Hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026™ is the latest chapter in a 30-year transformation that began with the 1996 Olympic Games, which accelerated the city's growth, strengthened public-private partnerships, elevated its cultural and culinary profile, and established Atlanta as one of the world's leading destinations for major sporting events.

Chefs from around the world have brought global recipes to Atlanta, while local talent continues to prove that Southern cooking is far more than just fried chicken (though you’ll find plenty of that, too).

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. I love the new menu (be prepared for slight seasonal changes) and its intentional progression from recognizable to unfamiliar.
