Model Milk is the exceptional and rare spit that feels just as fine dining as it does casual. The room is beautiful with impeccably designed dishes, but definitely seek out the burger here, made with a morel mushroom ragout, cheese curds, and creme fraiche.

Modern Burger

Modern Burger switched locations recently so luckily we mapped it out here. It’s not in the very popular District at Beltline food hall, and it’s tough to go anywhere else with burgers this tasty.
