This just in from the PR folks:
ATLANTA (October 28, 2008) – Culinary Concepts by Jean-Georges will open the globally celebrated chef’s second Atlanta restaurant, Market, in the new W Buckhead in November. “With Atlanta’s expanding gastronomic scene,” says Vongerichten, “I am excited to open a restaurant in Buckhead’s vibrant and energetic neighborhood.”
...Emphasizing comfort and creativity, the menu will reinvent classic dishes with eclectic flair, allowing guests to try new flavor combinations and explore spices from other regions, all while remaining close to home. Traditional dishes crafted with seasonal market ingredients, from truffle fontina pizza to glazed beef short ribs, carrot puree and honshimeji mushrooms will enliven the senses and satisfy any craving.
Ian Winslade joins Market as Chef de Cuisine. Prior to his current work at Spice Market, Winslade was at the helm of Atlanta restaurants including BluePointe and Shout.
...Upon entering the restaurant, guests are greeted by a vibrant chandelier of mirrored Murano glass, which reflects teardrops of light on bamboo backdrops. Intimate nooks are throughout, and hidden lights cast a calming glow through ornate wall cut outs. The ovular-shaped foyer offers a glimpse into the cosmopolitan dining room, reflecting the charm of Buckhead’s vibrant personality. The outdoor patio will be an ode to al fresco luxury, with its skyline views and tranquil décor.
...The multicultural menu features French, Asian and Italian inspirations coupled with alluringly familiar cuisine. From Maine lobster with crispy potatoes and spicy aioli, to bacon wrapped shrimp with avocado and passion fruit mustard, every appetizer and entree on the menu is an old-fashioned favorite with a modern twist.
