Buttermilk Kitchen
Since opening in 2012, it has built a loyal following around scratch-made breakfast and lunch dishes that feel comforting yet elevated, with a strong emphasis on local sourcing, seasonality, and Southern hospitality.
The experience is bright, welcoming, and unfussy, but never ordinary.
Everything about Buttermilk Kitchen feels intentional, from the wholesome menu to the sense of care that comes through in each plate. It is the kind of place where breakfast feels a little more special, whether you are settling in for biscuits, waffles, or one of the restaurant's refined takes on Southern staples.

Executive Chef
Suzanne Vizethann is the owner and executive chef behind Buttermilk Kitchen, known for a cooking style she describes as "refined simplicity." Her work is rooted in high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and a belief that comforting food can still feel beautiful, thoughtful, and elevated. Vizethann opened Buttermilk Kitchen after years in the restaurant world, driven by a passion for breakfast and a desire to create a daytime concept centered on warmth and nourishment. Over time, she has become one of the defining names in Atlanta brunch, with wider recognition that includes a Food Network "Chopped" win and the publication of cookbooks inspired by her restaurant and home kitchen. In 2025, coverage around her second cookbook, Brunch Season, reinforced how much her identity is tied to thoughtful morning cooking, seasonal recipes, and the kind of hospitality that feels both polished and deeply personal.
