I’ve tasted plenty of trendy “fusion” food in Atlanta—much of it contrived. (Grits sushi, anyone?) Today’s chefs, many second-generation immigrants, are modernizing their menus with respect to their roots and the influences around them.

Last year's Michelin awards—which saw five Atlanta restaurants honored with a coveted Star and 40 others recognized—generated tons of buzz and press. But how did the awards impact business? We spoke to three of last year’s winners to find out.

Moving from DeKalb Avenue to Midtown is an excellent business decision for an ambitious chef with a new Michelin star and all that it entails in terms of target audience. The number of dishes on the tasting menu has increased, and so have the prices.

One of only five Atlanta restaurants to earn a Michelin star, Lazy Betty is moving to its new home March 16. The acclaimed tasting menu spot opened in the former Radial Cafe space in Candler Park in 2019. Five years later, it’s taking over from Hugh Acheson’s esteemed Empire State South. Located in the heart of Midtown near 10th and Peachtree Streets, the new space is nearly 2,000 square feet larger than the old, allowing owners Ron Hsu and Aaron Phillips to grow the bar program, add an a la carte menu, and expand the group private dining options.

Each new year in Atlanta brings with it the promise of new places to eat, drink, and, for 2024 in particular, play, thanks to new concepts from Justin Amick and William Stallworth (Painted Hospitality), a cabaret at the Works, and a 1990s-themed cocktail bar in Dunwoody—to name a few.
