I confess I was distracted during a match I was watching at the US Open last year. I had been served a chocolate bar filled with knafeh and pistachio cream by FIX Dessert Chocolatier, the dessert company credited with originating the viral Dubai chocolate. I became obsessed with the silken and crispy interior, trying to understand how they managed to get the cream to ooze so gently under the dark chocolate exterior. Cheers. Applause. I’d missed a break point or some shot. But it was worth it. That FIX bar was just one of the fabulous things I’d eaten during the tournament. There was a refreshing ceviche. A buttery lobster roll on the concourse. Crunchy tater tots shaped like doughnuts. And between the day and night sessions, escovitch shrimp…

BACCHANALIA No restaurant is more critical to the city’s dining scene than Bacchanalia. For more than three decades, chefs Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison have showcased the best of local agriculture from their 60-acre farm, shaping the menus of cooks who have passed through their kitchen. MILLER UNION A Bacchanalia disciple, Steven Satterfield is arguably the dean of Atlanta dining, having captured the city’s (and nation’s) attention with a unique approach to farm-to-table wizardry that remains fresh today with unfussy service in this warehouse turned chic farmhouse. KIMBALL HOUSE The trains still chug by the Decatur building that once housed the local train depot, but since gaining new life as Kimball House, the space has taken on a new importance. Diners from across the region flock to secure a coveted…

MANGO AND GREENS SMOOTHIE A smoothie, like life, is what you make of it. This four-ingredient version leans on a coconut water base with banana and mango for sweetness, while a big dose of leafy greens adds a boost of fiber. Personalize this smoothie with a scoop of Greek yogurt for more protein, or make it creamier using milk in place of the coconut water. This recipe easily adapts to such preferential tweaks, so treat it as a blueprint and adjust it to your heart’s content. The final product is a vibrant greenas-grass smoothie to power your mornings or any time you need a quick snack. Purée 1 banana, peeled, cut into pieces, or 1 cup frozen chopped banana, 1 cup frozen mango pieces, 1 cup torn fresh spinach or…

TAKOYAKI DODGER STADIUM, LOS ANGELES “I am a lifelong Dodgers fan, and last season I found a new favorite food order: piping hot takoyaki from renowned Japanese chain Tsukiji Gindaco. Crispy custardy fried octopus balls are doused in tangy-sweet sauce, a drizzle of Kewpie mayo, and finished with a dusting of seaweed and dancing bonito flakes. This also happens to be star player Shohei Ohtani’s alleged favorite snack.” —Kelsey Jane Youngman, senior service editor SONORAN DOG CHASE FIELD, PHOENIX “The Sonoran hot dog is one of the comfort eats of Southern Arizona. An unsung regional specialty, this dog reflects the borderlands and daily life on both sides of the line. Bacon-wrapped, heaped with pinto beans and pico de gallo, and placed in a toasted New England roll, Chase Field’s footlong…

DAGNE DOVER LANDON CARRYALL BAG Stash your gear in this stylish duffel, fit with lots of pockets and removable pouches. $230; dagnedover.com Hydration Heroes If you’re working up a sweat, it’s important you replenish not only that water loss, but also the electrolytes you’re sweating out. Electrolytes is an umbrella term for many different nutrients that help keep water levels within your body stable. And according to registered dietitian Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN, “the proper amount of electrolytes is essential for the human body to function.” But when it comes to hydration aids, more doesn’t mean better: Feller says a moderate amount of sodium (think 0.5 to 0.7 grams per liter) will help your body rebalance after moderate activity without maxing out on your daily sodium intake. And today…

Detroit-style pizza writes its own rules. It’s not about how high the dough is tossed or how thin it can stretch. Instead, the beauty of this pizza rests in its adaptability and history. Here, a rectangular deep-dish pie layers cheese, toppings, then sauce—in that order—leaving ingredients like thinly sliced pepperoni to curl around the edges in the oven. No topping is off-limits. Saucy barbecue chicken, ham, and, yes, pineapple, are all acceptable. The only nonnegotiable is a side of ranch dressing to dip or drizzle. The story of Detroit-style pizza stretches back to the city’s automotive roots. In the 1940s a pizzaiolo at Buddy’s Rendezvous Pizzeria on the east side is said to have tested the original recipe using steel pans designed to hold small car parts from an auto…

I look forward to my early-morning sweat sessions lifting weights at the gym and especially the endorphin-fueled glee I experience right after. I love feeling strong, and I love having goals to work toward. But to reach those goals, I had to start prioritizing protein in my meals. Any registered dietitian will tell you that it’s a key player in muscle repair, recovery, and growth. And sure, a protein shake comes in handy, but dinner is where I can make nourishing meals that deliver on more than macros. My spicy green-as-can-be cod is citrusy, with heat from curry paste and fresh ginger, and comes together with minimal dishes, meaning I can spend less time cleaning up and more time unwinding with some mind-numbing reality TV. Starting my day with a…

There is no need to go out of your way to secure uniquely local souvenirs for food-loving friends and family. They are everywhere you eat in Atlanta. You’d do well to grab some of the super-cool merch while dining at Talat Market, shop through the well-curated selection of books while enjoying a pour and stellar french fries at Lucian Books and Wine, or grab a tin of cookies or granola after polishing off a chocolate pistachio croissant and nitro salted honey latte at Little Tart Bakeshop. Cruise over to Evergreen Butcher + Baker to marvel at their artisan bread and meat operation at work. After grabbing a pastry, peruse their selection of local goods, from chocolate-covered pecans to coffee, and ask them to bundle a boule of sourdough for the…

I remember so vividly picking up Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat for the first time. Sitting in the Bon Appétit offices in 2017, leafing through an advance copy of the Chez Panisse–trained chef’s debut, curiosity quickly turned to a knowing sort of awe. “Whoa,” I recall muttering out loud. “She actually…did it.” The “it,” in this case, was defying every commandment of modern cookbook publishing. Thou shalt develop a hundred crowd-pleasing recipes. Said recipes shalt be adjacent to glossy photographs. Thou shalt pose for the cover, ideally smiling and having a casually joyous time. It was, instead, 480 pages of beautiful blasphemy. A painstaking, profoundly nuanced master class in the fundamentals of cooking, with recipes that were not merely ends in themselves but opportunities to hone one’s newfound skills.…
