The first battle wine will be April 22 when Crepe Revolution unveils Battle Spring Whites.  Battle Wine will be limited to 15 participants by reservation only.  Expected cost is $15-$20 bucks.

L’Thai To Open Second Location in Smyrna

Thursday afternoon L’Thai owner Pithya Kongthavorn finalized a deal that will bring his popular organic-inspired Thai concept to Smyrna. This will be L’Thai’s second location, the first is in Tucker.

“We’re going to call it L’Thai West,” says Kongthavorn.

L’Thai West will take over Yukaru Sushi & Steak (4500 West Village Place, Smyrna) in Smyrna’s West Village — a live, eat, play complex on Atlanta Road at I-285. An area called “Smynings” by those who live and work there because of its close proximity to Vinings.

At this outpost I’m told you can expect a wine bar, plenty of craft beer — possibly even draught beer, and liquor.

“We plan to take the beverage program to a whole new level,” claims Kongthavorn.

This location should bode well for L’Thai as Smyrna is an up and coming neighborhood with easy access from Buckhead, Midtown and downtown.

Creating a Crepe Revolution

Crepe Revolution sets out to create genuinely remarkable experiences for its patrons by creating an interactive dining experience. The restaurant is located at the West Village community in Smyrna, Georgia just minutes from Midtown on S. Atlanta Road and I-285.

Having recently purchased a condo at The Flats at West Village and thus being within walking distance to Crepe Revolution I have dined there on a few occasions. The staff puts on a great show and the food is terrific. Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with the two founders to learn a little more about this hip restaurant.

Co-owners Neel Sengupta and Chef Robert Morneweck stumbled upon the idea of crepes. It was 2005 and Neel and Rob both worked in executive management positions within the restaurant industry and were both exploring ownership opportunities. Rob was interested in starting a personal chef service and Neel was interested in a chef training business for events. It was then that Neel made a trip up to his native home of Toronto and while at an 11,000 square foot marketplace full of individual kiosks he stumbled upon crepes.

He recalls people waiting, five people deep, in front of this particular kiosk…not sure what was being sold, but caught up in the excitement he waited his turn to make it to the front. Having seen what looked delicious, When Neel was asked what to order he said he’d have whatever the guy before him had ordered. What he received was a giant Banana’s Foster crepe on a fourteen inch plate that he then brought back and shared with the rest of his family. Crepes were discovered.

Aware that Rob too had been pursuing interests in restaurant ownership Neel approached Rob with the concept of crepes. Why crepes? Why not. They have been tested and proven in every other major metropolitan marketplace. Along with their families, the two have visited more than a dozen cities around the U.S., Canada, and even Paris to learn as much as they could about crepes. This coupled with a lot of dedication is what has enabled Crepe Revolution to become Atlanta’s only crepe themed restaurant.

As the name hints, Neel and Rob are reintroducing crepes with a noticeable twist – which they call the REVOLUTION. Crepes provide versatility. For proof, try their 5 Step Crepe Experience. Choose from almost two dozen vegetables, a dozen meats and seafood ingredients, seven cheeses and more than twenty sauces, spices and seasonings to create bold crepe creations.

Neel and Rob are thrilled to be a part of the vibrant and flourishing Smyrna Vinings community and invite you to join them for lunch and dinner as well as brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. They are quick to point out that their restaurant and the concept is not at all positioned as French. In fact, due to the versatility of crepes, it is possible to visit for a variety of different tastes. Visit for American, Mexican, Asian, Regional American, Latin Inspired, Cajun, and even Italian…visit for whatever you’re in the mood for! That’s the versatility of crepes.

The decor is modern, urban contemporary with warm earth tones and world music. A full bar featuring select wines in combination with dimmed lights for the dinner crowd makes for an intimate dining experience great for a date. Crepe Revolution is also available for parties and special events.

My picks: Chipotle Pork Crepe, Smoked Salmon (with egg) Crepe, and Banana’s Foster.

Blue Moon Pizza in the AJC

The moon is always full at this pizza place, recently arrived at the West Village complex in Smyrna. Blue Moon Pizza, the creation of owners Mandy and Kelvin Slater, is the second location for the casual concept; the first has had them kneading dough for four years near the corner of Windy Hill Road and Cobb Parkway.

Why West Village? The captive audience, as it were, was a major attraction, said Mandy Slater. “There will
be about 1,100 homes near the restaurant, and people will be able to walk to and from dinner. And at Windy Hill, we had to redesign the space to fit what we wanted; this gave us a chance to create our own space from scratch.”

Pies galore
“From scratch” applies to the menu as well. Blue Moon’s signature crusts are thin and crispy and made in-house each day. The dough is smothered with homemade sauce and traditional toppings in heaping portions. Hungry? Dig into a bacon cheeseburger pie with ground beef, onions, mushrooms, bacon and cheese. Really hungry? Opt for
the Meateor, piled with pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham and bacon. Lighten up with Sante Fe or Thai chicken pies. Go Sicilian with a square of Grandma’s, a thicker dough with hand-crushed tomato sauce, sliced garlic, basil and olive oil. Servings range from a single slice to 10-, 16- and 18-inch pies.

Beyond pizza
Start off with wings, bruschetta, fried mozzarella sticks, beefsteak tomatoes with mozzarella or cheese fries. There are six salads, from buffalo chicken to classic Caesar. Other options include calzones, strombolis, meatball subs and sandwiches. Try the flatwich, a Blue Moon creation of warm pizza dough wrapped around traditional sandwich fillings.

Blue Moon cooks also whip up desserts, so save room for just-made cheesecake, Key lime pie, chocolate peanut butter brownies or chocolate chip cookies. Enjoy themwith a cappuccino or espresso on the spacious patio.

From the bar
The full bar is stocked with 22 bottled beers, as well as eight drafts, including the aptly named Blue Moon Belgian White. The specialty martini list stars the Blue Moontini — Absolut Citron, Hpnotiq liqueur and white cranberry juice — as well as the peach, chocolate, dirty and Key lime versions. Every Thursday, martinis are $6.

A few fun facts
Tuesday nights are devoted to trivia. Other nights, catch the latest sports or news action on five flat-screen TVs throughout the space.  Don’t want to leave home? Blue Moon delivers within a 3-mile radius.
