Michelin's American South guide stars Dakar NOLA, Atlanta's So. Fox and a farm restaurant in Gay, Georgia
The full Georgia list, who dropped out, and the new Mindful Voices award for a chef who farms 90% of his produce.
The Michelin Guide revealed its second American South selection on October 21 at The Pinnacle in Nashville, covering Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Atlanta. Only three restaurants in the seven-state region earned a new star: So. Fox in Atlanta's Virginia-Highland, Uberto at the Quercus property in Gay, Georgia, and Dakar NOLA in New Orleans, Atlanta Magazine reports.
The AJC notes Uberto's chef Ryan Smith had given up a star at Staplehouse when he moved his tasting menu south of Atlanta; he also received one of the night's two new Mindful Voices awards. Atlanta Magazine says Uberto sources more than 90 percent of its produce from an on-site regenerative, solar-powered farm.
All eight previously starred Georgia restaurants kept their stars, giving the state 10, per the AJC. Atlanta Magazine counts five Georgia restaurants that appear to have dropped out of the guide (one closed) and two moved from Bib Gourmand to Recommended.
