RUMOR HAS IT: Tom Catherall’s Home — Is it Closing?
A new foodie site, LizCooks, may seem familiar to you if you miss the voice of former AJC food writer Elizabeth Lee, who left the paper last August.
She’s got her own show here, from a six-part series on cooking a country ham to her hard-and-fast look at food news and trends. Take a look; if you like food, you’ll like her coverage.
And another restaurant blog popped up last year: FoodieBuddha. Other than referring to former AJC dining critic John Kessler as the AJC’s “Frank Bruni,” (my wounded ego will have to just get over that one) FoodieBuddha provides lots of good stuff for all those looking to know more about what we just can’t get enough of — restaurants. An email to foodiebuddha for more info was not returned …
I’ve been away for a much needed few days off, including a halt on dining out, other than a trip to FLIP last weekend for this week’s review.
So here’s some news, all sad:
The AJC’s Christopher Quinn and Tim Eberly are following a story of the shooting at the Standard on Memorial Drive where a bartender identified as John Henderson, 27, was shot to death during a robbery. He died at Grady. If you have information about John or his co-workers, or anything about the shooting, please email Tim at teberly@ajc.com.
And I have it on very good authority that Home, Tom Catherall’s venture into modern southern cuisine in Seeger’s old spot that touted Richard Blais as ‘top chef,’ is closing.

And another sad closing — Taurus.

Liz - Can’t agree with you more. Loved Taurus. Was always busy when I went. Great food - reasonable prices (for the type of restaurant). Such a shame… But it won’t be the last in this economy…

Thanks Liz — yes very sad. I’ll post a separate entry.
Still no word on whether Home is actually closing … working on it.

I am a family member of Carlos Stringer, the young man that was shot by police during a robbery. It was told to his wife that he had a gun but no gun was recovered. I know that he a robbery suspect, but that does not explain why he was shot in the back of his head if he had no gun. Who should the wife talk to,, because no one wants to talk to her. He has left eight children behind and the youngest is only ten months. Where does she go for answers and help. Why did the officer shot? What happen to the other person? Carlos is not here to answer any of his wife nor children question and no one is answering them for her. Help what do we do?
Thank you,
I do not want this to appear in the paper I just want some help and to close this for my family
