A good reminder of how fortunate we are here in Atlanta with such a lively food scene. Congratulations to all the semifinalists.

Some nice work done by those listed here, but any chef list that leaves off Chris Hall & Todd Mussman, restauranteur Ryan Turner, and the mixologists & servers at Muss&Turner’s & Local Three is suspect at best. Those guys and gals have it going on.

Congrats and Good Luck to all–Lots of hard work involved to get where you are. Especially Michael Klank, seems like just yesterday you were tending bar at Manuels! Kudos to Eddie also—keep up the good work!

Congrats to the nominess but Bacchanalia for outstanding service is laughable. Between courses they literally tossed the silverware at the table like a horseshoe and didn’t care where it landed. Would not rate their service anything above ho-hum.

Was wondering why the listing here is so much shorter in regards to Atlanta area than the nomination list. Did you have a deadline and no time to include more?

Congrats to Cardamom Hill! Everything else…meh.
Agree with @Tumblin, and I hope to some day in the near future see the amazing team at Roswell’s Table & Main in the running for something. I wish they’d add an “Outstanding Bourbon Program”.
