorite haunts.
There was the customary lunch at Busy Bee’s on Martin Luther King Boulevard, as well as other stops.

Now, Busy Bee has somehow become, like, a testing ground for visiting politicians who are about to launch a campaign. Not that long ago, rapper Killer Mike brought Bernie Sanders to the joint during the 2016 election for some fried chicken.
What was not known was whether Biden had the chicken, collard greens or fried fish. Atlanta has so many soulful restaurants to choose from.
