From Atlanta to Alabama, North to South Carolina, and Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, the American South is known for terrific food, and the inaugural MICHELIN Guide to the American South has it all in one place.
While The MICHELIN Guide may be best known for Stars, awarded to restaurants with exceptional food, the Bib Gourmand is another award worth checking out. The MICHELIN Bib Gourmand is awarded to restaurants that deliver great food with terrific value, and our Inspectors found plenty of winners in the South.
