A Peek Inside The Lawrence

Liza Dunning at LuxeCrush Atlanta stopped by a recent pre-opening party at The Lawrence to catch up with the team: Patrick La Bouff (Dinner Party Atlanta) and his Top Flr/Sound Table partners, Darren Carr and chef Shane Devereux, as well as chef de cuisine George Brooks (formerly at Rathbun's) and "co-beverage directors" Eric Simpkins (formerly at DrinkShop, then Trois) and T. Fable Jeon (named "one of '10 Mixologists to Watch' by The Beverage Network"). Also of note, the King of Pops brothers have invested in the restaurant, too. The group is throwing another two dinner parties tonight and Friday. More on the food and the scene here. [LuxeCrush Atlanta]
