James Beard Award–winning chef and cookbook author John Currence, founder of City Grocery and Big Bad Breakfast restaurants in Oxford, Mississippi, is hoping to put his mark on Atlanta. On November 4, he’ll open his latest location of Big Bad Breakfast—the first in Georgia—in the former Cultivate space on Howell Mill Road.

New York City–based chef Marcus Samuelsson will release a cookbook called A Moving Feast: Recipes and Stories of Soul Food’s Journey North. Through the lens of food, it will share accounts of the Great Migration. Nearly every one of the more than 100 images in the book will have been captured by photographer Angie Mosier, a lifelong Atlantan who is preternaturally talented, excessively humble, and unmistakably white.

Chefs John Currence, Hugh Acheson, Sean Brock, Sue Zemanick, and John Fleer tell us why their favorite off-the-grid locales keep them coming back for more.
