Chef Kevin Gillespie Explains Meaning of "Gunshow" Eatery Name

Homage to times with his dad.

GLENWOOD PARK — When celebrity Chef Kevin Gillespie announced his planned departure from Woodfire Grill last year to open an eatery here, residents were ecstatic. After all, Gillespie is a Top Chef alum and widely celebrated in the culinary arts world with multiple nominations  for the James Beard Foundation’s “Rising Star Chef of the Year” award and a nomination for Food & Wine's “The People’s Best New Chef." And he's a resident of neighboring Ormewood Park to boot.

Social Resto

French chef Jalil Chikhaoui whips up one of his favorite spring dishes

Social Resto in downtown Atlanta is one of those special, tucked-away spots where first-timers become regulars and regulars don't want you to give away their secret.  The casual-meets-elegant, French-meets-American spot is owned by brothers Jalil "Jay" and Rheda "Ray" Chikhaoui, who were born and raised in Lyon, France by Tunisian parents, and truly defines European hospitality at its best.   Jay, Social's chef and also a certified sommelier, welcomed us into his East Point home to prepare one of his favorite simple dishes perfect for a spring evening:  Chicken Milanese with Potato Gratin and a spinach salad with homemade dressing.  Try it for yourself and bon appetit! Chicken Milanese with Potato Gratin and Spinach Salad Serves: 2-4 Prep/…
