Mujo—easily the most refined spot to open in Atlanta in more than a decade—is luxury dining at its creative best.

With thousands of dollars worth of produce and meats in their fridges, Double Zero and other Castellucci Hospitality Group restaurants were quickly trying to use up their supplies and hand out free meals to their hourly employees—who will likely be without work for the foreseeable future.

Where Iberian Pig takes its inspiration from all of Spain, Cooks & Soldiers focuses on the Basque region, which gained an international profile during the craze over molecular gastronomy and its first exponent, Ferran Adrià of elBulli.

When it rains, it pours. Not only are a host of stalls set to open next week at Krog Street Market, but also Fred Castellucci's Cooks & Soldiers will be opening Monday on the Westside at the corner of 14th and Howell Mill. Both venues had hoped to open earlier this year in the spring

The restaurateurs behind the Iberian Pig in Decatur, Double Zero Napoletana in Sandy Springs, and Sugo Kitchen in Johns Creek are crossing into Westside with the opening of Cooks & Soldiers this summer. The family-run Castellucci Hospitality Group will open a Basque-inspired restaurant serving traditional cuisine in the new Elan Westside building at 691 14th Street. They recently started construction on the space and hope for an August or early September opening.
