"The mound of oyster shells in the recycling dumpster out back lets you know what to order at this upscale New American restaurant in Decatur. They have a large, high-quality selection (think buttery Hamamotos and plump Hog Island Sweetwaters), so use this place to impress that friend who is always blathering on about molluscy notes and vegetal undertones. Kimball House even has the fanciest (and our favorite) mignonette on this list—mixing white vinegar, mint, apple, citrus, shallots, and ginger into a fresh and sweet, but also tangy, concoction." - juli horsford
