Doug Turbush Is Opening a Third East Cobb Restaurant

1) MARIETTA — Local chef/restaurateur Doug Turbush, the man behind Seed Kitchen & Bar and Stem Wine Bar, is working on a third eatery. Turbush will open Drift, a "modern fish house and oyster bar" in The Avenue East Cobb at 4475 Upper Roswell Road in late 2015. Look for seafood and meats coming from the restaurant's wood-burning grill, plus selection of oysters and other dishes from the raw bar. Chef de cuisine Bendan Keenan is working with Turbush on menu development. Jason Raymond is in as GM/sommelier, and Chris McNeil is crafting the beverage program as bar manager and mixologist.

"Drift is a chef-driven restaurant offering an approachable menu of creative, sustainable seafood preparations and techniques," Turbush said in a prepared statement. "The Avenue is an ideal location for a neighborhood gathering place, and we plan to deliver a dynamic dining destination and the high level of service our guests have come to expect from our restaurants."
