Georgia Spot Named One of the Most Beautiful Places to Eat by People Magazine
Great food isn’t always just about taste. It’s an entire experience. Going to a Georgia restaurant that happens to be one of the most beautiful places to eat can really help turn a good meal into a great one. In that spirit, one Georgia spot has actually been named one of the most beautiful places to eat in America by the experts at People magazine and OpenTable.com.
People Magazine Names Georgia Spot One of the Most Beautiful Places to Eat
People is celebrating their 50th anniversary, and in honor, they’ve released their 2024 Beautiful Issue, where the editors at OpenTable named 50 restaurants as the U.S.’s most beautiful. “These super-stylish stunners deliver unforgettable dining experiences,” People writes. “There are mountaintop chalets with modern rustic touches, glammed-up Art Deco mansions with a view, and mirror-and-glass paneled sky-high stunners.”
Before we get to Georgia, let’s look at some of the other beautiful restaurants in the country. New York City is a big one, because it’s obviously the biggest city in America and, hence, in theory, the most beautiful restaurant in New York City would kind of be the most beautiful in the country. They crowned Verōnika in New York City the most beautiful. “Housed inside the avant-garde Fotografiska photography museum, Verōnika’s Roman & Williams-designed interiors are a luxury escape,” People describes. It sounds lovely. Next time you’re in the Big Apple, you might want to give it a try. Another big one, this time on the other side of the country, is The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford, California. “Find sweeping vistas of lush vineyards and manicured gardens from the patio at this Michelin-starred restaurant,” they write. That also sounds lovely. Finally, rounding out the third biggest area in the country, in Chicago, they picked Tre Dita. “Tre Dita’s swanky dining room gazes upon Lake Michigan and the Chicago River through dramatic 40-foot windows,” People writes. As someone who frequents Lake Michigan, I can tell you that there is no bad view of the water.
So, which Georgia restaurant was named one of the most beautiful places to eat by the experts at People magazine? It’s The Garden Room in Atlanta. Of the spot, they write, “A lush, colorful garden adorned with delicate tile mosaics and pink-and-green dining room transport you straight to Europe.” It’s really so great to be able to experience a bit of Europe without having the make the big flight. I have to say that beauty and great food make for the perfect combination.
You Should Probably Skip These Foods At A Breakfast Buffet
Eggs
Many establishments opt for powdered eggs instead of fresh ones, as it’s a cost-effective way to prepare large quantities of scrambled eggs to cater to numerous guests at once. However, powdered eggs cannot compare to the taste, texture, and color of their fresh counterparts. Another concern lies in the fact that these eggs are pre-cooked, which means they might sit at unsafe temperatures for extended periods. According to the FDA, serving eggs immediately after cooking is crucial to prevent foodborne illnesses. Unfortunately, in a buffet setting, it’s challenging to determine how long the eggs have been sitting out.

Fruit
Unless you witnessed the fruit being freshly prepared in the kitchen, it’s nearly impossible to gauge how long that eye-catching fruit display has been sitting there. According to the FDA, when fruits are cut, their protective skins are breached, leaving the flesh vulnerable to the surrounding environment and any potential bacteria. This creates two primary reasons that heighten the risk of contamination. Firstly, cutting the fruit makes its water content and nutrients readily available to microorganisms. Secondly, without any heating process, disease-causing germs aren’t eliminated, further contributing to the potential hazards of consuming cut fruits from a buffet display.

Waffles

There’s a joy of pouring your own batter into a Belgian waffle maker, flipping it eagerly, and waiting for that gratifying green light before embellishing it with toppings. However, it’s best to exercise caution and avoid the waffle station. As per TikToker Brandi Augustus, a former hotel employee, the waffle batter served there is often old and sour. Instead of disposing of the old batter, new batter is mixed with it. It’s worth noting that not all places offering breakfast buffets adhere to this practice, but it’s wise to stay informed and make a decision based on the circumstances.
