Get ready for what might be the most delicious competition Atlanta has seen this year. The nationally touring RARE Steak Championship is making its Atlanta debut at Pullman Yards on April 9, and it's basically Christmas for carnivores.
More than 25 local restaurants are squaring off in judged competitions for Best Traditional Steak and Best Creative Steak, with all cuts sourced from Buckhead Meat & Seafood to keep things fair. You get unlimited tastings (yes, unlimited), plus cocktails and live music from Crystal Clear Band. There's even a Best Cocktail competition for the bartenders.
What I love about this is it's happening at Pullman Yards, which has really become the go-to spot for food events that feel more like festivals than stuffy tastings. The mix of culinary pros judging alongside regular folks voting for People's Choice means both technique and taste buds matter. Given how competitive Atlanta's restaurant scene is, this is going to be one hell of a showdown.
