Yes, the Krog Street Market project from Greg Best, Regan Smith, Paul Calvert, David Bies, and Bart Sasso, is called Ticonderoga Club. The partners confirmed the name of their restaurant and bar in a big reveal from The Bitter Southerner, and they shared some details on their grand plan, as well.
- The Ticonderoga Club name does indeed take inspiration from Fort Ticonderoga in Best and Smith's home state of New York.
- The goal is to provide "a place where you will receive excellent food and drink and genuine Southern hospitality, and you will leave that place with absolute certainty you got good value for your money, so good you will want to come back tomorrow and think you might actually have the money left to do it." So look for good food and drink, on the relative cheap.
- Creating their own legend, the partners at Ticonderoga Club claim it's in its 249th year. That's where those mysterious references to 1766 come from.
- The restaurant should open "within the next two weeks."
