Good Eats has finally opened, and after a whole lotta hoopla I was raring to get over there and try what had caused so much excitement for over two years in developments.

That's what I thought too. “Our Good Eats Kitchen is going to be a celebration of good food,” stated Michael Ashker, co-founder and CEO of Good Eats.

Good Eats — a cafe, wine bar and market by Raley's heir Michael Teel and partners — held its soft opening Monday.
