Celebrities have had a spotty past opening restaurants in metro Atlanta — for every Gunshow from former “Top Chef” contestant Kevin Gillespie or “Old Lady Gang” from “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss, there’s an Emeril’s from Emeril Lagasse or a Seafood Menu from rapper Lil Baby, which closed in early 2024 after about six months.
Recently, Calvin “DJ Infamous” Donald opened a franchise location of Panda Pancakes in Alpharetta; rappers Killer Mike and T.I. reopened Bankhead Seafood; indie rap legend Big Oomp opened BOSK in southwest Atlanta; and Quavo is a partner in the newly-opened V12.
Take a look through the gallery above to see how many celebrity restaurants you’ve tried, and which ones have closed their doors, and check out the map to see which restaurants are currently operating.
