In search of culinary Nirvana
Grant Park’s Young Augustine’s rose from the ashes of The Standard early this year. This neighborhood take on the gastro pub is the brainchild of Chris Johnson, owner of The Standard, Andy Gonzales, a well traveled chef, and Kyle Faucher, the manager who I know little about. While the fate of the Standard seemed set …

Fresh out of the groomer, The Thirsty Dog Tavern is now open in Peachtree Hills. A hot mess of Olive Garden meets The Titled Kilt plus Park Tavern with a touch of Taco Mac, it’s a reworking of Vita, the previous tenant at 2100 Peachtree. While it’s location is ideal for the nomad in you …

Engine 11 is the latest tenant in the cemetery that is 30 North Ave. Despite being within walking distance of Georgia Tech, the Fox Theatre, and a number of Midtown residences and hotels, this location has been a death knell for all previous comers.
