I am looking forward to dining at three restaurants here in Atlanta. First, there's Le Colonial, an amazing Vietnamese restaurant in Buckhead. In addition, there are two iconic Atlanta restaurants helmed by James Beard Award-winning chefs that are among my favorites: Bacchanalia, one of Atlanta’s iconic restaurants from my friend, Chef Anne Quatrano, and Miller Union, a restaurant with an amazing seasonally-driven menu from Chef Steven Satterfield. Many restaurants have drastically reduced their menus because of the pandemic, so it's not so much about a particular menu item as it is about the company and the ambiance. My time with my wife Lorraine has been very limited due to our busy schedules, so I'm looking forward to bringing her to these restaurants that always have great food and, most importantly, are perfect for a romantic dinner for two. —Deborah VanTrece, chef/owner, Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours, Atlanta

Seasonal soups and hot pot in Seattle

Johnny [Clark, Kim’s husband and restaurant partner] and I love the Pacific Northwest as a vacation destination. We like to visit our friends who are just lovely people on top of doing amazing work. In Portland, Coquine is a small neighborhood restaurant with beautiful, seasonal dishes. Last time, we had a tomato soup with coco beans that was so good. Simple, but done extremely well. We also had a pasta bolognese for brunch that was comforting. [Coquine is also run by] a wonderful husband-wife team. There's a beautiful park near the restaurant that is worth the visit afterwards. In Seattle, it’s Revel. With Rachel Yang's Korean background, we have a lot in common, and her food is so flavorful—and again, another husband and wife team! We really enjoyed their pork belly pancake, albacore tuna bop, and the hot pot soups. —Beverly Kim, chef/owner, Parachute and Wherewithall, Chicago

Steak frites and a bottle of red

There are two restaurants that I most long to return to when this pandemic is over. For hospitality, the gold standard is Brigtsen’s in New Orleans. From the host to the servers to Frank Brigtsen himself, the restaurant has the most genuine and welcoming staff I have ever come across. They care about every guest who walks through the door. That love stayed with me long after dining there. For food, I dream of L’Express in Montreal. When I can cross the checkered floor of the bright, mirrored dining room and settle in at a corner table with a bottle of red wine, a jar of cornichons, and a plate of steak frites, all will be well. At least for a single meal. —Caroline Glover, chef/owner, Annette, Denver

A classic night out in New York City

I can’t wait to come to New York when it is all open again. I have friends here, and it is my home city. I would love to come back and go to The Grill or Le Coucou or Frenchette, for that classically themed New York dining out experience that I miss. You get a chance to get dressed up, you can go to dinner and see a show, or you can go to a great bar and have cocktails. I love having a night out in New York City. It is one of my favorite things to do in the world. For something a little more low key, I would love to go to Asheville and eat at Katie Button’s place, Cúrate. I have eaten there before and it is such high energy and fun and the food is so good. Asheville is such a great city to visit—it is one of those places that really grows on you. —Mashama Bailey, chef/owner, The Grey, Savannah
