Vote for Atlanta’s Chef of the Year

Welcome to day two of the 8th annual Eater Awards, honoring the most talented restaurant and bar industry gurus in cities across the world. Here’s how the Eater Awards work: All 24 Eater cities and the national site will award prizes in multiple categories, including but not limited to Restaurant of the Year, Chef of the Year, and Design of the Year. In each category, editors will choose an editor’s choice winner and readers will vote for a reader’s choice winner — all to be announced on December 5, 2017. Editor’s choice winners will receive an illustrious tomato can trophy, as is the tradition around here. This year Eater will further the fanfare, running a splashy feature about every editor’s choice winner throughout the course of the coming year.

The 2017 chef nominees represent Atlanta’s diverse and ever-evolving food scene. Each chef brings something unique to the city’s diners including elegant southern comfort, Georgian Thai, Malaysian-style street food, pit-smoked barbecue, and a dinner menu defined by Atlanta and its seasons.
