Mike, I’m not sure that accepting one of the top jobs in your field as the result of an international search qualifies as leaving Atlanta “like a thief.” I’m just sayin’…

Bring the big guys back!We need the diversity at the high end if we want to be respected as a culinary destination.

I’m with the Sicilian eggplant on this one…funny how the city has morphed from having interesting activity on the high end to having more going on in the mid-range…I’m all for the latter (because I can afford it), but I think once Atlanta can demonstrate a range of excellent contenders at every price point, then there will that synergy of an honestly vibrant restaurant scene.
