Rapper Opens Restaurant at World's Busiest Airport: Reports

ATLANTA, GA — Ludacris, the Grammy Award-winning rapper, is branching out into restaurants by opening his own place at Hartsfield-Jackson airport, according to media reports.

Chris "Ludacris" Bridges introduced Chicken+Beer, a 90-seat eatery in the airport's Concourse D, in a video posted Thursday on Instagram, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. It's named after his third studio album, which came out in 2003 and has sold more than 3 million copies.

The new restaurant is being run by a partnership between Ludacris and Jackmont Hospitality, an airport concessionaire, according to media reports. A grand opening for Chicken+Beer is scheduled for December.

In his Instagram video, the "Fast & Furious" star said it took about three years to open the restaurant at Hartsfield-Jackson, billed as the world's busiest airport, AJC.com reported. To check out photos of Chicken+Beer on the rapper's Instagram account, click here.

Thrillist, a website that tracks urban and lifestyle trends across the country, describes the menu as "Southern to the core, with main plates like a two-piece fried chicken dish that’s complemented with a molasses biscuit and two sides," including corn edamame succotash.

The new place also will serve locally sourced beers from SweetWater Brewing Co., Terrapin Beer Co., Monday Night Brewing and other microbreweries in the area, reported the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
