Atlanta, Unscrambled

By Carrie Neal Walden at August 4, 2010 | 9:43 am | Print

Let’s start with something fun . . . During August, breakfast and brunch at Pacci is a scramble of fun as Chef Keira Moritz teams up with the American Egg Board to bring you the “Scramble Gamble.” A special menu boasts items that will be on the house if you win a coin toss after your meal; even better, Pacci is working with the Good Egg Project and donating one egg for everyone who signs a petition in support of local hunger projects. Do good and eat well, too! If cocktails are more your thing, check out Tavern 99’s “flip for it” special on Thursday nights: sit at the bar, order a few rounds and if the coin flip goes your way, you’re drinking for free.

In other news, a number of spots have shuttered up in recent weeks, and a few potential new faves are set to open their doors soon. The south part of Buckhead said goodbye to specialty foods spot Savor and to Ibiza, Imperial Fez’s next-door companion. . . just to the north, longtime denizen Ribs, Etc. also folded up shop, all in the last week.

On the plus side, Decatur and the Highlands are celebrating the new additions of global cuisine at Isabelle’s Café and Goin’ Coastal has taken over the former Figo spot on Virginia Ave, next to Paolo’s (go fish then get your gelato for dessert!). Word on the street is that just around the corner from this changeover, Genki’s going to take over a soon-to-close Everybody’s . . . seems the Atlanta dining scene’s restaurant scramble is cooking on high heat with all kinds of ingredients in the mix!

One popular restaurant will soon undergo a name change . . . any guesses?

Stay tuned for updates and the latest dish.
