Floataway Cafe Chef to Head Up New Decatur Ford Fry Restaurant

Decatur Metro | November 29, 2010 | 1:28 pm

The AJC’s John Kessler reports that Drew Belline – “longtime chef” at Floataway Cafe – will take the helm at Ford Fry’s recently announced, but yet-to-be-named Decatur restaurant, which will take over the Eurasia Bistro space along East Ponce in the coming months.

As we previously reported, the restaurant will be “Italian-inspired”, but Kessler gives us some context, stating that Fry “cites San Fransico’s A16 as inspiration.”

Hot diggity!

    That’s great news – I love Floataway!

    Apologies to any Eurasia fans (and based on the perpetual emptiness of the place, there aren’t many), but I can only see this as great news. Eurasia’s tired fusion menu was at least 15 years out of date and I could never understand how it stayed open. Floataway, on the other hand, is one of the most beloved eateries in Atlanta, so I can’t wait to see what Belline brings to the table.

    Love JCT, Floataway, Italian, and San Fran. I’m feeling very very good.

    Good news for Decatur, but what will happen to Floataway?
