US. Airport restaurateur OTG Management has teamed up with its local concession partners*, top chefs, local brands, and community organizations to launch a dynamic new website, www.ExperienceATL.com, themed The Atlanta Experience, that highlights new food & beverage concessions at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
