Twisted Soul Opens In MARBAR Space December 3rd, Check Out the Menu
Decatur Metro | November 24, 2014 | 9:18 amTwisted Soul, a new Southern restaurant “with a twist” opening in the old MARBAR space along East Howard Ave, has announced its opening date and shared its MENU. Here’s the official press release…
Chef and caterer Deborah VanTrece has taken over the Decatur space previously home to Marbar. Chef Deborah is focused on reviving a soul food concept from the late 1990s called Edible Art.
The restaurant is Southern based, with a soulful twist — a little different than the farm-to-table Southern fusion. She will be working with local farmers and offer seasonal menus. Items will include cocoa-crusted rack of lamb with sweet potato pone and spoonbread, shrimp and crab fritters, seafood macaroni, barbecue chicken spring rolls, and of course her award winning southern fried chicken. At the bar, the focus will be on Southern spirits such as bourbon along with unique moonshine infused signature cocktails, pecan and sweet potato vodkas. There will be a sweet potato martini, white whiskey cobbler, and a Georgia sunrise. Local craft beers will also be available on draft and bottle. Child, vegetarian and gluten free offerings will also be served.
VanTrece will lead the kitchen, supported by select staff members who have been working with her since she opened Edible Art in 1998. It closed in 2002 due to a change in building management. As a very hands-on chef, she knows her vision and wants to be there to fulfill it and believes that top-notch customer service is key.
The majority of the décor – such as the rustic tables and chairs will remain intact, with both dining room, bar and outdoor patio. “I love the feel. It’s very neutral, casual, comfortable, urban-chic atmosphere,” VanTrece says.
Twisted Soul Kitchen + Bar will be open to the public for dinner service starting December 3rd, 2014, located at 314 East Howard Avenue, 30030. In celebration of our opening week, they’ll be toasting their patrons with a glass of wine on the house, December 3rd – 7th.

She had me at “seafood mac-n-cheese”…having red velvet Bundt cake on the menu doesn’t hurt, either!!!
They have moonshine cocktails! I’m there!
Salads are very pricey!
Hope they start with their A game. Restaurant scene in COD is unforgiving.
