SHAUN DOTY TO OPEN THE FEDERAL THIS NOVEMBER
Longtime
Atlanta Chef and Restaurateur Returns to His Kitchen Roots with New Midtown
Restaurant
ATLANTA (Sept. 22, 2016) – This fall, Atlanta diners will once again
find the face of acclaimed chef Shaun Doty in the kitchen with the opening of
his new restaurant, The Federal. Slated to open in November on Crescent Avenue
in Midtown, Doty’s new eatery tells the story of his travels from adolescence
to adulthood.
Well known across the city for his straightforward, ingredient-driven cuisine,
Doty looks forward to reestablishing the rapport he developed with longtime
guests in his previous executive chef roles. “The Federal is a great
opportunity for me to go back to doing what I truly love – making a connection
with my guests,” he says. “Over the past two and a half years, I’ve watched
this part of Midtown change, and I’ve spent a lot of time listening to what my
customers are looking for in this neighborhood. This is my chance to create what
they’ve asked for.”
Doty will prepare a menu that is influenced by traditional cuisine and
has a bistro feel. Garnering inspiration from his work at previous restaurants
such as Shaun’s, MidCity Cuisine and Mumbo Jumbo and culinary stints abroad,
Doty considers his dishes at The Federal to be “souvenirs of his life.” Steak
frites harkens back to the time Doty lived in Belgium, while chopped liver extols
his frequent visits to Katz’s Delicatessen while living in New York City.
The restaurant’s name is inspired by the nearby Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta, whose grand architecture casts shadows over the restaurant, and serves
as an homage to the Midtown neighborhood where it is located.
Joining
Doty in this new venture is Lance Gummere, with whom he already has a long
history. Gummere worked side-by-side with Doty at Mumbo Jumbo, and the chef duo
founded Bantam + Biddy and Chick-a-Biddy together.
The Federal
is located in Midtown Atlanta at 1050 Crescent Avenue.
