Georgia has thousands of restaurants, especially around Atlanta. But only one made the New York Times’ top 50 in America list.
To make their selections, 14 of the media giant’s reporters and editors took 76 flights to eat more than 200 meals in 33 states. They show up unannounced and as normal customers, enjoying their meals and paying at the end. Those selected “have delicious food and a mastery of craft, but also a generosity of spirit and a singular point of view.”
What is the best restaurant in Georgia?
The Georgia hot spot to make the list was Avize Atlanta. Here’s what NYT had to say about it:
“Karl Gorline, a Mississippi native, mixes his dedication to tweezer-food precision with his Bavarian heritage to create a refined, unexpected menu of what might best be called Southern Alpine. The room has a cozy elegance punctuated by a white taxidermied mountain goat. Mr. Gorline’s version of Alain Passard’s Arpège egg mixes butternut squash custard and pine.
“His take on Atlanta’s favorite spice comes in the form of lemon pepper frog’s legs. His North Georgia trout crudo pairs plum and amaranth, but the real surprise dish is Bolognese made from fermented carrot with a touch of horseradish and mint. The casual bar next door continues the theme with flammekueche and venison brats, but you can also get a perfect non-Alpine broccoli Caesar.”
