We have some
exciting news to share!

The team behind West Egg Café will open The General Muir, a Jewish-style deli, in late-2012 at the Emory Point development on Clifton Road next to the campus of Emory University.  The restaurant will be a partnership between Jennifer and Ben Johnson, who originally opened West Egg in 2004, and Shelley Sweet, current General Manager of West Egg and a veteran of Hugh Acheson's Empire State South and multiple restaurants within the Concentrics Restaurants group.  Joining this team is a chef to be announced this fall.  
 
The General Muir will serve traditional deli classics, such as pastrami and corned beef, chopped liver, smoked fish, and hand-rolled kettle-boiled bagels, as well as innovative takes on traditional dishes.
 
Like West Egg, The General Muir will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, as well as offer a full bar.  There will be both a full-service dining room and a separate counter-service area serving bagels, pastries, sweets, sandwiches, and a full range of coffee drinks. 
 
The General Muir is named for the U.S. refugee transport ship that brought Jennifer’s mother and grandparents, Holocaust survivors, to New York following World War II.
