A recent dining excursion took me to the ever bustling Miller Union, a Westside eatery that has become one of the “it places.” MU is a restaurant that showed up on the scene roughly two-months ago and is currently in the middle of a love fest not uncommon around these parts. Some heavy hitters love it and judging by the packed house we witnessed, so too do the lay folk.

Since my initial notations on Publik Social House and Bocado, I’ve made multiple return trips to both. Unfortunately, things weren’t as good on subsequent visits in either case. Keep reading for details on these two new Atlanta dining options.
The Holeman & Finch Hot Dog: One Great Meat Stick [Quick Hits] 4

Holeman & Finch is my favorite watering hole here in Atlanta, hands down and bar none. Though I think the food has slipped just a smidge since Adam Biderman bolted for the Big Easy, the drinks are as killer as always and the food is still quite good. After Biderman departed back in May, Jason Paolini was brought in to run the kitchen. For all practical purposes, he has made the transition seamless for the patrons. Yes, I did say the food has slipped a smidge, but I do mean that emphatically.
As expected, the menu has morphed ever so slightly since Paolini’s arrival, and the new additions have gone over quite well. As Tony continues to put his footprint on the restaurant, the food is gradually returning to normal.
Of the additions, the house made hot dog is far and away the gold medalist. Ladies and gents, I’ve had hot dogs upon hot dogs upon hot dogs in my lifetime – and this hot dog is breathtakingly awesome. Mind you, it’s a bit gourmet, as is everything at H&F. Of hot dogs of this ilk – it might be the best I EVER had. Now, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this ground round of beef town has hit my lips only once to date. It’s possible that this was an aberration, but I seriously doubt it. After all, I’m not the only one to dig this pup!
Bocado Freshly Minted Restaurant Review – Westside, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions] 1

After saying hello world last night, Bocado, which translates loosely to mouthful or morsel, opened for business earlier today on the Westside of Atlanta. As mentioned previously, B to the C to the ado is the brainchild of Brian Lewis, who comes to Atlanta via the southern comfort of Birmingham, AL. Designed by ai3 and staffed by a people I’ve previously seen working at some successful ATL restaurants, it seems there is a strong foundation in place.
Holeman And Finch Baked Goods Are At Savor Specialty Foods

Ah… last night was a good night. Amongst the many jewels of information that were passed around, I found out that a complete lineup of goods from Holeman & Finch Bakery are served up at nearby Savor Specialty Foods. Here’s the breakdown:
Approximately a month ago, H&F Bakery closed its doors to the public. However, the bakery still has a full array of goods available for wholesale. Savor, which sits in the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center just up the street from H&F, decided to get in on the action. Though I haven’t actually been to Savor since HnFB’s pseudo shutdown, I will say that I have always enjoyed their selection of gourmet goods and a good bit of the grub. Included in the selection at Savor are cookbooks, cookware, spices, mustards, and so forth. Meanwhile, they also have a food counter where they serve up things like cured meats, cheeses, fruit salads, chicken salads, and freshly made sandwiches. Last but not least, they also provide a catering service, though I’ve never tried it.
According to the gang at Holeman, most everything that could be had at the bakery is now up the street.
