It’s a source of pride that friends and strangers ask me for Atlanta restaurant recommendations. From dives to fine dining, the simplest fare to the most exotic international cuisine, I try to sample it all.

With so much great food from all over the world in all types of settings, could it be possible for me to pick my favorite all around restaurant in Atlanta? Well, friends and neighbors this is not a question I take lightly. I’ve thought long and hard about this and have an answer.
