Omnivore - Kool Korners coming back?

Havana Grill opens on Buford Highway

Lance Gummere, chef at the Shed on Glenwood, writes this tantalizing bit: “Saw a sign for Kool Korners in the new building where the old one stood (on 14th Street). Got the scoop? I don’t but I’d love to read about it.”

I haven’t been able to get the story yet. Anyone know anything?....

I’ve also received this notice from Dara Berendt: “Just a note to let you know that Havana Grill is now open. We opened last Wednesday. Hope you can stop by for “A delightful Cuban Experience”!  This email is not meant to bring up the everlasting controversy over the two Havanas. We are sooooooooo over that. Havana Grill is one of many Cuban restaurants in Atlanta, and if I do say so myself, one of the best!”

Well, I can’t really print Dara’s email without bringing up the controversy to which she alludes. But rather than reiterate it here, I’ll refer you to Jennifer Zyman’s account of how two restaurants came to claim to be the natural heirs to the long popular Havana Sandwich Shop, which burned a few years ago.

The new restaurant is located at 3373 Buford Hwy. (404-633-4999).
