Kevin Gillespie's anticipated restaurant opened Wednesday in Glenwood Park.
GLENWOOD PARK — Celebrity Chef Kevin Gillespie opened his new restaurant, Gunshow, Wednesday night.

"I want to give people an experience that still leaves time for the rest of their life," he told Eater Atlanta. The restaurant, named for the times he shared with his dad at gunshows on weekends, will feature locally sourced food and beer. If you go:

Inspiration comes from Brazilian churrascaria-style dining and Chinese dim sum traditions.
Ormewood Park Chef Kevin Gillespie’s highly anticipated new restaurant, Gunshow, opens Wednesday, May 8 at 924 Garrett St. in Glenwood Park. It will be a significant departure from the fine dining experience guests may have associated with Gillespie. Inspired by Brazilian churrascaria-style dining and Chinese dim sum, Gillespie combined the two for a decidedly fun and delicious result.

East Atlanta Patch reached out to famed Atlanta chef and Ormewood Park resident Kevin Gillespie for a couple his favorite alternative dishes to Thanksgiving Day dinner. These two recipes come from Gillespie's cookbook, Fire in My Belly (Andrews McMeel Publishing), which is on sale at Barnes & Noble bookstores and other bookselllers. Skillet-Roasted Cabbage (Feeds 4 as a side dish): "While I now have a fondness for stewed cabbage, I certainly did not have that as a child. Whenever my mom made it, the whole house smelled like cabbage for three days. What…
