Michael Tuohy has sold Woodfire Grill and new owners Nicolas Quinones and Bernard Moussa take over ownership today. Tuohy’s chef de cuisine, Kevin Gillespie, will serve as the iconoclastic restaurant’s chef, and the farm-to-table vision Tuohy has been so lauded for, as well as the restaurant’s name, will remain intact. Quinones and Moussa worked together for four years at Loca Luna as manager and assistant manager.
Tuohy’s last day at the restaurant before leaving for his homestate of California will be August 12.

IS HOLEMAN & FINCH PUBLIC HOUSE YOUR PICK FOR BEST NEW RESTAURANT IN 2008? Photo: Becky Stein/Special to the AJC
The review this week in today’s Living section takes a look at an impressive new restaurant from Jay Swift, formerly of South City Kitchen. He makes his mark subtly, unlike the cooking he did at SCK. You can read the review here.
The opening is truly one of the most memorable for the year. And that’s saying a lot: Parish, Home, Spice Market, Straits, Holeman & Finch Public House, Cakes & Ale and more have all opened this year — and all are impressive standouts in a city that is proving it truly loves its restaurants.
What’s your pick for best new restaurant in 2008?
