Restaurateurs Hicham Azhari and Fikret Kovac of F&H Food Trading Group are teaming up with corporate executive chef Bob McDonough for their fourth venture together. Roswell’s Salt Factory Pub will open a second location in Alpharetta in late February 2013.
F&H Food Trading Group’s collection of restaurants currently reside on Canton Street in Roswell, and include Latin American-inspired INC. Street Food, New York butcher-influenced Little Alley Steak and the original Salt Factory Pub.
Salt’s menu is locally sourced and emphasizes fresh, regional flavors with an international influence. Menu favorites include McDonough’s Prince Edward Island steamed mussels, cornmeal dusted calamari, 7-onion soup and Springer Mountain chicken double pot pie. Additional entrees include housemade pizzas and burgers with prime beef sourced from Chicago butcher Meats by Linz. The pub will have a selection of 24 draft beers as well as a varied scotch and bourbon collection.
Alpharetta’s Salt Factory seats 90 and will have a large patio featuring a bocce ball court and outdoor seating. The interior will feature dark woods and pub-inspired lighting. Salt will serve lunch and dinner daily.
