If you head over to 560 Dutch Valley Road this evening, you’ll bare witness to Amuse, yet another new Atlanta restaurant. The team behind Amuse is a mix of Andy Alibaksh (via Diem Restaurant Group: Après Diem, Carpe Diem, Carroll Street Cafe, Village Pizza Co.) and Arnaud Michel of Anis restaurant. Whether that means the …
A lot of people have postulated as to why Hankook Taqueria, the one part Korean cafeteria and one part taqueria, has opened on the Westside.

It should be no surprise that this article caught my eye. Yesterday, CNN posted an article that discusses restaurant critics and their desire to remain anonymous.
