Previously reported as ‘Antico Gelateria,’ we’ve learned that Giovanni Di Palma’s forthcoming Italian gelateria and cafe will be called Bar Antico. Bar Antico will specialize in eight original gelato flavors, coffee, and a limoncello bar.

Culinary Concepts Hospitality Group (CCHG) has announced that a new gastropub, Cook Hall, will replace Market at W Buckhead. With today’s modern chef in mind, Cook Hall hopes to become “a place where chefs would dream of gathering.” James Beard award winner Belinda Chang (alum of New York’s Monkey Bar and The Modern, as well as Charlie Trotter’s of Chicago) will head Cook Hall’s bar program. Executive chef David Gross will helm the kitchen at Cook Hall, overseeing a menu composed mostly of shareable small plates.

Mae’s Bakery will open in Buckhead Friday, at 2770 Lenox Road. Mae’s will feature a full selection of “made-from-scratch” baked goods, including cookies, cupcakes, whoopie pies, muffins and more. Fahra Krifkovic, formerly of Southern Sweets in Decatur, will serve as Mae’s head baker, and Brandon Malcolm, former coffee manager at Empire State South, will oversee Mae’s coffee program, serving Counter Culture Coffee.

Sugar-Coated Radical, pastry chef Taria Camerino’s “experimental” chocolate shop, has relocated to Reynoldstown. The shop, which closed its Old Fourth Ward location back in June, will soon open its new location at 889 Wylie St. “We are super excited about getting back to our roots of experimental food society,” Camerino said via Facebook.

Bone Lick BBQ is officially open in West Midtown. After a few years of serving his awarding-winning barbecue weekly at P’cheen International Bistro, chef Mike LaSage’s barbecue and other offerings will be available for lunch, dinner, and delivery every Tuesday through Sunday at his newest establishment, Bone Lick BBQ.
