The Hearty Breakfast At This Georgia Diner Makes Chain Restaurants Look Overpriced

The biscuits here are multi-grain, and they come with house-made preserves. That alone made me stop scrolling. A biscuit with a crunchy crust and a healthy twist sounds like a rule being broken in the best way. The kitchen also smokes its own Italian sausage, turkey, and chicken. Skillet dishes...

Award-winning chef bringing burger and cheesesteak restaurant to Marietta Square

MARIETTA — A burger and cheesesteak restaurant headed by award-winning chef Todd Ginsberg is coming to Marietta Square. Two Bells Meats will take the place of outgoing restaurant Boru Ramen and Poke Bar at 154 Roswell Street, just off South Park Square near The Marietta Local. The shop’s menu includes homemade cheesesteaks, burgers and hand-cut fries. “The menu is super simple,” Ginsberg said. “We’re definitely a meat-centric restaurant.” Two Bells Meats is scheduled to open sometime before Thanksgiving, according to Ginsberg. The chef plans to bring his own unique flavors and twists to the classic offerings. Sandwiching the cheesesteak together will be two pieces of a sesame baguette, and customers can top their sandwiches with either pickled cherry pepper or roasted long hots, or Italian roasted hot peppers. Each burger will feature nine ounces of Angus beef ribeye that can be served in a variety of grinds, depending on the customers’ preferences. Given the cheesesteak’s tie to Philadelphia, the name Two Bells Meats comes from two inspirations: the Liberty Bell and the various church bells heard around Marietta Square, according to Ginsberg, who will serve as chef partner at his newest establishment. “When you think of Philly, I think of

Fuller is the executive chef and co-owner of Mac's Raw Bar and Mac's Chophouse. He said the new restaurant goes back to his roots as a chef. "It's a very personal project for me. Bistro Beau Garcon, 'Beau Garcon' means 'beautiful baby boy' or 'sweet baby boy,' which is what I've called my son all his life. So it's kind of a love note to my son." Fuller told the Journal he is still working out the final details for the restaurant and is not yet ready to share more info. He said he aims to open by Valentine's Day and renovations will include a refresh of the space. The Historic Board of Review approved the request for a new sign and the addition of six windows on the upper floor of the building, located at 101 North Park Square.

AROUND TOWN: More redevelopment happening in downtown Lawrenceville

A longtime eatery on the Lawrenceville Square is moving? A bakery/coffee shop may be going in the Lawrenceville Train Depot? There’s a lot happening in the heart of Lawrenceville. After the Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit concluded last week, Lawrenceville City Manager Chuck Warbington gave the Daily Post a tease of some redevelopment that is happening in the city’s downtown and depot districts. One bit of redevelopment is actually a relocation. Blue Rooster Bake Shop and Eatery is planning to move off the Lawrenceville Square and head a couple of blocks up North Clayton Street to a new location in the Depot District. Blue Rooster has been on the square, directly across from the north entrance to the Gwinnett County Historic Courthouse, for years, but that will change in the not too distant future. The bakery is currently renovating an old business space at the corner of North Clayton and Born Streets with plans to move into that location once the renovations are finished. “They’ve torn all of the stuff off the sides of the building,” Warbington said. “It looks like a shed now but they’re actually going to be upgrading that. That will be our first food concept down there

A groundbreaking ceremony included Walmart executives, local elected officials, and others at the site was dedicated in Franklin County near the I-85 corridor.
