(ATLANTA) Love and Hip Hop Atlanta’s Karlie Redd, singer Ne-Yo and his wife, Crystal Smith partnered up to bring a new diner to Atlanta.
The trio’s new venture, Johnny’s Chicken and Waffles is located in College Park and as the name suggests, the most popular menu item is their chicken and waffles, WSBTV reports.
“This is a new venture for me. I look forward to living up to and potentially exceeding whatever potential is possible,” said Ne-Yo.
Alongside the popular chicken and waffles, patrons will have the option to mix and match other menu items like cheddar biscuits, cobbler desserts, brioche french toast and a loaded chicken sandwich.
“Ne-Yo and I aim to make everyone feel at home at Johnny’s Chicken & Waffles, and you never know who you’ll see dining alongside you. Anyone who appreciates music will love the ambiance we created in our dining room, with awards and plaques from Ne-Yo, myself and some of our closest friends,” said Redd.
Smith attributed her excitement for partnering with the restaurant to her grandmother's love for cooking, “it was her way of bringing everyone together, and my life’s dream is to spread that love to the world through my recipes created with love.”
The restaurant’s decor features platinum albums from popular Atlanta artists as well as Instagrammable neon signs with sayings like “Everyday I’m Waffle’n.”
