Just received this press release from “The Bishop“, a new restaurant and bar opening in downtown Avondale Estates this Spring…

The Bishop, a charming Avondale Estates restaurant and bar set to debut this April, introduces its food and beverage offerings. The first venture of owner-operator and longtime Avondale Estates resident Luellen Marshall, The Bishop showcases a collection of family recipes inspired by American classics and comfort food.

“Our menus reflect The Bishop’s place as a true neighborhood mainstay and community gathering spot,” said Marshall. “Diners can expect to enjoy an abundant array of our family’s favorite dishes, seasonal cocktails and even wines on tap.”

A welcome addition to this historic town located just outside of Decatur, Ga., The Bishop’s menu embodies Marshall’s neighborhood-centric philosophy showcasing all-natural, locally sourced ingredients. The menu begins with crowd-pleasing starters such as Bishop’s house chips made with red bliss potatoes fried to a golden brown and served with parmesan and garlic aioli; grilled artichokes with burnt lemon and roasted garlic ailoli; and a Southern picnic board complete with pimento cheese, cream cheese and pepper jelly, fresh vegetables, buttered club crackers and country ham.
