Back then the Atlanta BeltLine's Eastside Trail was still a year from opening. Develop­ ers for Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market had yet to break ground. The glamour and glitz of Buckhead Atlanta? The ambitious urbanism of Alpharetta's Avalon? Not a paver in the streets. Five years later, we're flooded with new developments and filthy with places to eat and drink. Chefs are opening restaurants at breakneck speed (Ford Fry!), testing the limits of what they can do (Kevin Gillespie's Gunshow), and reviving the classics we've missed (oysters Rockefeller at Little Bacch). Even the James Beard Awards have taken notice: We garnered a record 13 nominations last year. Taken together, we're witnessing a growth spurt not seen since the 1996 Olympics. And to track these changes, here we rank the city's best-power players who define our dining culture, impress us consistently, and leave us hungry for more long after we pay the check.
