Wowza. We have yet more restaurant openings this week.

The biggie? Miller Union from chef  Steven Satterfield (former Watershed chef de cuisine) and Neal McCarthy (former Sotto Sotto general manager) on the West side at 999 Brady Avenue. If the various pictures of piggies being cut up on Satterfield’s Facebook page are any indication, it looks like we can expect some serious oinkage on the menu. Call 678-733-8550 for reservations.

Elsewhere:

• Por Fin, serving “creative coastal Mexican” fare has opened in Johns Creek. The menu offers both tacos (of course: tacos, tacos everywhere) and more upscale fare like Yucatan-style fish wrapped in corn husks. You can find more information on the restauarant’s  Web site.
• The Decatur Metro blog has great scoop on the restaurant that wants to go into the old Voila space in Decatur. Called Farm Burger, it promises locally raised Georgia beef outfitted with house-cured bacon, farm eggs, bone marrow and other goodies. That is, if the owners can get their parking variance request passed. Read all about it here.

And in other news, chef Kevin Rathbun (shown here before he lost all kinds of weight by working out with a personal trainer) has been selected as one of five finalists to be Chef’s Magazine’s Chef of the Year. The five chefs were chosen for their “distinguished leadership in and out of the kitchen and advancement of the culinary arts, beverage and foodservice community,” according to the letter that Rathbun received. The other include chefs at a private club in Chicago, resorts in Mighigan and Hawaii, and a McCormick & Schmick’s in California. The winner will receive a $500 check for the charity of his choosing and a profile in the culinary trade mag.
