Atlanta is definitely a hub of delicious food and drinks, especially in the Southeast. We’ve got tons of incredible restaurants on just about every corner,, and so many spots to try that we can hardly keep track of ’em all!
Not only is our food restaurant scene absolutely immaculate, but our airport food is actually #1 in the whole country!
So with all of our many delicious restaurants and incredible chefs… we’re a little surprised that only one restaurant in the ATL has been nominated for a James Beard Award this year.
