Two more chefs - both women - will represent Georgia on “Top Chef.” Janine Falvo of Briza Restaurant in Atlanta and Whitney Otawka of Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island (yep, the rumors were true!) will appear on the upcoming season of “Top Chef,” shot in Texas and premiering on November 2. You can check out their audition videos to see what they are all about. This season’s “Top Chef” will feature almost twice as many chefs as usual and also give eliminated contestants a second chance through a web series called “Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen.”
HD1, the new hot dog concept from Richard Blais, opened last week, so go get your wiener on. Cliff made an early visit last week. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.
Guy Wong, owner of Miso Izakaya, is hinting on Facebook that he has a new project in the works, although he’s keeping mum for now on the exact nature of the beast.
Kirkwood is getting a new upscale pub in the space that housed Ace’s and the short-lived reincarnation, Jak’s All Inn. The new spot will be called Pullman and they are planning to open this fall.
Thrillist reports on Sack Lunch Co., a new to-go stand located downtown where you can pick up a nostalgic lunch — complete with a juice box and a note from “mom.” Really. Cute idea, but do adults really still want to eat Fruit Roll-Ups?
