Foodies, start your engines. The new Southern edition of the Michelin Guide<\/a> is here, and it expands its existing coverage of Atlanta to include Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. All told, some 243 Southern restaurants earned recognition this year, and thirteen standout spots joined an existing nine in Atlanta in securing coveted Michelin stars (including green stars).<\/p>\n\n\n

The original Michelin Guide, first published in 1900, was all about getting people to take more road trips in an effort by the eponymous French tire brand to sell more tires. While the guide\u2019s purpose has shifted over the last century toward highlighting top-tier restaurants across the globe, at its core it remains a companion for travelers. To pay homage to these origins, we created an epic gastronomic driving tour that rolls past some of the newest inductees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South\u2019s Michelin Guide covers a lot of ground, and this road trip focuses on just a small portion of its highlighted restaurants. This route won\u2019t take you to New Orleans\u2019 Emeril\u2019s<\/a>, for instance, the only two-star restaurant to appear in this guide, or to the three hot spots in Nashville, but it will take you to all of the newly starred establishments in the Carolinas, plus a couple of Bib Gourmand picks, which Michelin recognizes for both quality and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finagling reservations for all of these places\u2014no less in the same week\u2014may prove challenging. But if the stars align, you\u2019ll buckle up for one of the best weeks of eating in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday\u2013Monday: Charleston<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Start your trip in this Lowcountry dining mecca, where three downtown restaurants, Vern\u2019s<\/a>, Wild Common<\/a>, and Malag\u00f3n Mercado y Taper\u00eda<\/a>, earned a star. If you\u2019ll be in town for a few days, consider staying at the Post House Inn,<\/a> a tiny, timeless retreat (with a delightful downstairs restaurant of its own) just across the river in Mount Pleasant; Michelin awarded it a one key designation in its hotel category. <\/p>

Dine at Wild Common and Malag\u00f3n Saturday and Sunday nights. At Wild Common you\u2019ll find what\u2019s probably the most affordable Michelin tasting menu in the country. It\u2019s $95, though you can add on the caviar eggs Benedict for an extra bit of luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"crab

At Malag\u00f3n, dried hams hang above the bar, Spanish dry goods line the shelves, and the extensive tapas menu allows you to taste a wide array of dishes, including its \u201cLa Bomba de la Barceloneta,\u201d or pork-stuffed mashed potato, which the Michelin inspector called a must-have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vern\u2019s is the only Holy City honoree open on Mondays, but you won\u2019t regret saving this gem for last. The neighborhood American bistro, which feels more like a living room in a Nancy Meyers movie than a restaurant dining room, is known for dishes like succulent roasted chicken and handmade pastas. Be sure to save room for a strawberry granita for dessert. Reservations open thirty days in advance at noon and go quick. If you don\u2019t land one, try going at 5:00 p.m. to snag a bar seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, make your way up I-26 to Greenville, South Carolina. Dinner is at Scoundrel<\/a>, a French-inspired spot where the tableside beef tartare presentation is a must and sharing plates is the norm. If you\u2019re killing time before your reservation, Scoundrel chef and owner Joe Cash recommends attending a Greenville Drive<\/a> minor league baseball game, though you can\u2019t go wrong just strolling the picturesque Reedy River, which flows directly through downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n

Wednesday: Asheville<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The drive from Greenville to Asheville, North Carolina,<\/a> takes just over an hour, so you\u2019ll have plenty of time to hike, grab a beer, or peruse the city\u2019s myriad art galleries and craft studios before dinner at Luminosa<\/a>. Known for fresh Italian-Applachian fare like mouthwatering pork and beans agnolotti<\/a>, Luminosa just earned a Michelin Green Star for its commitment to local produce and sustainability. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s tucked inside the recently reopened Flat Iron Hotel, all the better for rolling straight to bed after dinner.<\/p>

The coast menu (left) and bar at Counter-.<\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two hours east in Charlotte, Counter-<\/a> is the only restaurant in North Carolina to acquire a star in this inaugural American South Michelin Guide. As its name hints, every guest sits at the counter, a sleek U-shaped bar that gives patrons a look at the inner workings of the kitchen. The tasting menus, or \u201cthemes,\u201d change quarterly; this fall\u2019s focuses on mountain fare, and up next, executive chef Sam Hart tackles the variations in flavors across the Tar Heel State. Since opening in 2020, the team has never served the same course twice after a theme concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"gin

Before dinner, grab a drink at Supperland<\/a>, recognized for its \u201cExceptional Cocktail Program\u201d by Michelin. The converted church is known as a gin bar and makes its tonic water in house, but you\u2019ll also find creative cocktails like the purple-hued Intergalactic Love Affair, a playful riff on a vodka soda. If you can\u2019t get into Counter-, Supperland offers a stellar dinner menu, too, inspired by church potlucks of yore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n

Friday: Knightdale<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"barbecue\"

Grab a coffee and hit the road early. It\u2019s about a three-hour drive to Knightdale, just east of Raleigh, and you\u2019ll want to be waiting at Prime Barbecue<\/a> when it opens at 11:00 a.m. There\u2019s often a line stretching out the door, and with its new Bib Gourmand designation it won\u2019t be getting any shorter. Getting there early also means you\u2019ll have the best chance of snagging some of chef Christopher Prieto\u2019s famous burnt ends<\/a>, which are only available Wednesdays and Fridays\u2014at least until they sell out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list is long, and it\u2019ll be tempting to stay on the road to keep trying brake-worthy meals, but your waistline (and wallet) might have other thoughts. Bookmark the full guide<\/a> for your next road trip. <\/p>\n<\/p>
