MAKIN' IT FRESH
Peachtree Battle maki fresh john cassimus birmingham zoe's kitchen restaurant
The former head of Zoe's Kitchen, John Cassimus, is ready to go fishing in Atlanta's restaurant waters. John, the man who took a single family-owned Zoe's and turned it into a chain (before selling his interest to a private equity fund), will be opening Atlanta's first Maki Fresh at Peachtree Battle. (We drove by and took a pic of one of the famous shopping center.) Based in Birmingham—with only one restaurant there—Maki Fresh is a casual Japanese and sushirestaurant that serves rice balls, sushi rolls, and raw and cooked fish. A source familiar with Maki Fresh's expansion says the restaurant should open by May.
