Chef Zeb Stevenson’s new restaurant

Zeb Stevenson had been the executive chef at Watershed restaurant since January 2014. But his last day of service was Sunday, when Matt Marcus took over as chef-owner. Now comes word that Stevenson, who previously worked at Spice Market Atlanta, the Livingston at the Georgian Terrace Hotel and Parish, has a new job lined up with former Watershed partner Ross Jones. There’s no location, yet. And details about the concept are sparse. But Stevenson told The Atlanta Journal-Constituti­on he envisions a place that’s “not stuffy, not fancy, not where you get hung up on what to wear.”
