home.made No Longer Dine-in at Lunch, Streets Serving on Boulevard
After a few short weeks doing its new eat-in lunch program, home.made catering is having to scale back and go to pick-up and delivery only (through Bulldawg Food).
It's not that Mimi Maumus's food wasn't successful. Instead, it may have been too much so. Her neighbors weren't happy with the influx of vehicles seeking to park during the lunch hour, despite the fact that Baxter Street is in many ways a ghost town and could really use a boost. You'll just have to lay out your own tablecloth and bud vase and pretend.

Independent Baking Co. Is Open, White Tiger Ends Brunch Buffet and More
White Tiger is changing up its brunch a little, switching this weekend from a buffet to an a la carte service. The hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays, with lots of vegetarian and vegan options, plus BBQ Benedict (biscuit, bbq pork, sausage gravy, over-easy egg). The full menu is available after noon those days.
Thom Leonard's Independent Baking Co. opened for business for real at 7 a.m. today. They've got bread, pastries, muffins (supposedly) and 1000 Faces Coffee.

Independent Baking Co. Is (Sort of) Open
So, Thom Leonard's Independent Baking Co. (now with Facebook!) is still not really open, but that doesn't mean you can't get a baguette.

Catch 22 Gastropub to Open on Epps Bridge
Of all the things most likely to open in the former Choo Choo space on Epps Bridge, a gastropub was probably not on your mental list, but Catch 22 is set to do exactly that in the near future.

Downtown Subway is Moving, home.made Lunch and More
If you just love the heck out of Subway but find its location on West Broad Street in the Gameday condos too far to walk, you'll be pleased to know it's moving into the space vacated by fro-yo hotspot Yoguri at the corner of Clayton and College sometime in September.

Hendershot's Starts Real Food, Groucho's is Open
One of the things that made the move of Hendershot's a net positive was the coffee shop/bar's acquisition of a real kitchen. A food menu was in place before, but it was limited. Now Ivey Hughes can stretch out and expand. That new menu starts today, with lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Normaltown Cafe Reopens in Danielsville, Hugh Acheson Hooks Up with Live Nation
Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood
Once upon a time, before Normaltown had cute hipster printing shops and doughnuts and there wasn't a big hole in the air where Allen's once was, there was a modest restaurant there called Normaltown Cafe. Then it operated on Tallassee for a while, in the space that's now Sr. Sol. Old Athens folks will appreciate that it is reopening, although this time in Danielsville, at 200 General Daniels Rd., near the Hardee's.
