If You Were a Michelin Inspector in ATL
I live in NYC so I'm spoiled for choice when it comes to local fine dining options. I travel often to Atlanta but have never really done any fine dining there.
So let's say Michelin expanded their guide to encompass the Atlanta metropolitan area and hired you as a guide. What restaurants do you feel would deserve 1, 2, or 3 stars respectively?

I'm a big fan of the Unsukay Restaurant Group. Not hyper-fine dining, but some of the best folks and best food you'll encounter.
There's a restaurant-worked-oriented non-profit based in Atlanta that is a life-changing benefit to many. Check them out and support The Giving Kitchen.
Canoe has been an Atlanta mainstay for years.

IMHO, there's the classic Bacchanalia, but I'm not a fan. I think Miller Union and Gunshow.
That said, I prefer just to drive up and down Buford Highway for like a year and just stuff my face nonstop. There's got to be a place there like the one star hawkers in Singapore.
To add: I'd say just one star on the linked recs. I miss Eugene's.
