Carmen Cappello coming to Grant Park
August 24th, 2008 by Cliff Bostock in RestaurantsI reported Aug. 1 that the Lamplighter Cafe in Grant Park seemed to be closing.
I now learn from Atlanta Cuisine that Carmen Cappello, the talented chef who left Mix for Sweet Lowdown, which also closed, is now taking over the space. He hopes to be open in early September.
I assume Cappello will be preparing his usual kinky fusion, although I’m told he’ll be featuring — all together now — a farm-to-table menu. Is anyone not doing farm-to-table cooking these days?

Farm-to-table is the new tapas!

Uh huh…And, like tapas, “farm-to-table” has an increasingly vague meaning.

and let’s see how quickly he does his disappearing act like Sweet Dumbdown.
