Food roundup below:
If you're in that in-between zone of wanting to prepare your own food but not exactly wanting to shop for it yourself or make too many decisions, PeachDish is a new ingredient-delivery service based out of Atlanta that also reaches the Athens area. Pre-portioned ingredients for two meals that consist of two courses plus a "treat" ship out on Tuesday and arrive Wednesday (in the Atlanta metro area) or Thursday (anywhere else in the country), complete with recipe cards. Visit the website for pricing, menus, details and more.
More after the jump.

Trappeze Buys Capital Room, Reopens It as South Kitchen + Bar
For a couple of days, all we knew was a name: South Kitchen + Bar. That was who had taken over the Capital Room in the Georgian on Washington Street downtown. Now it seems fairly clear that the folks behind Trappeze are the ones responsible, and Chris Benson, who's been capably running the kitchen at Trappeze, is doing the same at the new place as of yesterday (Saturday).

Rashe's Cuisine Sets Opening Date; Automatic Pizza Is Hiring
Rashe's Cuisine (first covered here), the Jamaican restaurant set to take over the Tallassee Road space still best known as Caliente Cab and most recently home to Kabana, has an actual opening day set: Friday, June 13. Let's hope the ominous date doesn't bode poorly.
Owner Rashe Malcolm has been setting up at the West Broad Farmers Market on Tuesday evenings to retail her food and build an audience, and her business's Facebook page is here.

Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe
Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe starts doing bidness in the Bottleworks officially today (June 3), after a couple of days of "family and friends" previews.
Also, the Oglethorpe Avenue Transmetropolitan, which has no web presence, reopened over the weekend.
If you enjoyed this winter's Noodle Bowl, brought to you by the aptly named People Who Like to Eat, Rachel Bailey says you should mark your calendars for the upcoming ice cream social from the same group, scheduled for noon to 2:30 p.m. June 14, on the porch of Five & Ten. That restaurant will be participating, as well as The Savory Spoon, Viva! Argentine (which says it's contributing ice cream sandwiches), Coterie & Tie supper club and Cinco y Diez.

Alton Brown Coming to Town, Transmet Reopening and More
Have you always wanted to see Alton Brown in person but would rather pay for the privilege than stalk him at the suburban Atlanta grocery store he frequents (ot at least did when "Good Eats" was on the air)? Well, you'll get your opportunity Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Classic Center Theatre, for a cost of $38–$105. "Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour" will have participation opportunities, comedy, music and more. Standard tickets are $38–$58 (plus fees). Fancy shmancy tickets that include a meet-and-greet, an autographed photo and special seating are $105. Both kinds go on sale Friday.

Preserve Coming to Broad Street Coffee Location
In between frozen-custard stand and vegan restaurant, the space at the West Broad Street-Hancock Avenue intersection was a barbecue joint.
The nice little building still probably best known to long-time Athenians as The Arctic Girl and most recently housing Broad Street Coffee is finally getting another tenant and one doing something more ambitious than hot dogs. The new place, called Preserve, aims to open in June and is headed up by Ella Sternberg and Lenny Miller, of local band Cancers. Reached for comment, Miller said:
