Good Filipino in Detroit? Of course you can now find that. We’re talking modernist cuisine in an Atlanta air terminal.

One Flew South Atlanta Located in Atlanta’s main airport in a corner of Terminal E, chef Duane Nutter’s upscale eatery offers culinary rewards never before found in such surroundings. Nutter makes a “deconstructed” fish chowder in which white miso stands in for cream and a large clamshell holds the remaining ingredients: celery, potato, and a cube of fatty salmon. oneflewsouthatl.com
