Top Chef Finalist Kevin Gillespie will have to look elsewhere for his upcoming BBQ joint. I received word late last night that the landlord and he were unable to come to an agreement on the lease and have ended talks. I previously announced a deal was near, sadly it did not come to fruition. While I still believe that he will find an intown home for his as-yet-unnamed BBQ joint, it's likely not to be the former Brake-O at Piedmont Avenue and Piedmont Circle. Stay tuned to ToNeTo Atlanta for updates before they become available elsewhere. ToNeTo Atlanta

Do you have any direct connections with Gillespie and his team? It would be neat to suggest they consider a bold step (bold in that his "brand name" is strong enough to likely bring other business with it) like somewhere along Buford Hwy (e.g. close to Northeast Plaza/back of Brookhaven) and which would not be more than a few miles from Woodfire.
