Behind Porter Beer Bar is a young couple with a culinary résumé that most people in the restaurant business don’t acquire until they are much older; some never at all. Chef Nick Rutherford and Molly Gunn once worked for Seeger’s, mega chef Guenter Seeger’s five-star wonder in Buckhead, for example.

But there are also “signature” hush puppies fried with applewood-smoked bacon and served with a tangy apple sauce.
