Biscuit Lovers Rejoice! The Flying Biscuit, Sandy Springs Has Landed and is Opening Soon

Local franchisee Barbara Juhan will be opening her first Flying Biscuit cafe at the corner of Roswell Rd. and Hammond Dr. in Sandy Springs in the coming days. Originally set to open the first week in March it may not open to the public till mid month as there have been delays by the developer and contractor in getting the parking lot finished, something that must be done prior to opening. Juhan is recreating the iconic "Sunflower Room" from the original Candler Park location with a new, updated look. As everyone who reads this blog on a regular basis knows, I'm not a fan of Raving Brands, I repeat, NOT A FAN OF RAVING BRANDS! but, Ms. Juhan seems intent on being involved in the neighborhood and has been a fan of the Biscuit since long before the Raving idiots took over the business.

Urban Flats;From a Frenzy to a Flop In 60 Days?

Urban Flats, an Orlando based franchise, who's local franchisee Bob Rogers opened a second location at Lindbergh City Center has already replaced his general manager. With an interesting concept and a great space, its a wonder this place does not do better until you step foot inside. Weeks ago it seemed to be doing well, with many diners inside; that has changed of late. It seems the restaurant has an identity crisis of sorts. Utilizing OpenTable, a system usually found in many mid to high-end sit down restaurants, with a very large space and reasonable menu, the concept seems to be a confused hybrid of restaurant, bar and on certain days, club. Judging from the dining room on a recent weeknight visit, this confusion seems to have led to the most unwanted outcome, emptiness and loss of customers. Repeat Atlanta!

Panchero's Will Stetch Your Dollar With Opening Promo

Panchero's Mexican Grill, a new entrant to the downtown dining scene hopes to entice you with opening promotion. The event will take place next Thursday, March 5th and will allow you to purchase a burrito for only a buck between 2 and 7PM. Unlike other Mexican grills like Moe's , Chipotle, Willy's etc. , Panchero's separates themselves with a burrito pressed in front of you and finishes it off mixing your ingredients with "Bob" so every bite is just as flavorful as the last. I can't tell you how cool/tasty these both are, you've got to see it / taste it to believe it! Panchero's is located beneath the TWELVE hotel and down the road from the recently opened downtown W hotel on West Peachtree. Repeat Atlanta!

Concentrics Concept Checking Into The Glenn?

It seems Glenn Hotel owner David Marvin's story of buying out the Maxim Prime lease to enlarge the meeting and banquet space of the hotel was just that, a story. Word is, Bob Amick's Concentrics Hospitality will open a new eatery in the Glenn later this year. "30 Tables" as its known already has an OpenTable page listing 404-469-0700 as its phone number and 110 Marietta St. as its address, both previously associated with Maxim Prime. The Executive Chef is said to be Daniel Chance, currently at LUMA on PARK in Winter Park, FL, another Concentrics concept. Repeat Atlanta!

***(2/28) Update: "3o Tables" IS the name of the restaurant, it IS a Concentrics concept, and they ARE open for business. The official opening will occur in April as there are still adjustments that need to be made in the conversion from Maxim Prime.
