"A downtown Atlanta event venue that hosted the inaugural Michelin Guide reveal gala on October 24; the evening featured a red carpet with an inflatable Michelin Man and a step-and-repeat for photos, while the lobby’s scattered bar stations flowed with champagne as guests, chefs, and restaurant teams mingled, hugged, and celebrated—many describing the moment as "surreal," "mind-blowing," and "just so humbling," with several chefs expressing disbelief at receiving Michelin recognition." - Beth McKibben
