Quick Bites

Chef Kevin Gillespie has opened Communion, a German beer gardeninspired backyard at his popular Revival restaurant in Decatur. A food truck will allow guests to sample executive chef Andreas Müller’s inspired takes on classic German beer garden snacks, including grilled rye with Kartoffelkäse, Bavarian-style pretzels with hot mustard and Obatzda, and grilled sausages with sauerkraut, mustard and beef fat-fried potatoes. The drink list offers a selection of European-style draft and bottled session beers, Old World-style wines, punches and batched cocktails. Upon arrival, guests purchase tokens – $5 each – from the Communion cashier and spend them on drinks and food truck purchases. Any unused tokens can be used on future visits. Most food truck snacks and drinks are one to three tokens, with server and bartender gratuities already factored into the price of each. Visitors can also play games like horseshoes and corn hole.

City Winery is the brainchild of Michael Dorf, founder of the iconic

Knitting Factory, one of New York’s longest running music venues. Dorf wanted to create a space where he could combine his shared passions for wine and music, thus opening the first City Winery concept in New York City in 2008. Since then he has opened locations in Chicago, Napa, Nashville, and now Atlanta.

Along with the fine dining, vino and music, there will also be food and wine classes and private events. The executive chef is Jeffrey McGar.
