Eater Atlanta reached out to Alton for comment, and if Alton's response is any indication of how this idea will pan out, we're in for a treat . . . maybe. "It is my intention to open a coffee shop in Marietta, GA, though I'm not at a point where I can release any details," Alton told Eater Atlanta in an email. "I can tell you this — no, no, I've said too much already." Classic. Here's hoping we'll soon be able to drink one of Alton's favorite coffee beverages — a cortado — made by the man himself.
