Kevin Rathbun is a bona fide rock star chef. Since he defeated Iron Chef Bobby Flay in 2008, his reputation as one of the best chefs in the country has sky rocketed and his restaurants are perennially mentioned among the best in the country.
Along with Krog Bar and Kevin Rathbun's Steak, Rathbun's is the third of the chef's eateries on Krog Street in the Old Fourth Ward, located halfway between the iconic Krog Street Bridge and the entrance to the Eastside Beltline Trail.
Rathbun's serves modern American food, from Sea Scallop Benedict on Country Ham Grits, to Chef Kevin's signature Crispy Duck Breast with Thai Risotto, and a few "second mortgage plates" that include Elk Chop, Blueberry Demi and Foraged Mushroom-Goat Cheese Polenta (a variation on one of the dishes that defeated Bobby Flay), and a 22oz bone-in ribeye.
