Saw they are having a franchise seminar at the Ritz Carlton, so I am guessing coming soon is Tasti D Lite http://www.tastidlite.com/Looks like they are enormously popular in the Mecca of Chains, New York.

On opposite end from Longhorn. To the left of BirdWatchers Supply. I have no idea if this is the same Chef Pete of Dumpwoody fame or not. I just tried to call Chef Pete's Cajun Cuisine, using the number on the web site. I got the message "This number has been disconnected or no longer in service". Geez, I hope that is not an omen. Or, maybe they misspelled the number.Well the websites is if it has finally opened. Can anyone confirm, refute? MoT, what say you?

Not exactly a "coming soon," but Cafe Efendi in Alpharetta is moving to a new location (the strip at the intersection of Hwy 9 and Old Milton where The Tinder Box is). Last day at the current location is allegedly March 12, to be followed by a two-month "transitional period" before re-opening at the new spot.

I like the current location as I think this house has character. Neat place to eat a meal. I guess having frontage on Main Street is better for business.

I liked the old building, but I'm guessing a lot of drive by traffic doesn't even realize its there (that doesn't seem to hurt Pure). I wonder if they'll build out the new location to give it some ambiance or if it will be just some generic strip mall gyro shop. Who knows, maybe it's a lease situation where the landlord didn't want to adjust. As for location on Main Street, even though it's on Main, I think that strip mall is horrible to get out of if you want to travel northbound. I wonder if that will be a deterrent.

I wonder if that will be a deterrent.From what I overheard, one of the main motivations for the move is that the new location is big enough to accommodate large parties and special events. They have apparently had to turn down a number of opportunities because of a lack of space. I'll be very interested to see if the new location has the right kind of ambiance. Of course, if they're still serving the Iskender kabob then I'll be back even if there's no ambiance at all.
Walked by the Fox Bros cantina space the other day and they look to be making progress. I am sure that space needed a lot of work based on what I saw of it in its previous incarnation.
