Enchanting Eleanor's
After hearing the buzz about the renovations at Smyrna favorite Muss & Turner's, we were naturally anxious to check it out. We'd heard it would be a cool new bar with a swanky name, Eleanor's, but we didn't know it would be so discreet. »Read More |

Restaurateurs of The Year 2011
November 13, 2011 In November, we were received the distinguished honor of being voted the Georgia Restaurant Association's Restaurateurs of the Year for 2011! The recognition from our peers and a trophy is nice and all but without your incredible support it means nothing. Thank YOU for allowing us to do what we love to do every day. We hope to never lose that privilege. As matter of record, leave it to us to drop and break the trophy. It is on display at Local Three in it's broken glory behind the bar. »Trophy & Ugly Mugs of Us: As matter of record, leave it to us to drop and break the trophy.

Q&A with Chris Hall of forthcoming Local Three
At whiplash speed even for the restaurant world, word first spread in June that Joël was closing, and then it immediately became known that the restaurant space would be taken over by Todd Mussman and Ryan Turner of Muss & Turner’s. They have partnered with chef Chris Hall, whose resume also includes Fourth & Swift and Canoe and who will oversee the (epic) kitchen in the restaurant—due to open late October or early November—that the trio is calling Local Three. Hall tells us about the space overhaul and menu philosophy. »Read More |

Best French Fries
The AJC dining teamâs Popular Eats specialist Jon Watson says, âThe beauty of Muss & Turnerâs fries is the simplicity. The fries are cut fresh daily, seasoned simply, fried to crispy perfection, and served in a generous paper-lined cone. They donât call for much in the way of dressing up, but you canât go wrong with M&Tâs Sriracha Mayonnaise.â »Read More |

Creative Loafing's Atlanta Chefs to Watch
Chris Hall has worked all over the city, including in the kitchens of 4th & Swift, Canoe, and Muss & Turner's. Now he's primed to take the reigns of a new venture in the recently closed Joel location. Along with Muss & Turner's Todd Mussman and Ryan Turner, Hall hopes to have Local Three open by early October. The project, its ambitions, and its whereabouts are indicative of the current state of Atlanta dining. Joel was one of the city's last locally owned, non-hotel fine dining restaurants. Now in its place comes three guys who hope to open a "really killer neighborhood restaurant." Casual dining coming from this Cadillac of a kitchen is a change for sure, and Hall's task is to make the project appetizing enough to create a destination. »Read More |

Muss & Turner's Burger
I hit up Muss & Turner's this past Sunday for lunch. I was joined by my hetero-life-partner, Aaron. We've had brunch a couple of times the last few weeks, and as this meal generally occurs after a 3-4 hour workout, I'm pretty hungry. We usually go the route of splitting a bunch of things. »Read More |
