The concepts that make up the Canteen, which the General Muir’s Todd Ginsberg and his partners opened near Georgia Tech in June, aren’t necessarily new, but packed into what they’re calling a “micro food hall," they feel fresh.

Community Farmers Markets—a nonprofit network that likely includes at least one of your favorite Atlanta farmers markets—is hosting its inaugural Red Clay Soirée fundraising gala on Friday, November 10. The event will feature chefs from Kimball House, 8 Arm, the General Muir, Rising Sun, El Super Pan, and other favorite Atlanta restaurants.

After more than 40 years of professional dining experience, I can safely say this: The later you eat, the worse you are likely to eat.

The Westside has a new health-focused, fast-casual restaurant, Buford Highway gets a Bangladeshi newcomer, and you have to try Midtown's new micro food hall, The Canteen

A handful of new dishes will be exclusive to the micro food hall from the General Muir team, which opened in Midtown on Monday.

When Todd Ginsberg opened this bakery next door to his flagship restaurant, the General Muir, we knew it would serve as bread-making HQ for his operations, including West Egg, Fred’s Meat & Bread, and Yalla.

When chef Todd Ginsberg set out to open The General Muir in 2013, he wanted to create a restaurant that paid homage to the delis that he and his parents grew up dining at. He planned to serve his childhood favorites, like matzoh ball soup, corned beef, and a pastrami sandwich, but there was one problem. “When I told my parents I was going to open a deli, my dad looked at me and said, ‘Todd, you don’t know how to make pastrami.'"

You’ve probably been brown-bagging sandwiches since kindergarten. But eventually you reach a point when PB&J doesn’t cut it anymore.

Located in the space formerly home to the Spence in Midtown, the Canteen will feature mini outposts of Fred’s Meat & Bread and Yalla, a spinoff of the General Muir called TGM Bagel, and a combination juice bar/liquor bar named Square Bar.

Chef Todd Ginsberg remembers watching his mom and aunts dance around the kitchen during Passover. They cooked heaping plates of charoset, matzoh ball soup, and brisket for more than 40 family members. It was a special holiday, one reserved for the family. When Ginsberg opened the General Muir in 2012, he wanted to extend the tradition to the rest of Atlanta.
