So says the all-knowing Tomorrow’s News Today blog…

Joe Truex and Co. have signed a lease for a new home for Watershed Restaurant which closed last week after more than a decade in Decatur.  …Intended to be the signature restaurant of the Brookwood on Peachtree, Watershed plans to reopen in their new digs by year end. Interestingly the Brookwood, a condo building, was recently purchased and units are again being sold after the building sat abandoned and vacant for over a year.

For all those fried-chicken heads out there, it looks like it’s around a 20 minute drive from Decatur, according to Google Maps.

This move will serve as the basis of my new book, “How Decatur Saved Buckhead”.

From John Kessler’s Food and More blog…

Today Watershed restaurant in Decatur announces the appointment of chef Joe Truex as its new chef and operating partner. He replaces Scott Peacock, who left the restaurant in February after 11 years, to pursue a documentary film project and begin working on a memoir. Truex, who has run Repast restaurant with his wife, Mihoko Obunai-Truex for the past four years, will assume the position June 1.

Both Truex, who currently resides in Decatur, and managing partner Emily Saliers relay to Kessler that changing up the menu more frequently will be a key component of evolving the restaurant in a post-Peacock era.

Watershed has an official press release on their website.
