What Restaurants Should I “Rereview?”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
10 DEGREES SOUTH: Ten years old and ready for a rereview. Look for it in the November 21 issue of the AJC’s Go Guide.

Market, Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s restaurant with a concept similar to his Mercer Kitchen restaurants in NYC, will open November 17 with Ian Winslade as chef de cuisine. Winslade will remain chef de cuisine of Spice Market as well.
From the press release:
“The multicultural menu features French, Asian and Italian inspirations coupled with alluringly familiar cuisine. From Maine lobster with crispy potatoes and spicy aioli, to bacon wrapped shrimp with avocado and passion fruit mustard, every appetizer and entree on the menu is an old-fashioned favorite with a modern twist.”
Meanwhile, there’s still no specific date set for the opening of Tom Colicchio’s Craft or Richard Blais’ FLIP. Craft was originally scheduled to open early fall of this year, but now reps for the Top Chef chef are saying the restaurant, with the same concept as Colicchio’s Craft in NYC, will be open in time for the holidays. FLIP is scheduled to open any day …
With so many new, high-profile openings, it’s easy to forget that there are lots of restaurants that need rereviews. I try to include a rereview at least once a month, when my schedule allows.
What’s a “rereview?” Many restaurants reviewed by the AJC — either by me, or former critics John Kessler and Elliot Mackle — are out of date. It’s my policy to try and make sure that restaurants reviewed by the AJC are at the most no older than five years old. (The top 50 selected for the Fall Dine Guide are rereviewed every year.) In addition to editorial fairness, this also helps us keep our online database current.
Believe me, it’s hard keeping up and keeping track. I’ll be the first to admit I fail at it regularly. So, help me out here — what’s a fave of yours that you’ve been wanting an update for?
