Brisket recipe

On the Food & More blog, I shared some recipes for Seder dinner including foolproof matzo balls and brisket, a la my mother. The brisket recipe is vague, but it’s an easy one. What did you make? Share with us on our blog.

Georgia foods featured

Mantry, a food-of-the-month club featuring artisan foods from around the country, featured six Georgia products curated by chef Hugh Acheson in March. Subscriptions to Mantry (Modern Man’s Pantry) cost $75 per month and come with recipes for using the products. I’d say this isn’t just for the modern man.

Modern closure

A few weeks ago, Modern Restaurant and Bar posted a sign on the door stating that it was temporarily closed due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The restaurant’s voice mail says that it is working on “improvements to our menu, staff and service.” The exact cause for the closure remains unconfirmed, but all signs point toward a drastic reorganization within the still-new restaurant.
