The stretch between Buckhead and Buford is known for its amazing food − from goat curry at Nam Phuong to Viet-Cajun crustaceans at Crawfish Shack Seafood. As the AJC's Ligaya Figueras put it in our fall dining guide for Buford Highway, "The list of must-try ethnic dishes on Buford Highway is as long as the 30-plus miles of this roadway."

That's why we're surveying you, the readers, to find which is your favorite. There is so much to choose from, so vote carefully.

Buford Highway includes amazing late-night bites and dishes so good they're worth the drive alone. All that is before the awesome old-school eateries that have been serving great food for decades.

For those interested in seeing this hotbed of culinary excellence before they go, we also have a gallery of Buford Highway restaurants. There are also more specific pieces for things like the ceviche at De...Mar Cevicheria and Taiwanese-Sichuan restaurant Li Mei Zi.
