DEL.ICIO.USChef Linton Hopkins and Cakes & Ale Featured in Bon Appetit
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ATLANTA IS FEATURED IN JANUARY BON APPETIT
The Magazine goes on sale January 9, 2009.
Well, it’s taken a while, but Southern chefs and food writers have finally gotten Southern cuisine back to its roots, and front and center in national publications. January’s Bon Appetit, which will feature the mag’s predictions for 2009, touts “new Southern cuisine” as the cuisine to follow in 2009.
And to get folks in the mood, our own Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene, Holeman & Finch and H & F Bread Co. is featured with recipes highlighting, in his words, “gussied up” beet salad with cornbread croutons and crispy ham, and brioche-crusted fish with Jerusalem artichoke puree and pickles. “You don’t need to go to New York or Chicago or Paris to be a great chef,” Hopkins is quoted as saying. “You can cook cook Southern food with the same passion and integrity.”
Also in the January issue, the editors choose their top picks for the new “gastro tavern,” and Cakes & Ale in Decatur (which just keeps getting better and better every time I visit — a winter broccoli salad was a welcome forkful on my last time in) is on the list.
Bravo!
And more in the news: Serpas True food, chef Scott Serpas’ new place located at the Pavilion at Studioplex in the Old Fourth Ward, is scheduled to open in mid-January.
