The owners of East Atlanta Village restaurant Banshee open sandwich shop and cocktail bar Bona Fide Deluxe Tuesday, February 14, bringing Edgewood and Candler Park an all-day hangout. And, yes, the bar stays open for cocktails, wine, and beer after the kitchen closes for the night.
Located on La France Street, steps from the Candler Park-Edgewood MARTA station, and next door to wine shop and tasting room VinATL, expect hefty deli-style sandwiches chock-full of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments, hearty salads, and bread bombs filled with garlic butter, cheddar cheese, bacon, and scallions.
The idea behind Bona Fide Deluxe was born from necessity during the first few months of the pandemic. Chef and partner Nolan Wynn launched a drive-thru service offering sandwiches and other comfort foods for takeout from Banshee to keep the restaurant afloat until the dining room could reopen again.
For Bona Fide Deluxe, Wynn took inspiration from the pandemic pop-up at Banshee, creating hot and cold sandwiches for the menu like the New York-style Cold Cut stuffed with pepperoni, finocchiona, mortadella, pepperonata, and provolone garnished with lettuce, tomato, and pepperoni mayonnaise. The vegan banh mi comes with sweet and sour shiitake mushrooms, julienned carrots and cucumbers, and jalapenos. The roast beef sandwich sees thinly shaved top round roast smoked and cooked medium rare and dressed with pickles, fried onions, steak sauce, and horseradish creme fraiche.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A project on Jacksonville’s Eastside is underway that will transform a warehouse with more than a century of history.
The Union Terminal Warehouse was built in 1913.
Columbia Ventures acquired the property in December 2018 and plans its adaptive reuse as a vibrant multi-family anchored mixed-use community.
Financing methods include utilizing historic tax credits and opportunity zone equity as key components of the capital stack.
The project site is at 700 East Union Street, and the work plans to help revitalize Jacksonville’s Eastside.
The site has been designed by Dasher Hurst Architects who says there will be market-rate apartments, restaurants, indoor parking, a rooftop terrace with great views of downtown and other retail spaces.
“It’s a nice area, quiet and everything — so I think it’d be good,” said Little John Cox who lives on the Eastside.
According to Columbia Ventures, when completed in 1913 — owner C.B. Gay declared it to be “the largest and finest warehouse in the state of Florida.”
