Two Stars for The Shed at Glenwood’s Reimagined Comfort Food

Atlanta Journal-Constitution food editor Ligaya Figueras reviews The Shed at Glenwood, awarding a "very good" rating of two out of four stars. Figueras is smitten with chef Justin Dixon’s updated take on traditional American comfort foods:

Many of the items at the Shed will take you back to your childhood, because comfort food abounds here. ... In many cases, those familiar dishes have been reimagined or updated, as in the presentation of a chicken pot pie topped with puff pastry rather than being enveloped in a crust. The essence of a Snickers bar is captured in profiteroles filled with caramel ice cream, drizzled with chocolate, nougat and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts. ... I’ll be back to eat up what Dixon has to say through food.
