RESTAURANT HOLMES TO OPEN EARLY 2018 IN HISTORIC JONES HOUSE

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 11/16/17

Taylor Neary (Formerly of Marcel, St. Cecilia) Will Serve as Executive Chef

 

 

Opening early 2018, Restaurant Holmes is an eclectic neighborhood restaurant and bar within the historic Jones House at Alpharetta City Center. Roswell native Taylor Neary, formerly of Marcel, St. Cecilia, and more, will head up the kitchen as Executive Chef.

 

THE MENU

Opening seven days per week, Restaurant Holmes will serve an eclectic American menu that changes often. Dishes will feature simply prepared, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can expect a lunch menu of seasonal salads, small plates and entrees, with highlights on the dinner menu including dishes like coal-roasted beets, crudo, pasta, wood-fired fish, and more.

 

THE CHEF

Chef Taylor Neary attended Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta. During that time, he worked at Stoney River Grill, Roswell’s legendary steakhouse, before continuing on to Buckhead Life Group’s Kyma. Over the last seven years, Chef Taylor has helped lead kitchens at acclaimed restaurants across town including Roux on Canton, Little Alley Steak, Opulent, St. Cecilia, and Marcel, where he most recently served as Sous Chef. “Holmes” is a six-generation family name for Taylor.

 

THE SPACE

Built in 1915, the Jones House is a historic building and former residence preserved by Alpharetta City Center. MT Studio Architecture and Couch Construction Services are heading up the restaurant’s renovation, and Holmes will take on a handsome interior with leather banquettes, dark tile, and design features including murals by renowned local artist Greg Mike. Dishes will be served on custom ceramics from Noble Plateware out of New York.

 

The restaurant will offer 60 seats indoors with additional seating on a covered porch and patio. A semi-private room off the main dining room will also offer space for gathering.

BATTER COOKIE DOUGH COUNTER TO OPEN AT PONCE CITY MARKET ON NOVEMBER 21ST

Posted by Liz Attaway, 11/16/17

Atlanta’s First Edible Cookie Dough Concept Will Open Inside
Ponce City Market’s Central Food Hall

Shop Will Feature Cookie Dough By the Scoop or Half-Pint, 
Plus Warm Cookies & Cold Beverages

 

Batter Cookie Dough Counter, Atlanta’s first edible cookie dough dessert shop, will open inside Ponce City Market on November 21st. Batter will offer traditional and seasonal cookie dough flavors including sugar, chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal, lemon, salted caramel, s’mores, and more.

 

Crafted from natural ingredients with no preservatives, Batter’s cookie dough is eggless and made with heat-treated flour that is safe to consume uncooked. Located on the first floor of Ponce City Market’s Central Food Hall, across from Honeysuckle Gelato, the walk-up shop will be decorated with vintage cookie jars and feature around ten flavors for spooning. Half-pints of Batter’s edible cookie dough will also be available to enjoy at home. For those who opt for a scoop in-store, Batter will offer toppings for uniquely customizable treats. In addition, Batter will also serve an assortment of freshly baked cookies and beverages including cold brew coffee, milk, and chocolate milk.

 

Native Atlantan Julie Abes founded Batter after years baking cookies at home with her two kids, who always asked to spoon up the batter at the bottom of the mixing bowl. “We’re excited to bring something new to Atlanta and to call Ponce City Market home,” said Abes. “With Batter, guests can enjoy everything from classic cookie dough to sweet new twists on familiar flavors. We’ll have something for everyone, including vegan and gluten-free varieties.”

 

She developed Batter in collaboration with local Atlanta ice cream company, High Road Ice Cream & Sorbet, whose Founder & CEO, Keith Schroeder, says, “With the launch of the High Road Innovation Team (HIT) we plan to partner with groups like Batter to bring delicious and high quality food products to market across multiple categories, not just ice cream. Our goal with Batter is simple, to bring the best and highest quality cookie dough product to market.

 

Batter will also offer catering, including cookie dough bars, individual servings, and cookies for any size event, from weddings and birthdays to corporate events and festivals.

GOLDEN EAGLE NOW OPEN IN ATLANTA’S REYNOLDSTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 11/12/17

Located Next To Its Newly Opened Sister Spot, Muchacho

Both Restaurants Are From Michael Lennox, Owner of Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall

 

 

Golden Eagle is now open in Atlanta’s Reynoldstown neighborhood. The restaurant is from Michael Lennox, owner of Atlanta favorite Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall, and opens directly onto the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail. Along with its sister spot, newly opened Muchacho, Golden Eagle is housed in a former rail depot at 904 Memorial Drive. Featuring distinct menus and design, the two restaurants are separated by an interior brick wall and share an expansive brick patio.

 

Lennox, an Atlanta native, is developing Golden Eagle largely as an homage to his grandparents, with a buttoned-down, retro aesthetic that channels the diamond-in-the-rough watering holes, neighborhood corner taverns and hotel lobby bars they would frequent in their native Pittsburgh. The restaurant showcases a dark, moody interior with wall-to-wall red plaid carpet, glowing custom lighting, low-slung crushed velvet seating all anchored by a large U-shaped bar and antique Art Deco backbar serving an extensive cocktail menu of accessible, boozy classics.

The food menu will recall no-nonsense, throwback continental classics of yesteryear, such as garlic knots, crab Rangoon, and charbroiled oysters, as well as thoughtful, shareable vegetable plates and a few larger items such as ricotta gnocchi and a tavern steak. Tall ceilings expose the building’s existing steel trusses, and woodgrain cabinet speakers will stream music from a reel-to-reel tape player. An outdoor patio comes alive with lush, tropical plants, vintage outdoor furniture and red and white umbrellas.

Key members of Golden Eagle’s team include Taria Camerino as Culinary Director (formerly of Sugar Coated Radical, Ford Fry Restaurants, Resurgens Hospitality and Tate Modern in London); Jason Simpson as Chef de Cuisine (formerly of St. Cecilia and Chef Josiah Citrin’s two-star Michelin restaurant Melisse in L.A.); Jeff Stockton as Bar Manager (formerly of Empire State South and top bartending programs in NYC); Nicholas Bown-Crawford as General Manager (formerly of Le Fat, Ton Ton, One Rooster, Concentrics Restuarants and Murphy’s).

Golden Eagle’s sister spot, Muchacho, is a casual hangout with a nod to 70’s era Venice Beach. The restaurant features a color palette of orange, yellow, and white, and counter service offers breakfast and lunch tacos, toasts, grain bowls, poke, pastries, coffee, and drinks.
