Lazy Betty Names Peter Hill As GM Of New Candler Park Restaurant

ATLANTA, GA -- Lazy Betty, the new restaurant from Executive Chef Ron Hsu and Chef de Cuisine/Partner Aaron Phillips, has named Peter Hill as general manager. Set to open in early 2019 at 1530 DeKalb Avenue NE, the restaurant is also managed by restaurant partners (and Chef Ron’s siblings) Howard and Anita Hsu.

He has also worked on the bar and spirits team at the St. Regis Hotel and as opening food & beverage director of the Hotel Indigo Atlanta-Vinings, eventually transitioning into a corporate role at hotel management company Valor Hospitality.

Most recently, Hill worked as GM of C&S Chowder House in Roswell and GM of Chef Hugh Acheson’s spot Achie’s at the Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta.

Hsu brings culinary chops from Michelin-starred Le Bernardin and Le Colonial, both internationally acclaimed NYC restaurants. He served as Executive Sous Chef at Le Bernardin before taking an Executive Chef position at Le Colonial. He then returned to Le Bernardin as Creative Director. Hsu’s cooking showcases a variety of cuisines and techniques using the highest quality ingredients available.

Phillips serves as Chef de Cuisine/Partner at Lazy Betty and brings NYC culinary talent from his former position as Sous Chef at Le Bernardin, where he met Chef Hsu.
