Eating Raw

As you all know, I've been learning how to make all kinds of rich French stuff in culinary school. So it was a nice change of pace to talk to Riccardo Ullio, who owns a handful of restaurants down here in Atlanta, about the new all-raw menu that he's implementing at his Latin-influenced spot, Beleza. Remember the episode of Sex and the City when Samantha meets Smith Jared for the first time and he's a waiter at that raw food restaurant? Well, Ullio is bringing that concept to Atlanta--except that his food sounds a whole lot more delicious than all the wheatgrass we saw in that episode. I'm pretty eager to try it...but Zack can't comprehend why someone would want to run a restaurant where nothing is cooked. In any event, here's my post about Beleza on Atlanta Magazine's blog.
