So you went to a major American city, had good experiences in THREE restaurants that you could objectively judge, and have now concluded that the restaurant scene is "strong" there and as satisfying as New Orleans.

That didn't seem to be exactly what he was saying. More that his prior experiences in Atlanta had been crappy, and that he's happy to see them stepping up their game.

Just a few years ago, ATL did not have all this, just chains and decent steakhouses. Just as happy dining in ATL as NOLA and I was happy for the change.

For whatever it's worth, I think he's pretty dead on with this, from my limited prior and recent experience in the town.

Everything is not a pissing match, urine.

Exactly. Not really a comparison to NOLA, which I love by the way. Also - there were several restaurants in ATL to chose from that really looked inviting. Just light years ahead of where ATL was around the turn of the century. I think that point has been pretty well documented, not just my opinion. I think the cause is a new generation of chefs coming into their own and taking risks to craft restaurants/menus that they want. The fact that this could happen in ATL makes me excited for what can happen (potentially) in my hometown. There are a lot of younger folks coming back to Houma and they seem to not be satisfied with what's here now (a lot of chains, a a few fine dining establishments.) I'm hoping this crew makes something happen albeit on a smaller scale.

No need to be dooshy, urine.
