UPDATE (August 17, 2011): Chef Art Smith to open Southern Art and Bourbon Bar Restaurant September 26
Art Smith, Oprah’s former day-to-day chef of ten years, is opening a restaurant in Buckhead.
Called Southern Art, Smith will open his latest venture at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead.
Southern Art will open in space currently occupied by Au Pied de Cochon, Buckhead’s 24-hour European brasserie, according to Smith’s website.
Au Pied de Cochon will close by fall of this year, according to Patrick Birchall, general manager at the hotel.
“Restaurant’s are only fashionable for a certain period of time,” Brichall said. “We are hoping to operate a new restaurant by fall.”
