• Ian Winslade joins Murphy’s as the new Executive Chef

Chef Ian Winslade has joined Murphy’s as the new Executive Chef. Chef Winslade shared via his Facebook page that he is excited for the new gig, where he’s working on some new items and refining old favorites. Prior to joining Murphy’s, Winslade has hopped around Atlanta and around the world. His local engagements include work at TomTom, Prime Steakhouse, Bluepointe, both Jean-Georges concepts, and Buckhead Bottle Bar. I think it’s safe to say he’s got some know-how.

No. 246, the new Decatur project for Ford Fry and Drew Belline, has announced a new opening date of July 11. The restaurant was originally slated to open back in May. Their website is up and, interestingly, is hosted on tumblr.

Farm Burger blogged an update on their Buckhead location, which is tied up in permitting. They also gave us a sneak peak at at the new Buckhead-ified logo. Another exciting tidbit about the new location: there will be milkshakes!

Morelli’s Edgewood location has set a new opening date for this Saturday, June 18, with free ice cream for the first two hours (they open at noon).
