Restaurants Newbies and soon-to-be newbies

Posted by Cliff Bostock on Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 4:01 PM

Kozmo Gastro Pub (11890 Douglas Rd, 678-526-6094) is opening Tuesday, Feb. 3, in Johns Creek. Owner is Oswald Morgan and chef is Travis Collum. Star mixologist is Jimmy Rudnick.

The menu includes starters like tempura-fried green beans and herbed popcorn. Entrees include short ribs with cauliflower mash, roasted chicken, fried chicken and hamburgers....

This just in: "After two years in the making, the City of Atlanta has approved the plans for The Mix, a multi-story retail, restaurant and residential project  at 841 North Highland Ave." Construction is scheduled to begin in April. It will be interesting to see if the development attracts another round of out-of-town, big-name retaurateurs....

This from the folks at Liz Lapidus: "Slated to open February 5 in Atlanta’s W Atlanta-Downtown hotel,  Drinkshop will be the city’s first-ever haute-cocktail beverage program with a focus on fresh ingredients and a selection of ices. Developed by David Tetens of Starwood Hotels, and Sasha Petraske, world class mixologist credited with New York ventures Milk and Honey and Little Branch, the focus of DRINKSHOP will be to take patrons back to the 1920’s and 30’s, before invention of ice machines and soda guns."

A selection of ices? Come on, how pretentious is that? And back to the 20s and 30s? Will they specialize in old fashions, side cars, and manhattans?

I thought Trois already does that.

Fabulous.. nothing like more traffic to add to the already jammed up 2 lane N Highland Ave. Fun times.

Considering the state of the economy, it'll likely be more '30s than '20s, AJT.

When does having a selection of various ices become pretentious? What sort of logic is that?
