Etris Kitchen & Bar open in Roswell

Etris Kitchen & Bar has opened on Etris Road in the once-rural Sweet Apple Village section of Roswell, focusing on "farm to fork" cooking in a wood-burning oven and over an open-flame grill. The team includes Massi Mekhmoukh, a former general manager at Salt Factory and Inc. Street Food, and former personal chef David Guilford. On the lunch and dinner menus, look for the likes of deli sandwiches, brick oven pizzas, garlic rosemary-rubbed rack of lamb and cedar plank salmon, plus vegetarian entrees, such as broccoli rabe with fresh pasta, roasted garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. 12020 Etris Road, Roswell. 770-545-8650, etriskitchen.com.

Park’s Edge closed, Victory opening

Park's Edge on Bernina Avenue in Inman Park has closed, but will reopen soon in a new Midtown location, according to Eater Atlanta. Victory Sandwich Bar, which lost its original Inman Park location to the 280 Elizabeth mixed-use development, is set to open in the Park's Edge space in the spring. In 2011, Park's Edge had the odd distinction of undergoing a Gordon Ramsay "Kitchen Nightmares" makeover, then failing its health inspection. In early 2013, Victory opened its second location in Decatur, and shortly after added Paper Plane to the mix. 340 Church St. N.E., Decatur. 404-377-9300, vicsandwich.com.

Sandwiches and plates will be served 11 a.m.-6 p.m. At 7 p.m., there will be a $100 multicourse dinner with all proceeds going to help Scott rebuild. Reservations: 404-380-1886.

Sweetwater brew for Giving Kitchen

Sweetwater Brewing has been collaborating with the Giving Kitchen to create a limited release specialty beer to raise awareness and help fund the nonprofit's mission to provide crisis grants to members of Atlanta's restaurant community. Chef Ryan Hidinger, whose cancer diagnosis spawned the cause, helped create the recipe for Second Helping IPA, which will be distributed later this month in Georgia in 22-ounce bottles, with all profits from the beer donated to TGK by Sweetwater and United Distributors. thegivingkitchen.org.
