This week, we’ll examine Atlanta’s restaurant scene and the changes that have happened over the past year.

The AJC’s dining team is taking a look at the changes to Atlanta’s dining landscape with a package they’re calling Restaurant Reset. It includes some of their top picks for patios, to-go cocktails, pop-ups, grocery store-restaurant hybrids and new brunch spots. Dining editor Ligaya Figueras is joined by AJC food and dining contributor and fellow restaurant critic Wendell Brock to talk about the new dining developments.
