Seven - Poke Burri

03/13/19 • 36 min

Poke has moved far past the realm of being something new or a fad. It’s settled in the realm of being a norm. It has its own category of dining. It isn’t really sushi, it doesn’t fit the salad realm. Poke, where it’s here to stay, may have never thought it would meet the mind of Seven Chan to then become Poke Burri.

The infamous sushi burrito, pizza, donuts, corndogs, and many other secret menu items have placed Poke Burri and Seven’s creativity at the top of the poke playlist throughout Atlanta. Their claim to fame is that their ingredients are fresh — and there’s no mistaking it. Armed with a massive social following (over 18K Followers on Instagram) and so sign of slowing, these guys continue to bring new energy to the dining category.

Chef Anne Quatrano - Bacchanalia

Atlanta is a city lucky to find itself in a dining renaissance. So many new restaurants, waves of dining interest, inspiration, and newly found energy. All backed by chefs and groups who have shaped what it means to be an eater here.

This week, it’s an honor to bring you one of those chefs. None other than Chef Anne Quatrano. Annie, to her friends. The chef and creative force behind Bacchanalia, Star Provisions, Floataway Cafe, WH Stiles Fishcamp, and soon-to-open Pancake Social at Ponce City Market.

Her life started in New England, shifted to the west coast, then back east and settling in Georgia (Their family farm is in Cartersville) where she worked tirelessly to push agriculture-forward dining to the top of the list.

We caught up at Bacchanalia over on the west side over coffee.

Sarah O'Brien - Little Tart Bakeshop

When it comes to a perfectly executed croissant, the amount of hard work, painstakingly calculated timing, and knowledge that goes into this single pastry is hastily tossed out due to one thing — that buttery, crusty texture makes problems melt away. Sarah O’Brien of Little Tart Bakeshop does this for Atlantans, those visiting, and everyone who crosses the threshold of any of their now many locations.

This business has the hearts of so many and they have continued to expand throughout the years — especially with the addition of their recently-opened Summerhill location.

Sarah’s work throughout Atlanta’s dining scene and with several non-profit organizations is remarkable. We caught up at the Summerhill location of Little Tart the week before they opened so I could hear her story.

NOTE: This place was under construction still so you’ll hear lots of rich background noise, friends. There’s always something happening in the life of a restaurateur or small business owner.
