Why You Should Go: Of all the culinary trends we've seen come and go (molecular gastronomy, Asian-Jamaican-Thai fusion, cook-your-own meal), the least "trendy" but most delicious has been farm-to-table dining. More of a movement than a trend, you'll see its effect in the fresh, seasonal fare at Briza Restaurant, showing that this culinary style is here to stay.

Why You’ll Love It: This acclaimed Atlanta Midtown restaurant takes farm-to-table fare to the next level by infusing it with Southern flair. Using locally sourced ingredients, executive chef Janine Falvo creates a menu of seasonal cuisine alongside an extensive wine list and handcrafted cocktails. 

What to Eat: Start off with a bowl of lobster bisque or tuna tartar with quail egg and sweet soy wonton chips. For the main event, enjoy dishes like wild king salmon with garbanzo beans and grilled Greek salad or pork belly with poached apples, squash, and house-braised sauerkraut. End the meal with something sweet, like the Guilty Pleasure Pie topped with dulce de leche whipped cream and potato chip (really!).
