Murphy's is managed by the Concentrics Restaurant Group, which is one of the top companies in the Atlanta metro area. Murphy's, practically a tourist attraction because of its great value and amazing weekend brunch, has been a great experience resulting in even greater relationships.

Working for Chef Emeril Lagasse was one of the best experiences of my career. I truly enjoyed the management team(s) and the staff and, of course, the food. Responsibility for the bar program was a great learning experience, and firmly convinced me that I belong in the restaurant business.

I followed a general manager to open this new restaurant, which was a success in large part to the small, highly knowledgeable, and hard working staff. After only a few months we were named in the top 10 restaurants (#6) in Atlanta and the Best New Restaurant by Jezebel Magazine. http://www.jezebelmagazine.com/

Located atop a beautiful museum along the Mississippi River, this small rooftop restaurant had a huge terrace to support large crowds, and it delivered on all fronts. Aside from the smallish staff, it was huge numbers all around, selling over a million dollars in our first year! I love the management team and all that they did/do for their employees. It reminded me why I love to work in family owned places.

This was a great experience at a highly popular nightclub in Louisiana. It closed its doors after a hectic first year.

Family owned and operated fine dining restaurant in Baton Rouge going strong for over 70 years. I began after a million dollar renovation doubled the size of the waitstaff, and quickly found a home. A great place to work and to learn the restaurant business.
