South - Eatery by Electric City Works will be the first fully licensed restaurant opened by the couple.

“We are so excited to finally have the doors open at South,” said Genge. “It was the logical next step in the growth of our business and with such great local talent, we are so proud of the menu we have put together.”

In February, the pair launched the Electric City Works Market which served wine, beer, coffee, groceries, fresh baked goods and heat at-home meals.

They rebranded their business from Chalk Therapy to their current name as a retail store, workshop and event space.

South - Eatery is currently open for takeout orders Wednesday to Saturday from 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m (or until sold out).
