Craft Chef Is Leaving Us For Peaches and Sunshine
Park Cities People blogger JB Hayes broke the news this Friday that Craft’s Exec Chef Kevin Maxey is leaving town. Maxey is heading to Atlanta, where he is going to open Craft Atlanta in the Mansion on Peachtree. Taking his place will be Anthony Zapolla, current sous chef at Craft Dallas. Good luck to Maxey, who was always very sweet and helpful when dealing with annoying press types like myself.
Apparently, lucky Tony is running around France hanging out with his former boss, Alain Ducasse, before taking over for Maxey in the kitchen. Jealous.

Yep - Craft Atlanta will be located in The Mansion on Peachtree, A Rosewood Hotel and is expected to open in September. The Mansion on Peachtree, which has the same regal design aesthetic as the legendary Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel in New York, opened May 1 and is gorgeous. While you’re waiting for Craft Atlanta to open, you can dine at Neo, the contemporary Italian restaurant run by French Master Chef Eric Chopin.
