If you are looking for a great place to eat this summer, take a tip from food critic Christiane Lauterbach and "escape" to one of her top 5 summer restaurant picks. You can watch Christiane Lauterbach's Summer Top 5 Restaurant Countdown to get an in depth look at her summer faves, which include Rolling Bones, Mitra, Pura Vida, Misto, and Woodfire Grill. Plus, you can also check out her Spring Restaurant Countdown for all of her past favorites. Keep checking back for the fall and winter countdowns!

I saw Christiane's show on TV in an Atlanta hotel. She should have her own show on the Food Channel. She's pretty good. Iwas impressed.

Look for the new show airing this fall.

Atl heavy hitters such as Joel, New York Prime, Lush, and others will be featured!

Also check out the latest Atlanta Magazine to read about Christiane's history and background!

Good stuff!

Can't wait to get to ATL and try some of those restaurants on her list... I really want to try Nam (from the Spring Top 5)!
