For fans of Atlanta’s resident star toque Guenter Seeger, you have exactly five days left to eat at his eponymous restaurant. After nine years, he’s sold it and will close it on Saturday the 19th. Pourquoi? According to the press release, it’s because he has “nearly every top accolade in the culinary industry” except the Michelin star he has yearned for since the age of 12. After 22 years in Atlanta, he’s moving to an unspecified city, one where Le Guide is in full effect.

At first glace, I assumed he’d be returning to Europe, perhaps his native Germany. Ironic in that many chefs across the pond have been trying to give back those stars. Upon further reflection, I realized perhaps he’s just moving up north. It’s about 880 miles to Gracie Mansion.
