Omnivore Atlanta

The Food Studio served its last meal Saturday night and Broderick Smylie was there with his camera. Check out all of his photos of the event here. (Also, check out Broderick’s regular site and blog, replete with Erin Ivey singing “Chocolate,” here.)

I’m sorry to see the Food Studio close. When it opened in 1996, it was a radical departure from the usual in Atlanta. Located in the King Plow Center, its decor and menu echoed the arty function of most tenants there.

Two months after Jeff Smedstad, the chef who turned Sala-Sabor de Mexico into one of the best modern Mexican restaurants in the city, left to return to Arizona, the restaurant has been sold. Fifth Group, the company that also owns Ecco, La Tavola, the Food Studio, and South City Kitchen, has sold Sala to the folks who own Vine, Twelve Grapes LLC.

Fifth Group also recently announced that the Food Studio, located in the Westside’s King Plow Arts Center, will undergo a face-lift and menu revamping.
