More Than a Mouthful:
Bocado Opens
887 Howell Mill Rd; West Midtown
Meaning "morsel" in Spanish and scheduled to open Thurs, Bocado's a lunch/dinner den with raw concrete flooring, unfinished wood tables and banquettes, and an enclosed back patio. Chef Todd Ginsberg (formerly of The Dining Room at the Ritz; Asher; TAP, TROIS) plates local farm-to-table fare including starters like wild American shrimp w/ north GA's Logan Turnpike grits & white wine Tabasco sauce, plus entrees including Gulf Oyster Stew and the braised beans-/green olives-/almond-sided Bricked Chicken, which you'll soon learn Jamal Crawford doesn't love every night, but when he loves it, he loves it.
Get there at 6pm this evening for free food samples during the neighborhood open house; become immediately familiar at BocadoAtlanta.com
