Description

Specialties

Ford Fry’s latest restaurant, The El Felix is situated in Alpharetta’s new Avalon development, and reckons a dive that you’ll find in El Paso or in Antonio. Ford Fry and Chef Kevin Maxey, vice president of culinary for Fry’s restaurants, together designed a «Mex-​Tex» menu that plays to their Texan roots, tracing the beginnings of the cuisine to the 1930s, as Mexican cooks first doctored up their dishes to suit a «Gringo» palate with Americanized elements, giving birth to the Tex-​Mex dialogue.

History

Established in 2014.

Ford Fry’s culinary inspirations cover many years and much of the country: from eating out with his family as a child in Texas, to studying at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, to spending time as a fine dining chef in Florida, Colorado and California – and eventually as a corporate chef in Atlanta. Fry and his six restaurants have been included in numerous national and local publications, such as Bön Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, Chicago Tribune, Cooking Light, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Esquire, Food & Wine, Garden & Gun, Sky, Southern Living and the Washington Post.
