And now some late-breaking news from our Coals to Newcastle Department:
Golden Bird Chicken — a small chain of Southern California fried chicken restaurants — will open its first out-of-state location in South DeKalb, on Glenwood Road just inside the Perimeter. (4475 Glenwood Road, Decatur). If you click on the Web site, you’ll hear Nat King Cole singing “Unforgettable,” because that’s what you are, you delicious-looking drumstick.
Piola Peach — a link in the international Italian pizzeria chain, Piola, will open soon at 1080 Peachtree Street in Midtown. If the menu is anything like the one in Naples, Florida, expect thin-crust pizzas — some typical and others with all sorts of crazy toppings, such as smoked salmon and corn. There are Piolas everywhere from Chile to Turkey.
Misari Restaurant is opening at 3525 Mall Boulevard in Duluth. Does anyone know what this will be? Middle Eastern? Japanese? Kathy Bates with a large mallet?
