Mike’s Favorite Resy Spots

Fun Facts

  • Lives in
    Atlanta, GA
  • Hot take
    Breakfast is a scam.
  • Drink of choice
    My receipts would say a Negroni or ANXO dry cider but my heart says Côte de Brouilly.
  • Favorite food movie
    “The French Dispatch.”
  • Best high-low pairing
    Beef jerky and Beaujolais.
  • Your Ratatouille moment
    Making my first Thanksgiving dinner contribution: a salad.
  • Pro tip for diners
    Be as nice as you can possibly be to your servers and tip them accordingly. Reciprocity is real.
