While we wait impatiently for food trucks to finally be permitted by the City of Atlanta’s licensing bureaucracy, one pair of entrepreneurs is gaining ground in the street food department. Streatery, a partnership between former tech industry-types Dave Liniado and Mike Fuller, sells quality hot dogs out of food carts positioned in various locations downtown. The duo navigated government red tape by partnering with General Growth Properties, a company that operates malls around the country and was recently hired by the city to help launch a new street vendor program (the program involves kiosks, not mobile food trucks, as detailed in this document).

Dinner Party 101: Let the Feast Begin
Posted 2/5/2010 10:32:00 AM
Editor’s note: Since we post plenty of news about restaurants on this blog, we thought it would be fun to introduce a feature that addresses the food experience at home. Meet Molly Irwin, a recent graduate of the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in Boston (and the magazine’s first dining-focused intern). If you have your own thoughts on the subject of dinner parties, please join in the conversation.—B.A.
Before I went to culinary school, I knew one thing only about hosting dinner parties—that they were excruciatingly stressful.

The hotel has also hired an executive chef, Olivier Gaupin. According to a profile on Naymz.com, Gaupin was educated in Orleans, France, and has a long history of working in some of the fancier hotels and resorts around the U.S.—including a stint in the kitchen at the Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead from 1997 to 1999 (which put him squarely in the middle of Guenter Seeger’s exit as the restaurant’s executive chef and Joel Antunes’ entrance). His most recent job has been as director of food and beverage/executive chef at Alys Beach Resort in Florida.
Frankly, it’s so far looking like a slow year for exciting restaurant openings in Atlanta. Please, Olivier ...
