Study Hall Member Adam Robb Reported On How a Ukrainian Fast Food Chain Is Expanding To The United States

by | August 21, 2024

For Rough Draft Atlanta, Adam Robb reported on how two years after Angelina Jolie visited a Lviv Croissants on a trip to Lviv, Ukraine, the fast food chain has opened a location in Atlanta, Georgia. Robb reported on the array of food served at the restaurant, and how the fast food chain is fueled by a sense of perseverance.

For the piece, Robb spoke to co-founder Andrii Galitsky. Robb writes about how he discovered Lviv Croissants through his own research and travels to the Eastern European country.

He writes, “As I prepared to uproot my life to cover the Ukrainian dining scene for outlets like New York magazine and Conde Nast Traveler, I found only one restaurant business that went viral and commanded a news cycle during the war. That’s because Angelina Jolie put Lviv Croissants on the map.” 

Robb’s work has appeared in The Intercept, Wine Enthusiast, Hell Gate, and other outlets.
