    Jinya Ramen Bar is set to open November 11 in Alpharetta City Center. The restaurant is widely thought of as having the best ramen around. It is one of many new Alpharetta restaurants.

    The eatery recently received a shoutout from Chrissy Teigen, who posted online about her favorite Jinya Ramen Bar dish.

    New Alpharetta Restaurants: Jinya Ramen Bar

    “My pick is the spicy tonkotsu ramen,” she said. “It’s rich and tingly but not crazy-hot; the fire builds slowly with every slurp. Round out your meal with their buns, crispy chicken, and gyoza – if your kids don’t want ramen, they’ll destroy all of these and ask for seconds.” 

    For its Alpharetta debut, Jinya Ramen Bar is offering freebies as well. The first 50 people at 11 am. and 6 p.m. will receive a free ramen bowl.

    When it comes to new Alpharetta restaurants,  metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.

    New Restaurant Alert: The Deer And The Dove Opens In Decatur Square
    cj-johnson-2 June 18, 2019
    3 Min Read

    The Deer and The Dove is now open for business on the Decatur Square next week. Its sister restaurant, B-Side, has opened its doors as well.

    Both concepts come from Atlanta Chef Terry Koval, who has assembled an all-star culinary team to run the operations.

    What to know about the Deer and The Dove

    The Deer and The Dove focuses on dinner and weekend bunch while B-Side serves breakfast and lunch.

    The Deer and The Dove concentrates on seasonally driven dishes served on small plates accompanied by local cheeses, chef cured meats and fresh-baked breads.

    What’s on the menu at the Deer and The Dove?

    Full plates will include such hits as Whole Wood Roasted Bramlett Farm Trout with kale florets, green coriander cream, sweetbreads and nasturtium powder.

    Also on the menu will be the D&D Grilled Burger with thyme aioli, chanterelle mushrooms, gouda and truffle cheese, crispy shallots and salted egg yolk on a brioche bun and a Comfort Farms Bone-In Dry Aged Ribeye, served with a housemade anchovy & grilled onion relish and beef fat potatoes.

     

    What to know about B-Side restaurant in Decatur

    Inside B-Side, patrons can experience breakfast and lunch sandwiches that call to mind a New York-style bodega. That’s where customers will be able to enjoy Atlanta’s only wood-fired bagels, salads, soups and more.

    The owners envision B-Side as an inviting culinary spot for visiting chefs as well as local ones to host pop-up dinners. The eatery will have a full-service coffee bar.

    In late summer, B-Side will transition into a bar in the evenings. It will serve  natural wines, cocktails and small plates.

    Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.

    Fast-casual is also the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.

    Patrons typically order off a menu board like they would at a burger joint, but the convenience of sitting down to leisurely enjoy their food has made the segment a popular one with the restaurant industry.

    The food was superb, the offerings sublime, the settings were amazing. The Atlanta Food & Wine Festival 2019 showed why it is the premiere food event in the Southeast.

    The festival began Thursday, May, 30 2019 at 6:00 PM. The first event was called ” Stars Atlanta: Coming Together Over Exceptional Food and Wine in the Fight Against Prostate Cancer.”

    Atlanta Food & Wine Festival 2019: Review

    As with many others, the setup was very attendee-friendly and catered to those visiting the city for this joyous occasion.

    The chefs, makers and other talent were all in high spirits as they shared their secrets and culinary expertise with the crowds.

    As for me, it was my first Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, so I didn’t know quite what to expect. I found it pleasant, fun and exceptionally planned.

    Brunch… is served

    There were two notable brunches over the weekend that set the tone: Saturday’s Savor Arkansas and Sunday’s Great Bake Sale.

    The Savor Arkansas breakfast shone a spotlight on the culinary excellence of the Razorback state. The vendors not only put on a show of grace and hospitality, but the food was downright outstanding — exactly the kind of royal Southern meal you’d expect.

    The Great Bake Sale brunch featured bite-size concepts that catered to the sweet tooth. (S/O to the bread pudding).

    Of course, it wouldn’t be an Atlanta Food & Wine Festival event, without free-flowing libations to lighten the atmosphere and couple with sweetened palates.

    In Historic Fourth Ward Park is where the festival’s Tasting Tents were located. Thousands of foodies congregated over the three-day weekend to sample and savor the food from the region’s most renown eateries.

    To put it in a word, it was simply delicious (OK, two words).

    The Atlanta Food & Wine Festival is a well-organized machine that I would recommend times 10!

    Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.
