Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges has partnered with San Francisco restaurateur Chris Yeo to open several restaurants in Metro Atlanta.  The first, which will be called “Straits”, is set to open in April of this year in Midtown.  Straits will be located at 793 Juniper St. (at Fifth Street) in the building that was formerly the restaurant Spice.

The menu looks good so I’ll definitely be adding this spot to my list!  The hours will be 5 p.m. to midnight (Monday through Wednesday)  5 p.m. to 1 a.m. (Thursday through Saturdays) and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays.  There are no lunch hours specified but they will open for brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.
