DEL.ICIO.USIs Atlanta Losing Its Greatest Chefs?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
GUENTER SEEGER WAS ONCE OF THE CITY’S GREATEST CHEFS … until he left for NYC

This from reader Michael Morgan in an email yesterday in reference to the piece I wrote on Michael Tuohy;
“Antunes - gone. Soto - gone. Seeger - gone. Tuohy - gone. I’m 41 - born and raised here and a self-declared foodie. This city should be ashamed of itself.”
Should we be ashamed? Or is this a natural progression of the way things are/always will be? We have so many great restaurants, and still we lose top names like these to cities that seem more “culinary friendly.”

Should Atlanta be ashamed??? No, we shouldn’t. Some chefs use Atlanta as a stepping stone, others embrace the community and become a fixture. With the likes of Scott Peacock, Kevin Rathbun, Jason Hill, and many others, the Atlanta dining scene is thriving. Although I’m sad to see Michael Tuohy go, we’ll be just fine. Thanks.
