s3mh Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hugs and Donuts completed a soft opening and will finally have their grand opening soon. It is impressive to look at the list of restaurants currently underway in the Heights:Southern GoodsHunky DoryForeign CorrespondentsBernadine'sKa SushiPho BinhOllie's Fried ChickenBlack and WhiteRevival Ice House/Taco StandCane Russo And if you stretch the boundaries a bit you can add the Indian place opening at the old Mozelle's location.

s3mh Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 http://www.heightsepicurean.com/ Another shot at a farmer's market in the Heights. Looks promising. Humble beginnings with just a handful of vendors, but could have potential if it catches on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Revival Market starts dinner service next week. They have already converted to a full service sit-down restaurant set up with the cash registers just being for take out. Booze permit is not ready yet.

Angostura Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ...given the neighborhood's "little Austin" nickname. Is this a real nickname people are using? I really hope not. Aside from Torchy's, are there other Austin imports in the Heights? (Washington Avenue doesn't count.) The Creeks are hill-country-inspired, I suppose.

Angostura Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Chirps Chicken is closing. Property is up for lease. Saw this last week. I wouldn't mind seeing the whole building come down and something more dense go up in its place, but given our parking requirements we probably don't deserve anything more interesting than a Chipotle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Shepherd is looking good!They need to plant some dam trees in Sheppard. These new developments are nice but it is the opposite of green and the opposite of lush. I am amazed they can spend so much money on these developments without a landscape plan! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't resist Googling Mellow Mushroom after reading the HBJ description of "an Atlanta-based hippy pizza chain". I envisioned a place where psilocybe cubensis had once been the most popular pizza topping (inevitably leading to an unofficial motto of "our pizza will make you puke, but you won't care"), and judging from the pics at http://mellowmushroom.com/about/roots, I wasn't too far off. Of course, like many other establishments, it appears to have evolved into just another hipster haven pushing craft beer, its original brand comfortably diluted and sanitized for consumption by those who wouldn't know the difference between a cow patty and Shinola. Oh, the humanity! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcat84 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Why the negativity? (Or maybe I'm misreading?)I like Mellow. There's one in BR and Lafayette where I'm currently stationed and I have always enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Not so much negativity as amusement. I'm sure I'll give them a try once they're open. And I'll be thinking of Duane Allman when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I used to go to Mellow Mushroom after little league games in the 1970s. The hippie thing was just a marketing gimmick to get people to try some different and odd concoctions on pizzas back when there were very few options for really good pizza. It will be nice to have something other than Pinks for pizza night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've picked up a lot of pizzas from Pink's since they opened, but at this point I've gotten pretty burned out on them. Chicago Italian Beef & Pizza on Airline is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 No surprise that the el is getting reshuffled again. We ate there. Once. Mediocre food (at best), served not necessarily hot, or even warm, at a pace that would have been OK had the place been jammed (as in, "who do I have to take hostage to get my order?" slow). It wasn't busy - not by any standard - and certainly wasn't "Superior." I'm usually willing to give a new place a second chance, but the Director of Domestic Bliss was even less impressed than I was (or perhaps more so, since the fish tacos seemed to be a bit "off").

bedmondson Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 This is a big deal for beer nerd types. Not sure where all the money is coming from but to be able to pull in a brewer that is currently working with production similar to Saint Arnold is impressive. I would hope that means they are going all out and from the sounds of the press release they are. Along with the multi-million renovation of Fitzgeralds nextdoor it seems this intersection is getting its revitalization revitalized. haha.
