    Chili chicken at Chai PaniPhotograph by Daniel Peach/Chai Pani Restaurant GroupFor many of us, it’s a rite of passage. We graduate high school, strike out for college and, fending for ourselves for the first time on a tight budget, search for cheap places to eat.

    My monthly ritual in college was a drive into Atlanta to make the rounds of the rich array of record stores across the city. My favorite haunt was Peaches, a warehouse-sized store that prided itself on having the back catalog of just about every music artist imaginable. This was long before iTunes and Spotify.
