ATL Food Chatter: August 23, 2011 (To receive the Chatter and other culinary tidbits directly in your inbox, sign up for our weekly dining newsletter) The 5 Napkin Burger that opened last Monday in the former Nickiemoto’s space may be the sixth store for the New York-based company, but the sleek Midtown project also included a couple of company firsts—including a spacious patio and a local partner, Kathy Tuchman, who sold the 5 Napkin team on the city and the site. Tuchman, a former New Yorker who has lived in the South for ten years, fell in love with the concept when she attended the opening of the original 5 Napkin Burger on the Upper Westside. She has a culinary background that includes private chef work and operating a small catering company. She helped with the planning and design process for the local 5 Napkins, which included recruiting Johnson Studio to design the space and hiring local chefs Ian Forrest and Jason Davis to run the kitchen.
