Chef Marcus Samuelsson, the restaurateur behind NYC’s famed Red Rooster Harlem, is opening the doors this weekend to his anticipated first restaurant in Atlanta (via EaterAtlanta)
lands in the Old Fourth Ward with a menu built around comfort food, and a light-hearted dining room decorated with records and roller skates. Marcus B&G is in opening starting tonight with limited walk-ins, and then its first full week starts this Tuesday.
The location was a key component of his decision to open in Atlanta. “When I think about our restaurants, whether it’s in Harlem or Overtown, I think about job creation, but also where in the city where I think it would make sense for us as a restaurant group to be,” he says. “Working in a historical African-American neighborhood, it’s always been something I’ve enjoyed. I’ve created jobs in the area and I take a lot of pride in [that], and that’s what we are going to do.
Chef Hannah Young is executive chef at Marcus Bar & Grille, and her interest in barbecue led to dishes like smoked beef biscuit over fries with ‘bama sauce At Marcus, comfort food staples involve fried chicken and cornbread waffles with chili butter, deviled eggs with chicken cracklins, and shrimp and grits with chorizo gumbo. There’s also an emphasis on seafood, from entrees like miso striped bass to a lighter appetizer like a shrimp ceviche with roasted carrot and avocado. Isaiah Kelsey is heading up the beverages, with cocktails like “All the Smoke” mixed up with Xicaru Silver mezcal, jalapeño syrup, triple sec, and lime juice.
