Restaurants Shaun's to celebrate second anniversary

Shaun's marks its second anniversary next week, so Wayne and I decided to visit the restaurant last Sunday to see how things were going.

We had a fantastic meal, including this entree of grilled squab served over spaghetti squash with roasted chestnuts. A particular standout was a soup of organic eggplant. If you see it on the menu, do not miss it. And do not miss the oxtail parmentier, a special, either.

Our server, Owen, was unusually knowledgeable. My ordinary questions about ingredients did not have him running back and forth to the kitchen. Ask for him.

Among the events on tap to celebrate the restaurant's second birthday is a special dinner prepared by owner/chef Shaun Doty and "Top Chef" finalist Richard Blais. They will prepare a five-course dinner on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Cost is $65 ($85 with wine pairings). Ten percent of the proceeds will benefit the Believe in Me Foundation, which supports services for children with autism and other developmental disorders. Doty co-founded the organization.

You can learn about the other events, including a half-price neighborhood dinner, by visiting the news and events section of the restaurant's website.

I'll have more to say about our meal in an upcoming Grazing column.

Owen used to work at the now-defunct CB South in Dunwoody. He takes good care of you. We'll have to make a trip to Shaun's to see him.

Shaun's has duck-fat-fried french fries. They will change your life. Unbelievable.

Yes, Lauren, I ordered the beef tartare and it was accompanied by the duck-fat fries. I asked for some malt vinegar to take the edge off. Owen told me he last worked at Cuerno.
