The General Muir to open at the Emory Point development.
The team behind West Egg Café will open The General Muir, a Jewish-style deli, in late-2012, the restaurant in a press release announced Friday.
The General Muir will open at the Emory Point development on Clifton Road next to the campus of Emory University.
The restaurant will be a partnership between Jennifer and Ben Johnson, who originally opened West Egg in 2004, and Shelley Sweet, current General Manager of West Egg and a veteran of Hugh Acheson’s Empire State South and multiple restaurants within the Concentrics Restaurants group, according to the release.
The General Muir will serve traditional deli classics, such as pastrami and corned beef, chopped liver, smoked fish, and hand-rolled kettle-boiled bagels, as well as innovative takes on traditional dishes.
Like West Egg, The General Muir will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, as well as offer a full bar. There will be both a full-service dining room and a separate counter-service area serving bagels, pastries, sweets, sandwiches, and a full range of coffee drinks.
The General Muir is named for the U.S. refugee transport ship that brought Jennifer’s mother and grandparents, Holocaust survivors, to New York following World War II.
Other restaurants coming to the the Emory Point development include Fresh to Order, La Tagliatella, Tin Lizzy’s, Marlow’s Tavern, and Which Wich Superior Sandwiches.

Wow, this is exciting news. Should be interesting to see if this in fact with be authentic. Hopefully the pastrami and corned beef will be homemade and not another Boar’s Head Reuben! Looking forward to it.
