"The new 28,000-square-foot yet-named food hall will feature a mix of 13 food stalls, a central bar in front opening to a large patio, and full-service restaurants, like the second location of Lake and Oak Neighborhood Barbecue, owned by chefs Todd Richards and Josh Lee." - Beth McKibben

"Chef Josh Lee mentioned that the passage of the to-go cocktail bill has been a 'long time coming,' and that cocktail sales help boost the bottom line for many restaurants." - Beth McKibben

"Soul food as a cuisine has really come into its own this year, not only in Atlanta, but beyond state lines. The heightened desire for comfort food has opened the door for more and more people to bring soul food recipes into their own kitchens. After having COVID-19 for nine weeks, and still suffering some post-symptoms, I opened Lake & Oak Neighborhood BBQ with my business partner, chef Josh Lee. Together we created jobs within our communities and a new place for our neighbors to engage each other in a socially distant way." - Lia Picard
