One where you can shop and grab dinner. Chef Hector Santiago's much beloved burrito stand, El Burro Pollo, is making an appearance at Thursday's East Atlanta Village (EAV) Farmers Market. What better pop-up could there be than one serving a meal that combines utility with taste? El Burro Pollo's braised chicken barbacoa, bandarita sauces, and crunchy slaw in charred edible packaging are perfect for perusing the market's goods. Santiago will be there for the duration of the market which runs from 4 to 8pm. The market is full of excitement this week with the addition of neighborhood restaurant We Suki Suki. Their authentic Banh Mi combination of crispy French bread, zingy pickled carrots and daikon, and Vietnamese mayo makes for another (or an additional) choice for dinner. *http://clatl.com/atlanta/ImageArchives?by=1223504 *Philip Meeker of Bright Seed Finish either (or both) of these handheld treats and mosey over to the demo booth for seasonal, hands-on cooking with classically trained chef Philip Meeker who will utilize produce from the market and school you on what to do with those kale florets or stinging nettles. Meeker, formerly of Kimball House now runs Bright Seed, his business which teaches how to cook and eat well with customized meal plans for home, cooking classes, and garden planting.

Ahead of the popular event, we caught up down with its creator for some intel. What's it all about, this fete in celebration of the tomato? We went straight to the source and asked restaurant king Ford Fry about his quirky summertime food fest: Where did this idea of a tomato festival come from? It was during our first year at JCT. where we were really starting to see all the local tomatoes from local farms coming into the restaurant. They were so great. They (farmers) had tons and they were trying to unload all of them. I guess it was a good year for tomatoes. I watched the movies (Attack of the Killer Tomato) when I was young and really dug them. This paired with my desire to have a festival...a quirky one...is how it began. Food should be fun. *Andrew Thomas Lee *Ford Fry rocking out at the Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival Is there a dish from the last six AKTF that is the most memorable? Yes — a few years ago Brian Horn (JCT. Kitchen) made a tomato jelly doughnut filled with a bacon fat mayo. It was a thing of beauty. The bartenders really go all out too. I remember one year watching Miles and Shanna sweaty and shaking {cocktails] and smiling, just having such a good time all while being pummeled by people waiting on cocktails. They played the part well. You have sort of answered this before, but why the tomato? why not a Georgia peach? Tomatoes in Georgia are awesome. More fun than peaches. I never really thought about doing a festival around a peach. There was never an Attack of the Killer Peach movie, I guess. What is your favorite part of AKTF? I like to see all the chefs really go all out on their table. I have never seen chefs go all out like that at other events especially with such a funky theme. The crew from Holeman and Finch and Restaurant Eugene spelled out their logo with cherry tomatoes and toothpicks. It was amazing. I also love the chef dunking booth we did a couple of years ago. It's coming back this year. I have a campaign going to get Hector Santiago in it in a speedo. The Latin lover in a speedo, bare chested. Tell your friends. Tell us about the judges. We have always had really great people judge the festival: Andrew Knowlton from Bon Appetite, Kate Krader from Food and Wine, The Lee Brothers, Costa Dillon from the original Attack of the Killer Tomato movie... This year our team has a great group again. (Evan Mah from Atlanta Magazine, Costa Dillon, Daniel Gritzer from Serious Eats, Chuck Reece from the Bitter Southerner, and Jordana Rothman from Time Out New York) Your band made of chefs, Five Bone Rack, always plays at the festival. How did this come about? It started with me on guitar, Gary Mennie (formerly Table 1280) on drums, and Joe Truex (formerly Watershed on Peachtree) as our singer. We started talking about forming a band. We thought it would be fun, It has morphed over the years. We found Ted Lahey (Table and Main) as a singer. The name came from Joe Truex, I think. We were sitting around the Local, five chefs, and he thought of it. The cool thing is that the expectation of a bunch of chefs playing music is really low. We sound a little better than people thought we would. Can we expect anything new this year, besides the Chef Hector in a speedo possibility? The Band. I hired these guys to play our employee party at the Goat Farm-Ill Communication. They are really fun. Young people and older people can relate to them. Also, since it doesn't seem fair that all of our restaurants compete, each will host someone from out of town and team up with them. Lots of strong chefs from the south. We put them up so they have a great time. This year's Attack of the Killer Tomato will be held Sun., July 19, 1-5 p.m. at JCT. Kitchen and Bar. Purchase tickets here.

I like to see all the chefs really go all out on their table. I have never seen chefs go all out like that at other events especially with such a funky theme. The crew from Holeman and Finch and Restaurant Eugene spelled out their logo with cherry tomatoes and toothpicks. It was amazing. I also love the chef dunking booth we did a couple of years ago. It's coming back this year. I have a campaign going to get Hector Santiago in it in a speedo. The Latin lover in a speedo, bare chested. Tell your friends. Tell us about the judges. We have always had really great people judge the festival: Andrew Knowlton from Bon Appetite, Kate Krader from Food and Wine, The Lee Brothers, Costa Dillon from the original Attack of the Killer Tomato movie... This year our team has a great group again. (Evan Mah from Atlanta Magazine, Costa Dillon, Daniel Gritzer from Serious Eats, Chuck Reece from the Bitter Southerner, and Jordana Rothman from Time Out New York) Your band made of chefs, Five Bone Rack, always plays at the festival. How did this come about? It started with me on guitar, Gary Mennie (formerly Table 1280) on drums, and Joe Truex (formerly Watershed on Peachtree) as our singer. We started talking about forming a band. We thought it would be fun, It has morphed over the years. We found Ted Lahey (Table and Main) as a singer. The name came from Joe Truex, I think. We were sitting around the Local, five chefs, and he thought of it. The cool thing is that the expectation of a bunch of chefs playing music is really low. We sound a little better than people thought we would. Can we expect anything new this year, besides the Chef Hector in a speedo possibility? The Band. I hired these guys to play our employee party at the Goat Farm-Ill Communication. They are really fun. Young people and older people can relate to them. Also, since it doesn't seem fair that all of our restaurants compete, each will host someone from out of town and team up with them. Lots of strong chefs from the south. We put them up so they have a great time. This year's Attack of the Killer Tomato will be held Sun., July 19, 1-5 p.m. at JCT. Kitchen and Bar. Purchase tickets here. Proceeds from this year's festival benefit Georgia Organics and the Giving Kitchen. The 2014 festival raised close to $120,000.

The decision, according to Leslie Santiago, co-owner and wife of chef Hector Santiago, follows months of unsuccessful lease negotiations. The closing comes after 11 years at its North Highland Ave. location. Sound familiar? The city lost another pan-Latin restaurant about this time last year when Tierra closed its doors after 10 years in business. Lease negotiations were part of Dan and Ticha Krinsky's decision. Besides depriving the city of brilliantly conceived tapas (temporarily, I hope!), the closing renders the restaurant's entire staff unemployed.

If you are currently looking for staff or managers, please reach out to me, so we can see if Pura Vida has anyone that might fit your needs. I'd love to see my entire staff with jobs lined up before the end of the year. Email Leslie or call 404-870-9797. The Santiagos are also seeking investors and partners interested in new ventures.

Call Pura Vida ben.eason Ben Eason Cliff Bostock cliffbostock (Cliff Bostock) 2012-12-21T16:40:00+00:00 *Courtesy of www.flavorsmagazine.com *Hector & Leslie Santiago Like many others, I'm sad, shocked, and a bit angry that Pura Vida is closing at the end of the month. The restaurant, as I wrote recently, is my favorite for casual, affordable dining in the city. The decision, according to Leslie Santiago, co-owner and wife of chef Hector Santiago, follows months of unsuccessful lease negotiations. The closing comes after 11 years at its North Highland Ave. location. Sound familiar? The city lost another pan-Latin restaurant about this time last year when Tierra closed its doors after 10 years in business. Lease negotiations were part of Dan and Ticha Krinsky's decision. Besides depriving the city of brilliantly conceived tapas (temporarily, I hope!), the closing renders the restaurant's entire staff unemployed. On her personal Facebook page Leslie writes this: For all my restaurant industry friends, we have a whole staff here who will be looking for new positions. If you are currently looking for staff or managers, please reach out to me, so we can see if Pura Vida has anyone that might fit your needs. I'd love to see my entire staff with jobs lined up before the end of the year. Email Leslie or call 404-870-9797. The Santiagos are also seeking investors and partners interested in new ventures. Both Leslie's Facebook page and the restaurant's are packed with disappointed posts and good wishes.

Last summer, as if he didn’t have enough to do — did I mention catering too? — he opened Burro-Pollo, a burrito stand in the parking lot across the street from Pura Vida.

Santiago, spreads deliciously spicy shredded chicken over the tortilla, adds crema and an airy salad of shaved radishes and greenery. You’ll also feel the sour burn of tomatillo sauce, if you request it. You can select the “normal” $7 size or a monster for $11. The latter literally contains “about half a chicken,” according to Santiago’s wife Leslie, who was working the stand with him Sunday. But wait, there’s more. My understanding is that the stand often offers pozole, but Sunday it was a flat-out amazing chili full of red beans and chunks of (what I assume was) pork belly. A Peruvian-style aqua fresca made with everything from tamarind to blue corn was also available, along with the most amazing hot chocolate you’ll taste in our city.

Pura Vida and its adjoining sandwich shop, Super Pan, are among my favorite eateries in the city. Hector Santiago, owner-chef of both, is a brilliant manipulator of Hispanic and Spanish tastes and textures. But I hadn’t made it to another of his ventures until Sunday. Last summer, as if he didn’t have enough to do — did I mention catering too? — he opened Burro-Pollo, a burrito stand in the parking lot across the street from Pura Vida. It’s open only 12 noon-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and sells only two burritos — one made with chicken and the other made with tofu. The chicken version is so good you'll be glad you can only get one on the weekend. First, there is the tortilla, grilled until slightly blackened. Santiago, spreads deliciously spicy shredded chicken over the tortilla, adds crema and an airy salad of shaved radishes and greenery. You’ll also feel the sour burn of tomatillo sauce, if you request it. You can select the “normal” $7 size or a monster for $11. The latter literally contains “about half a chicken,” according to Santiago’s wife Leslie, who was working the stand with him Sunday. But wait, there’s more. My understanding is that the stand often offers pozole, but Sunday it was a flat-out amazing chili full of red beans and chunks of (what I assume was) pork belly. A Peruvian-style aqua fresca made with everything from tamarind to blue corn was also available, along with the most amazing hot chocolate you’ll taste in our city. I’m talking liquefied pudding made with good chocolate. There is, by the way, a picnic table on the premises, but the cold weather motivated us to take our order home. The burritos, wrapped in newspapers, held up quite well. www.puravidatapas.com Hector Santiago 0,0,10 hector.santiago (itemId:470526 trackerid:9) "Super Pan" "Pura Vida" "Hector Santiago" "Burro-Pollo" 2699331 13057985 Omnivore - I will not order the $11 burrito, I swear " ["score"]=> float(0) ["_index"]=> string(35) "atlantawiki_tiki_main_628b22e1ad399" ["objectlink"]=> string(230) " Omnivore - I will not order the $11 burrito, I swear" ["photos"]=> string(136) "" ["desc"]=> string(31) "A visit to Burro-Pollo" }
