A New Spot From Bocado Folks And Another Community Q?

2) Buckhead: There's been a lot of mumbling that Bocado is looking to open a second location. We confirmed with owner Brian Lewis that he is looking to open a second restaurant in Buckhead, but the concept will be completely different than Bocado's. No word on whether chef Todd Ginsberg will be involved. [PRE-PLYWOOD]
