Fancy travel mag Condé Nast Traveler published a list of "the best new restaurants in the world" and Mike Lata's golden seafood hall The Ordinary made the cut. Atlanta-based food critic John Kessler tapped eight spots to represent the American South, and there were 70 restaurants on the entire list (as an aside: other locales were confined to specific cities, so the entire South was up against the likes of Tokyo and New York).

Like others, Kessler recommends the triggerfish and is wowed by the stacks of shellfish: "The raw bar, in front of the bank's vault door, churns out slender Caper's Blades oysters on the half shell, banded rudderfish tartare, and triple shellfish towers that would impress a robber baron."
