Atlanta star chef Ford Fry is planning a new Tex-Mex-inspired restaurant in Piedmont Heights called Little Rey, with a menu based around dishes like tacos and chicken al carbon platters. When Little Rey opens in early 2019, the restaurant will serve up catering-ready pick-up offerings. A full-service Little Rey catering program will start up later in the year.

Colorful, healthful Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food is on the catering menu at local eatery Yalla. Order dishes like chicken shawarma ($10 per person) and lamb kebab ($11 per person). Custom menus for events can include items like za'atar pita and labne for $4 per person or grilled halloumi with parsley, pickled red onion, and capers for $5 per person. After opening a second, larger location at the Canteen in 2017, Yalla now has access to a much larger kitchen, which allows for a better set-up for events.

Atlanta dry goods company Beautiful Briny Sea is known for its small-batch sea salts, but in 2018 the company embraced everything sweet by rolling out jars of $20 Magic Unicorn Sprinkles. The 24-ounce container comes with its own wooden scoop and is filled with rainbow jimmies, jewel jimmies, pastel sequin wafers, vanilla sugar pearls, and diamond crystal sugar for dusting on cookies, cakes, cocktails, and more.
