Mourning the loss of Prince? Here's where to eat in Atlanta like its 1999.
Music lovers the world over are mourning the loss of Prince . For those who drown their sorrows in food and drink, Atlanta restaurant Local Three is offering solace.
Beginning today, April 22, and running throughout the weekend, the restaurant at 3290 Northside Parkway ( and one of our favorite places for brunch ) is offering a 100-percent Prince-inspired menu. Customers will find rockin' small plates like a "Raspberry Beret" of greens, ham, radish and basil, or the "Little Red Cutlet" of a Prime strip with barley, spring onions, carrot and peppercorns. Among mains, there is "Nothing Compares to Ewe" with sugar snaps, frisee, feta, mint and Calabrian chiles.
"It's our way to give homage to someone who meant something to us," said Local Three chef and co-owner Chris Hall. "The best way we know how is through food. The servers are mad at me because I am making them sing 'Little Red Cutlet' to the tune of 'Little Red Corvette.'"
Thirsty tonight? Local Three has you covered with a sangria-esque Purple Rain. Dessert could be "Cinnamon Girl" or "Chocolate Invasion."
What will chefs listen to now? pined Hall, noting that "so many chefs remember listening to Prince in the kitchen."
