ICYMI: America’s Best New Restaurant Is In Atlanta

This should have been in the Morning Reads, but wasn’t. Atlanta’s Staplehouse is the best new restaurant in America, according to Bon Appetit. From the article:

“Let me make one thing clear: Staplehouse didn’t become my restaurant of the year because of a heart-wrenching story. It became my restaurant of the year because of the smart, innovative cooking of Ryan Smith and the warm, welcoming, unwavering hospitality of Kara, Jen, and the entire team. In every way imaginable, it floored me. It’s the best restaurant experience I had this year. Hands down.”

I’ve been, and don’t disagree. But it’s going to be a lot harder to get a table there now.
