If you're planning on making dinner reservations in Atlanta during the holiday season, popular dining news site Eater.com has a suggestion for you.
Former Atlanta Magazine dining critic and current Eater restaurant editor Bill Addison put together his third annual "Best Restaurants in America" list with his top 38 picks after traveling the country all year.
"Together, they form a mosaic illustrating how we eat in this country, and how we build culture around food," Addison says about the 38 restaurants.
Only one restaurant in Atlanta made the cut. Miller Union, famous for its exquisite wine programs, at 999 Brady Avenue earned the honors with high praise for executive chef and co-owner Steven Satterfield.
Here's what the magazine had to say about the Atlanta restaurant:
Steven Satterfield draws on the breadth of the culinary South — its agrarian roots and its modern, immigrant-rich perspective — to craft dishes with the depth and sly intricacy of a Faulkner short story. Among his many talents, the man is a rice whisperer — if Savannah red rice or shrimp and andouille gumbo happen to be revolving through the menu (which is as terrific at lunch as it is at dinner), you know exactly what to order.
Earlier this year, Satterfield was named a James Beard Award finalist for the fourth year in a row for Best Chef: Southeast and his first cookbook was nominated for a Julia Child First Book Award from the International Association of Culinary Professionals.
In 2014, The Atlanta Journal Constitution's former dining columnist John Kessler visited Miller Union and also had great things to say about Satterfield. He "really captures a sense of seasonality," Kessler said, and called the food "simple, but almost kind of meditative."
