When I worked in Buckhead, many moons ago, I was excited when Eatzi's moved in, but quickly stopped going there as the customer service was so slow, and the price of a sandwich was insane.

And as luck would have it, I ate dinner last night in a place out in cobb county...I can't remember its name ("mutt and jeff's", or something like that), but it reminded me of what eatzi's could have done differently. Small deli, small wine bar, seating for 35ish (incl. the bar), frequently updated menu, and powerful draught selection. Eat in, carry out, have a drink, whatever. It was a much better layout.
