It’s finally official! I received this email from Ryan Turner of Muss & Turner’s regarding their restaurant-to-be, Local Three. Big news!
After 2.5 years of trying to find a home, it is with great excitement to announce that the opening of our new restaurant with Chef Chris Hall is near. Local Three will be located in the Piazza at Paces development on Northside Parkway in the former space of Joel Brasserie. We are embracing a unique opportunity to utilize one of the best kitchens in the country to introduce a new neighborhood gathering spot rooted in the same DNA and philosophy of Muss & Turner’s . We look forward to engaging the community with a come-as-you-are atmosphere and “foie gras in your flip flops” ambiance with the seasonal, high quality cuisine at affordable prices alongside value driven wines, craft beers and artisan spirits. Our partner Chef Chris Hall will man the helm at Local Three returning to the neighborhood where he was raised – around the corner on Peachtree Battle Avenue. Formerly Chef de Cuisine at Canoe and most recently helping Jay Swift open 4th & Swift two years ago, Chef Hall is thrilled to realize the dream of owning his own restaurant and even more about going back to his old stomping grounds to pour his heart and soul into executing his undeniable passion for food and making people happy.
Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive and inquisitive of this venture.
It is important that you know, the commitment and presence Muss and I have at M&T will remain strong. We have chosen a very particular path in how we grow as a company with purpose. It is critical that we maintain balance and not compromise everything we’ve worked so hard for the last 5.5 years in Smyrna.
I will be in touch with details of opening date etc.. Until then we have a restaurant to run and a mountain to climb.
To great food, drink & people,
Ryan

We know it will be a success like M & T. We’ve already booked our 25th wedding anniversary party in the private room at Local Three.
