Todd Richards, executive chef at the Shed at Glenwood, is opening a smokehouse and raw bar called the Pig and the Pearl this winter. Richards—who previously worked at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead—and his Shed husband-wife owners Cindy Shera and Todd Martin are revamping the old Geisha House space across from YardHouse in Atlantic Station.

Richards has moved between a number of notable gigs in recent years, including serving as corporate chef for One Flew South and owner of the now-closed Rolling Bones. Esquire recently named him one of "Four New Chefs to Watch."
