Restaurants

Sobban

Jiyeon Lee and Cody Taylor have followed their success with tiny Heirloom Market BBQ (which we named the best barbecue in Atlanta last year) by opening a restaurant that bills itself as a “Korean Southern diner.” In other words, the short, revolving menu mingles Korean standards with a few innovations that pull in Southern influence. Look for cross-cultural brainstorms like pork donkatsu (a breaded chop) with sweet potato–carrot mousse, fried chicken wings with chile-ginger glaze, and, at lunch, rice and beans with kimchi. The restaurant’s retro building, originally an Arby’s, is a kooky bonus.
