In the past year or so, I’ve noticed a lot of Miami in my Atlanta.
I reviewed three notable restaurants with Miami origins between October and April: Necessary Purveyor, Ghee Indian Kitchen and Füm. Another Miami-based hospitality group, the Restaurant People, opened a glitzy rooftop bar called the Jagger Suite at the Moxy Atlanta Downtown hotel in March. Rosetta, an Italian bakery chain from Miami, opened in Buckhead last year.
So why have we seen such a large influx of South Florida flavor? And is this influence good for the local restaurant scene?
