At the Battery Atlanta, Chef Taft’s concept, Feed Fried Chicken + Such, has closed according to Tomorrow’s News Today.
They haven’t had a Facebook post since July 29th and the article sites that a saturated market and a general lack of “organic traffic” at the complex on non-game days/during the off season was the reason for closing.
Chef Taft’s other Atlanta area restaurants include the Chicken and the Egg, in Marietta, and Brine Seafood Shack, at Avalon in Alpharetta. Taft is supposed to open the Feed concept at Haylcon and Peachtree Corners.
