After visiting Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar, I'm not surprised that restaurateur-chef Doug Turbush has a devoted following for his east Cobb locales. Seed Kitchen & Bar, Stem Wine Bar, now Drift. Add me to the Turbush tribe.
That means I’m willing to make the one-hour trek on a Friday night from intown to Turbush’s newest digs at 4475 Roswell Road in Marietta. That also means that, despite keeping a bumper-to-bumper headache at bay by singing along to mellow Suzanne Vega tunes, by the time I parked the car in the Avenue East Cobb shopping mall, which Drift calls home, I was ready for a drink.
