Aja opens, Catherall to be roasted alive

Posted by Cliff Bostock on Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 2:37 AM

Aja, the latest Tom Catherall restaurant, opened Nov. 7 in the space formerly occupied by Emeril's (3500 Lenox Rd.). Catherall has hired William Sigley, who has worked at Wolfgang Puck's Chinois and Todd English's Olives, as chef.

The menu is pan-Asian. You can find more details on the Here to Serve website. I can't wait to see the 10-ft. brass Buddha.

Speaking of Catherall, I found this on his blog:

For the first time ever, four distinctive Atlanta restaurateurs – Pano Karatassos, Bob Amick, Tom Catherall and George McKerrow – will be roasted and toasted at 4 Legends of Atlanta Hospitality Roast on Monday evening, Nov. 17, at 6 p.m. at the Atlanta Community Food Bank. They are all sure to feel the heat, but they know it’s for a tremendous cause – to support the hungry and the work of the Atlanta Community Food Bank this holiday season.

Following a cocktail reception, foodies, philanthropists, and socialites will be treated to a delectable three course meal and dessert reception, prepared by four-star chefs Peter Kaiser, Jamie Adams, Carvel Gould and Jonathan St. Hilaire, each adding their own special flair and elegance to the evening. Atlanta magazine restaurant critic Christiane Lauterbauch will provide the evening’s introductions, and Carolyn O’Neil will emcee the Roast.

For more information, sponsorship opportunities or to purchase tickets, visit www.ACFB.org/ROAST or call 678-538-9000.

Tickets are $300-$500.

Aja's food looks like it came right off the PF Chang's and Panda Expwess's menu... when did pho have chicken or shrimp in it? and for $16 you can feed 3 people on buford hwy for the authentic stuff... this place will get "roasted" alright...
