FOOD NETWORK

* Grilling skills. Four-time world barbecue champion and pitmaster Myron
Mixon of Unadilla will be a guest judge
on the first episode of this season's
"Chopped Grill Masters," set to debut
Aug. 1 on Food Network. On the show,
competitors battle to impress judges in
three rounds as they create an appetizer, entrée and dessert using a mystery
basket of ingredients. Winners from the
four episodes earn spots in the finale
to vie for a grand prize of $50,000 and a
Napa Valley vacation. Grill master Jim
Stancil of Oxford will compete in the
fourth episode, set for Aug. 22.

fter several years of being nominated, Steven Satterfield won the
James Beard Foundation's coveted Best Chef of the Southeast Award
for 2017. An Italian seafood restaurant
in Atlanta, St. Cecilia, also was honored for restaurant design.
The executive chef and co-owner
of Miller Union in Atlanta didn't start
off intending to become a chef. The
Savannah native studied
architecture at Georgia
Tech in Atlanta and, after a few internships in
the field, "I figured out
that wasn't the right path
for me."
A career in music
ensued, but he also gravitated to the professional
kitchen and wound up
in Atlanta cooking with the 2003 Best
Chef of the Southeast, Anne Quatrano of Bacchanalia, Floataway Café,
W.H. Stiles Fish Camp and Star Provisions. After almost a year, he went
on a music tour, then started cooking
at Watershed in Decatur with Scott
Peacock, also a James Beard honoree
in 2007.
In 2009, Satterfield and Neal
McCarthy opened Miller Union.
Satterfield also is the author of a James
Beard-nominated book, "Root to Leaf:
A Southern Chef Cooks Through the
Seasons" (Harper, 2015), and has written a book, released in March, about
peanuts for Short Stack editions.
"When I started looking back, after opening Miller Union," he says, "I
realized it came full circle-math and
science, creativity. Food is the most
ephemeral, but you're still creating
with your hands. I hadn't signed up
to sit in front of a computer. Something was calling me to create with
my hands. You're involving your body
and your brain, but you're creating."

MOE'S

COMPILED BY JENNIFER J. HEWETT

Foundation Outstanding Restaurant
Design (76 Seats and Over) Award
was the New York firm Meyer Davis
for St. Cecilia. Originally the location
of Buckhead Life Restaurant Group's
BluePointe restaurant, the groundfloor space at the Pinnacle Building in Buckhead underwent a major
overhaul in its transformation to St.
Cecilia.
"We changed everything," says
Meyer Davis' Katie McPherson, one
of the design directors. The marbletopped bar is expanded greatly, with
stools for seating and small lamps
positioned evenly along its edge. The
bar area also features dining seating
with tables and banquettes.
The remodel incorporates natural, soothing colors and windows that
provide an expansive exterior view.
Wood floors, wood-topped tables
and the use of leather and brown linens support the neutral tones.

Cecilia, visit stceciliaatl.com.
