ATLANTA — Atlanta it’s official. Bankhead Seafood , a staple in the Atlanta community for decades, is back open for business.
Hundreds of community members, dignitaries, food influencers, family, friends and supporters gathered to celebrate the grand reopening on Sunday.
Hip-hop icons, entrepreneurs, and activists T.I. and Killer Mike have collaborated multiple times in their careers. Now, Bankhead Seafood may be among their most impactful collaborations.
The historic restaurant, originally owned by Helen Brown Harden, closed its doors in 2018. Both T.I. and Killer Mike said the goal was to honor her legacy and continue on her tradition in the westside community.
“It’s a pleasure and an honor to be able to reintroduce this legendary experience back to the community,” T.I. said. “Ms. Harden has been feeding this community and offering employment opportunities. She has served as an example of entrepreneurship and success on this side of town, on this very street and in this very building. It’s an honor to carry on this legacy alongside my partner Killer Mike.”
