Press Release Summary: Utopia announces the reopening of the Cajun Kitchen, serving
New Orleans style Cajun and Creole Food

Press Release Body: (Panorama Press) September 18, 2008- Utopia Lounge announced the
reopening of the world famous Cajun Kitchen on Marietta Street in Midtown Atlanta,
Georgia. The Utopia Lounge is located the vibrant new area of Atlanta known as
Midtown West. The Cajun Kitchen was originally opened in 1987 as part of old Somber
Reptile music hall that closed in 2004. The kitchen got its fame by serving
authentic New Orleans style Cajun and Creole cuisine to over 5000 bands local and
touring bands spanning over 3 decades. The Cajun Kitchen got international
recognition by being a favorite eating destination of many international athletes,
during the 1996 Olympic Games, who preferred to cross the street from the Olympic
Village to get their nourishment. The restaurant was a favorite of Georgia Tech
students, Coca Cola executives, Marta drivers, artists, Atlanta Journal and
Constitution employees and downtown workers alike.
Eliot Mackle, legendary Atlanta food writer wrote “By day, in any case, Cajun
Kitchen draws informally dressed Techie profs, suits from the nearby Coca-Cola
imperial chancellery, artists from the district's gentrified lofts and studios,
uniformed cops, fire fighters and thick-armed, tattooed dudes in jeans and
coveralls”

Utopia is famous for its alluring decor and International artistry fused with
world class music. Utopia is a hip, trendy lounge was the “mile-long” bar with
funky bar stools and a shiny metallic bar top with the contrasting copper-colored.

grouped on one edge, tables in the middle, and cozy booths lining the sides.
There’s a working fireplace, low tables and chairs, and more couches in a private
event room called Shangri La. Adjacent to Utopia is Ice, an upscale venue for
private functions with a covered waterpool in the middle and elevated VIP
sections. There is a bar on one side and couches on the otherside a swing hanging
from the ceiling.
