Ludacris

Grammy winning artist Ludacris is closing Straits Atlanta, a restaurant he has operated for four years with partner Chris Yeo.

Ludacris made the decision after winning a contract to open a restaurant at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

The restaurant's name is inspired by the artist's 2003 album of the same name. It will serve comfort food and craft beers using locally grown ingredients.

"I am extremely excited to put my restaurateur footprint into a new venture inside the busiest international airport in the United States, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport," Ludacris said in a release. "Straits was a great segue into the industry and with Chicken N Beer I can create my own concept. I look forward to expanding my creativity and driving to a much higher plane."
