Necessary Purveyor, the restaurant at the bottom of the new Scout Living building at Ponce City Market, is difficult to characterize.
It’s a market, sandwich shop and full-service restaurant all rolled into one, with a mostly American menu that has European tinges. It also has weekend brunch and a dash of celebrity thanks to its coffee supplier, NBA star Jimmy Butler’s Bigface brand.
Once you find out that Necessary Purveyor’s original restaurant is in Miami, it begins to make more sense.

Once you find out that Necessary Purveyor’s original restaurant is in Miami, it begins to make more sense.
The restaurant follows a recipe common in Miami. Its interior of white tile and warm metals makes for a nice backdrop on social media. The menu has just enough global flair to feel sophisticated, along with a balance of healthy options and indulgences. And it’s meant to be a hangout spot where you can see and be seen.
Some might roll their eyes and label Necessary Purveyor as just more Instagram bait, but there is some substance beneath the glossy surface. According to founder Tyler Debastani, the restaurant makes nearly everything in-house from scratch, using local ingredients — the main exception being different types of bread used for sandwiches.
Those sandwiches are available all day and also show up on the brunch and dinner menus. A mortadella sandwich might seem out of place among the more upscale dinner options, but the "mile-high" version served in the evening was enough of a spectacle that it worked. The soft brioche bun and drizzle of maple syrup over the tower of tender, savory mortadella took the indulgence factor a notch higher.

August was a good month for the metro Atlanta dining scene, which saw the opening of nearly 20 restaurants compared to just a handful of notable closures.
Some openings marked the return of previously shuttered restaurants, like Krog Bar and Yay Beignet, while others represented local expansions, like Northern China Eatery and Big Softie. While perhaps coincidental, three of the four restaurants that shut down in August specialized in breakfast food.
