The Friends of Daniel Morrison Benefit

Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 5pm

Our good friend and coworker Daniel Morrsion was hit on his scooter last Tuesday night on his way home from work and severely broke both his legs, we are having a benefit for him on Saturday February 9 beginning at 5pm. There will be a special whisk(e)y flight, select drafts, multiple raffles and live music by Jimmy Galloway from 10pm to Midnight.

We hope you will be able to join us to help support Daniel and his family.

John Kessler is all over the restaurant news in his ‘hood today.

Just hours after revealing that Chef Joe Truex of Repast would take over at Watershed for Scott Peacock, he drops another culinary bombshell on his Decatur community.

A source at Feast in Decatur has confirmed that Ryan Stewart will be the new chef at Farmstead 303 — the new, soon-to-open venture across the street that replaces the defunct Depeaux. Stewart, who is currently finishing up a gig at Mac McGee’s Irish Pub, earned a fan base for his work at the Glennwood in East Atlanta.

What else ya got up your sleeve, John?
