French eatery poised to replace Sugar Cakes Patisserie

MARIETTA — A new French restaurant is poised to replace Sugar Cakes Patisserie on Marietta Square. The restaurant, Bistro Beau Garcon, will be a "casual French bistro," chef Michael Fuller told the Marietta Historic Board of Review Monday. 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. Sugar Cakes Patisserie, which has been open for 20 years, is set to close by Nov. 8. The Journal was unable to

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
