The 7 Must-Visit New Restaurants of Spring 2024 | Bon Appétit
"A playful Viet‑Cajun barbecue spot in Atlanta’s East Lake neighborhood from Avery Cottrell, who moved from popping up around the city into a permanent magenta‑smoker–and‑neon‑sign space. Expect New Orleans–inspired riffs on barbecue like smoked gulf fish dip with buttered saltines, potato salad dressed in green goddess with gochugaru, and beef‑tallow refried beans, plus seasonal Georgia fruit hand pies and Biscoff banana pudding for dessert. The drinks program (designed by Miles Macquarrie) leans beachy and fun—frozen cocktails, Jell‑O shots, and a Bushwacker—and the restaurant will offer a weekend late‑night menu and Sunday barbecue brunch; the operation is even named for the chef’s 35‑pound orange‑and‑white cat." - ByKate Kassin
