There is a restaurant on Marietta Square that stands out thanks to a rather poetic name from an old nursery rhyme. The Butcher the Baker’s name also is notable for the lack of the ampersand or plus sign that has become an Atlanta restaurant cliche.
That’s a hint that the folks behind the restaurant have a bit of creativity; they know how to tweak a recipe so that it’s familiar, yet still original.
Such a dish is their muffuletta, which actually may be the perfect sandwich collaboration for a butcher and a baker. This version includes tasso, salami and city ham on soft, fresh focaccia.
