| Hugh Acheson of Five & Ten and The National in nearby Athens has opened Empire State South in Midtown Atlanta. This complex operation is part coffee bar, breakfast restaurant, to-go spot, and full-fledged dining room. Breakfast begins with such morsels as Georgia-produced yogurt, locally produced eggs with grits (stone ground, of course), and biscuits. At lunch, savor a meatloaf sandwich or smothered pork chop napped in tomato. For dinner, try the "In Jars" offering of five small items from the "Snackies for the Table" section. Indeed, the portion is plenty for two as a warm-up. We suggest the chicken liver pâté and the boiled peanut hummus. North Carolina triggerfish does beautifully with its Meyer lemon marmalade, paired with lentils, hakurei turnips and apples. For dessert: pecan pie. Period. This wine list is flush with French wines with great values in many areas, including grower Champagne. Some Italian, Spanish, South American and U.S. wines are offered, and there's a section of Riesling from a variety of producing regions. |
