Ex-Metrotainment Exec Takes Over Radial Café

Frank Bragg, former director of communications at Metrotainment Cafes, is the new owner of Radial Café in Candler Park. The previous owner, Phil Palmer, is taking to London with his partner.

Bragg was the managing partner at Einstein’s Restaurant on Juniper Street in Midtown prior to becoming director of communications for parent-company, Metrotainment Cafes.

Close friends of Bragg say Radial will keep the same “small carbon footprint” that made it a Green leader, but to expect “big local flavors to characterize Frank’s style.”

Lets hope they don’t mean the “big local flavors” of the Metrotainment mentality: i.e. provide a truly fun environment and then wreck it with food that birds would refuse to regurgitate to their young and seal it with third world service.

Radial, located at 1530 Dekalb Avenue, first opened in April of 1999. Serving good ole American food, Radial has slowly become a community hub for residents of Candler Park and other Atantans alike.

We’re interested in seeing the plans for Radial unfold under new ownership.
