Why these eleven

ONE STANDARD.
ELEVEN ANSWERS.

Atlanta's food story is too big and too good to be told by one kitchen. So we picked eleven operators who already do their one thing better than almost anyone in the city — and gave them a stage with a great bar, a big room, and a downtown front door.
