East Cobb Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar opening in late May-early June

After being granted an alcohol license earlier this week, the forthcoming Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar location at Sandy Plains Marketplace in East Cobb is moving ahead with its opening plans.Bad Daddy's Burger Bar East Cobb opening

Amy Nedwell, director of marketing for the Colorado-based gourmet burger chain, told us that opening is slated for late May to early June.

This will be the fifth Bad Daddy’s location in metro Atlanta and second in Cobb, to go with another in Smyrna.

Like the recent return of the Flying Biscuit Cafe to East Cobb (previous coverage here), Bad Daddy’s had to get final approval of its alcohol license from the Cobb Board of Commissioners.

That’s because of Bad Daddy’s proximity to the The Art Place.

The Cobb ordinance allowing restaurants serving alcohol requires them to be at least 600 feet from homes, schools, religious institutions, parks and recreation centers, day care centers, addiction treatment centers and libraries.

The Art Place is a facility of the Cobb Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, and stands 560 feet from the Bad Daddy’s space.

The Cobb Business License Division initially denied an alcohol license based on those grounds. An appeal was filed, and on April 1 the Cobb License Review Board voted 5-0 to grant a distance waiver, just as it had for Jim ‘N Nick’s BBQ at Sandy Plains Marketplace, and which is closer to The Art Place than Bad Daddy’s.

A distance waiver requires final approval by county commissioners, who passed the measure for beer, wine, liquor and Sunday sales for Bad Daddy’s on their consent agenda.

In addition to its burger and food menu, Bad Daddy’s serves beer, wine and cocktails.

When it opens, Bad Daddy’s operating hours will be Sunday-Thursday from 11 am. to 10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

East Cobb restaurant update: gusto! opening slated for summer

Gusto East Cobb summer opening

We got an update from a representative of the forthcoming gusto! casual eatery at Parkaire Landing Shopping Center, who says the opening is generally slated for the summer.

There’s not a date or more specific time range that’s been announced, and initial renovations are underway.

gusto! (it’s smaller case g) will occupy the former space of Moe’s Southwest Grill (688 Johnson Ferry Road), which closed in November.

The Atlanta-based chain, which has seven other locations, is making its foray into East Cobb. The menu includes salads, bowls and wraps, many with Tex-Mex ingredients. Here are more details about what you’ll be able to order:

“a choice of four base options: crisp mixed greens, seasoned brown rice, half and half or a steamed flatbread wrap topped with a grilled protein (such as grilled chicken, umami tofu, shrimp or new baby bellas) and a gusto! – a signature flavor profile, with choices including chipotle mango avocado, ginger lime peanut, chile sesame barbeque, tahini cucumber feta, sweet soy sriracha and tzatziki lemon artichoke. Each order comes with house-made sweet potato chips and in addition to the traditional menu, gusto! East Cobb will offer family meal and meal prep options along with catering.”

The gusto! East Cobb spot will have outdoor dining and “limited indoor dining” when it opens, and will be the second such location with drive-through ordering.

The hours will be Sunday from 10:30 AM to 10PM for lunch and dinner, and delivery will be availalble through select third-party partners.

“Our goal is to truly permeate the community and its subcultures within sports, churches, schools and beyond. We look forward to representing something different and becoming ingrained as an East Cobber brand,” gusto! founder Nate Hybl said.

2021 Taste of East Cobb cancelled; Taste of Marietta delayed

Taste of East Cobb

Food festival update:

The organizers of the Taste of East Cobb announced recently that the event is being cancelled for the second year in a row due to continuing COVID-19 safety protocols.

The fundraising event for the Walton High School band programs is now slated for May 2022.

Last year the Taste of East Cobb was initially delayed to last fall, then to May 2021.

This year’s the Taste of Marietta, which was scheduled for late April, is being rescheduled to Oct. 24, according to the Marietta Visitors Bureau, which organizes the event.

In a release issued Monday the MVB said that “the safety and health of the community, vendors, artists, guests, and staff is the festival’s top priority. The Marietta Visitors Bureau will be monitoring and following recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Governor Kemp’s Executive Orders.”

Another major event in East Cobb already has been canceled for September. For the second year in a row, there will not be an EAST COBBER Parade and Festival for the same reasons.

East Cobb Flying Biscuit opening awaiting alcohol license

Flying Biscuit’s application for an alcohol license was posted in December. (ECN file)

On Wednesday the new Flying Biscuit Cafe at the Parkaire Landing Shopping Center announced its opening was “one week out!”

(The restaurant is now saying the doors will open on Monday, March 15, starting at 7 a.m.)

It’s been nearly a year and a half since the popular Atlanta-based breakfast and brunch spot announced its return to East Cobb. Those plans were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Tuesday, the Cobb Board of Commissioners will take up Flying Biscuit’s appeal of a denial of an alcohol license for beer, wine and Sunday serving.

It’s a routine process that happens frequently with new businesses selling or serving alcohol.

The Cobb County Code has distance requirements for those establishments regarding their location to homes, schools, religious institutions, parks, day care centers, addiction treatment centers and in the case of Flying Biscuit, a library.

The code states that any place serving alcohol must be at least 600 feet from a library. The East Cobb Library branch at Parkaire is 573 feet away in Parkaire.

So the initial alcohol license was automatically denied in January by the Cobb Business License Division.

Businesses can appeal to the Cobb License Review Board, a five-member appointed body, and on Feb. 24 that panel voted 4-0 to recommend approval.

Flying Biscuit hired Parks Huff, a noted Cobb zoning attorney, to handle the case, and he told the review board that the restaurant estimates that no more than 3 percent of its sales will be alcohol-related.

He also pointed to seven businesses nearby that have alcohol licenses.

Whenever a business makes such an appeal, it also has to fill out a lengthy questionnaire that requires many details to be explained about how the business will operate.

Restaurant manager Alexandra Baptiste said she plans to have 25 employees “when fully operational” and that staff will be trained every six months about alcohol sales.

When Flying Biscuit finally opens its doors—more than a decade after shutting them further up Johnson Ferry—the hours will be Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

East Cobb Tavern closes temporarily due to ownership change

East Cobb Tavern

Last week East Cobb Tavern said it was closing temporarily, but initially a reason wasn’t given.

That led to some speculation of a COVID-related closure, but the restaurant located in the Shallowford Corners Shopping Center said on its social media channels it’s because there’s an ownership change in the works.

The messages didn’t say when the restaurant will reopen. We left a message seeking more information and were told that there’s nothing definite yet.

After customers left well-wishing messages on the restaurant’s Facebook page, owner Sean McCall responded that he was hopeful the tavern’s general manager and kitchen manager would purchase the business.

“They’re great operators but Covid hurt us,” McCall said. “My wife and I are proud of the space but we can’t sustain anymore losses.”

East Cobb Tavern opened in Jan. 2020 after replacing Keegan’s Irish Pub, with a revamped menu that included items beyond traditional pub fare.

The tavern also had become the venue for dedicated sports team followers, including Notre Dame football.

The expanded tavern concept got a new addition in East Cobb in August with the opening of McCray’s Tavern at Parkaire Landing.

Drift closes temporarily due to employee positive COVID tests

Drift Fish House and Oyster Bar

Drift Fish House and Oyster Bar at The Avenue East Cobb announced Friday it’s closing temporarily:

“Despite our best efforts and safety protocols to control or prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have seen more than one employee test positive in the past 48 hours. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our team and guests, we will be closing for 10 days. We anticipate resuming normal operations for dinner service on Tuesday, January 19th. Thank you for the support you have shown us since the onset of the pandemic. Please stay tuned to our social media channels for updates.”

Drift is one of three restaurants in the Seed Hospitality Group owned by Doug Turbush. It reopened in June after COVID closures in March, then closed temporarily in July for a few days when an employee tested positive for the virus.

Seed Kitchen & Bar and Stem Wine Bar at Merchants Walk remain open.
