local or when visiting somewhere? just go off reviews on google? travelocity?

im always skeptical when i find an article about the best places to eat in a city. going to be in atlanta for a couple of days next week and when i search for places its overwhelming lol going to be a big group so i doubt ill get to try many places but still want to try something that is the best in atlanta or isnt found out west.

i always try to look up what a region or city is known for then go from there. will definitely prefer a local spot to a national chain. if the restaurant has multiple locations in a city thats fine.
