Farm-to-table tasting menu by Michelin-starred Chef Ryan Smith

"An hour-and-a-half south of Atlanta, in the tiny town of Gay, a fine-dining restaurant is tucked within a sustainable farm of cucumbers and fairy tomatoes and a luxury cabin resort. Kara Hidinger and Ryan Smith of Michelin-starred Staplehouse brought their dinner tasting menu here, and the seasonal $255 lineup delivers: green curry noodles clear as glass arrive in a transparent herb-laced broth; venison prosciutto comes on a board strewn with antlers and conifer leaves like a deer had just grazed. The $125 wine pairings focus on biodynamic and sustainable producers—the 2021 Stefan Vetter Sylvaner with beef tartare is excellent, pulling on the dish’s garlic and onion notes—and the negroni with gin, red vermouth, and tawny port is a must, the port adding a warm complexity. A locally sourced strip loin with aji dulce, burdock, and fermented potato bread was another standout. Hidinger says this is the kind of dining they’d envisioned, pulling from surrounding nature with creative freedom that shows in dry-aging techniques and clarified broths, all set on an art-filled property founded by the Duke and Duchess Visconti di Modrone and dotted with pricey cabins starting at $2,700 a night. After dinner, look up to a sky bright with stars, and look down to tiny frogs jumping across a pine- and cattle-scented path." - Henna Bakshi
