New York City, NY

Chef Scotley Innis, a native New Yorker on Season 18 of Hell’s Kitchen on Fox, is opening a location of his Atlanta restaurant, Continent, (500 Metropolitan Avenue, at Union Avenue) in the lobby level of Williamsburg’s Hotel Indigo. Look for African, Caribbean, and Asian-leaning dishes like Scotch bonnet fried chicken, escovitch lobster, and oxtail lo mein on the menu. Though spokespeople from both the hotel and Atlanta’s Continent did not confirm an opening date, reservations are now available on Resy starting May 22. Innis started his career in Jamaican kitchens in New York; he was on Hell’s Kitchen in 2018 and opened Continent in 2021. “Inspired by his travels and love for the diaspora of African cuisine,” Eater reported when it opened, “Continent finally provides Innis the chance to showcase his vision for food from these regions and around the world at his own restaurant.” — Melissa McCart, editor.
