Two Stars for Chick-a-Biddy; First Look at Slice & Pint

In the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week, Atlantic Station restaurant Chick-a-Biddy gets two stars. Behind the paywall, reviewer Jenny Turknett recommends the chicken burger and the fish tacos with jalapeno broccoli slaw. About the restaurant, she says:

[Chick-a-Biddy] serves the Atlantic Station crowd, folks out for a little fun and entertainment. Here, owners Doty and Lance Gummere take a more modern and forward-thinking approach [than that of sister restaurant Bantam + Biddy]. What they've created seems to resonate with this audience, but like Bantam + Biddy, may require additional settle-in time to evolve into a true destination.

Creative Loafing's Brad Kaplan takes a first look at Emory Village pizzeria Slice & Pint. The restaurant hopes to have its next-door brewery open by early 2014; until then find local brews plus pizza, "guilt-inducing" appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. The piece ends: "Pizza and beer is a winning combination. Slice & Pint's pizza may not be destination-worthy, but the use of fresh, quirky flavors and quality ingredients make it worthy of a detour."
