Virginia-Highland favorite 8ARM closed over the weekend, more than a month earlier than expected. The Ponce de Leon Avenue restaurant, created by the late Angus Brown, announced in June it would permanently close after its BeltLine-adjacent property was sold for redevelopment. Co-owner Skip Engelbrecht told the AJC that the original plan to have different chefs in the kitchen each week had become too confusing and they decided a low-key goodbye with Chef Maricela Vega was how they wanted to end the restaurant’s six-year run. Engelbrecht and co-owner Nhan Le recently opened Fishmonger in Poncey-Highland and will open a second location at the Pratt-Pullman District. The restaurateurs are also plan to open comfort food outposts Small Fry at Atlanta Dairies later this year.
