Bartaco now open
Barcelona Wine Bar spinoff Bartaco is open in the Dixie Packing building on Atlanta's Westside. With four locations in New York and Connecticut, the Mexican-style concept features "upscale street food," including tacos with the likes of fried oysters, wild boar and sesame rib-eye, plus tamales, gorditas, rice bowls and chef's combo trays. 969 Marietta St. NW, Atlanta. 404-607-8226.
Delia’s now open
The second location of Delia's Chicken Sausage Stand is open on Marietta Street on Atlanta's Westside. Look for the same menu of locally sourced chicken sausage "slingers" served on hoagie rolls, along with sliders and breakfast anytime items. New wrinkles include more outdoor seating on the patio and rooftop, and a soda fountain. 881 Marietta St. NW, Atlanta. 404-254-0408.
Illegal Food out
Known as a contender for Atlanta's best burgers, Illegal Food came to fame as a pop-up turned resident in the kitchen at the Joystick Gamebar lounge in the Old Fourth Ward. But now, according to the Illegal Facebook page, the Joystick partnership will come to an end in August. That means there's sure to be a run on the "Hank" and other burger favorites. 427 Edgewood Ave. SE, Atlanta. 404-401-7155.
Gusto coming soon
Tomorrow's News Today reports that former NFL quarterback Nate Hybl is set to open Gusto Wood Fire Grill later this summer. The space in the Brookwood Village shopping center across from Piedmont Hospital was most recently home to a Saigon Cafe location. The Gusto website is still under construction, but the concept looks to be a healthy food franchise in the making. 1935 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta. 404-557-0786.
