Today, more and more restaurants are adopting a small plates concept. And actually, I like that. First because, you get to try more dishes, so you experience more tastes and flavors. But also, because, most of the time, small plates means sharing with the people around the table. Isn’t that a great way to enjoy an evening out with your dining partners?


MEZZE restaurant
, located in the former space of Sona, is one good example — in case you don’t know, “mezze” means “sharing” in Arabic. Watch my exclusive video interview with chef Micah Wexler, a Los Angeles native who has trained and cooked at Melisse, Patina, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas, Craft in Los Angeles, and even in Spain and Italy.

The dining room of Saskatoon restaurant in Atlanta
by Becky Sauer

 

Wild game is the name of the game at just-opened Saskatoon in Atlanta, a mere 2,000 miles away from its Canadian namesake. The fine dining menu features elk, bear and pheasant as well as unusually presented steaks, seafood and poultry dishes. The rustic theme is also present in the hunting lodge-like design, including stone walls, mounted trophies, and an antler chandelier.
