2010-08-28 Revised star rating system Food and More with John Kessler

A four-star restaurant is best in class, whether it serves Southern farm-to-table cuisine, sushi, Italian or chef-driven creative fare. The service must be both correct and friendly, and the setting should be warm, exciting, plush whatever it takes to make you happy to be there. The restaurant should have a beverage program that befits its excellent food, and every effort should be made to provide the glassware and table settings that add to the overall experience. There has to be a spark surprise, magic, an outrageously delicious mouthful of food to make the meal live in your memory.

"Patrons can expect standard menu items with a twist, such as skirt steak fundido, periwinkle clam chowder or our tavern burger with bacon jam. "

2010-08-15 Indias spice girls Deccan Chronicle

What connects all these women is their creativity with Indian spices and cuisines. Whether they are cooking food or writing about it, the creative process gets reinforced at every step and something new is born. And in keeping with the demanding tastes of customers who have been exposed to different cuisines, blending flavours and spices to make a tasty yet unique dish is often a big task. Even Aadores brownies dont escape the touch of Indian spices. She says, I am all for fusion. I add Indian spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to some of the recipes. Like the Cappuccino Whiff (a blend of white chocolate and coffee with a dash of cinnamon) or the Spicy Ginger (brownie topped off with ginger cookie crumble and sweet marmalade ginger preserve).

2010-07-26 Low economy bites fine dining

That service - and its food - have earned the westside restaurant either the city and rsquo;s top rating or a tie for more than a dozen years from the esteemed Zagat Survey dining guide. And while Bacchanalia and some of its Atlanta fine-dining peers - Nikolai and rsquo;s Roof, Park 75, Craft and Aria - still thrive, others have been disappearing.

After the recent closings of some of Atlanta and rsquo;s top restaurants, the AJC set out to see what impact the economy was having on the city and rsquo;s fine-dining scene. Reporter Michael Kanell, with an assist from AJC food writer John Kessler, spoke to chefs and owners at high-end eateries, including some that had closed, as well as some nationally known restaurant experts.
