Chef Shane Ingram cuts ties with [ONE], G2B

Chef Shane Ingram (pictured left teaching a cooking class) has cut ties with [ONE] restaurant and G2B and is instead back at the helm at his original fine dining restaurant, Four Square Restaurant in Durham.

Last year, Ingram partnered with an investor to open [ONE] in Chapel Hill, said his wife, Elizabeth Woodhouse. Then Ingram and the anonymous investor opened G2B in Durham in May. Now, Ingram and the investor have amicably parted ways and Ingram wanted to get the word out, Woodhouse said.

Ingram is back fulltime at Four Square Restaurant. Earlier this year, Four Square's chef de cuisine Justin Rakes moved onto work in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Woodhouse said Ingram has not filled that position, instead elevated cook Kyle Wilkerson to sous chef.

G2B, Chef Shane Ingram's newest venture, to open May 26 in Durham

Chef Shane Ingram of Four Square Restaurant in Durham and [ONE] in Chapel Hill is opening his third restaurant, G2B, in Durham on May 26. (That is a hopeful date. I'll check in with Ingram next week to confirm the opening is still that day.)

Ingram describes the new restaurant as an "American-style beer garden." The menu offers appetizers all for $10 or under, entrees for $20 or under and three milkshakes among its desserts. I'm intrigued by the Chicken Under a Brick with mustard jus and a buttermilk-thyme biscuit. Go HERE to read the menu.

The restaurant is at the corner of Shannon Road and University Drive in a location that used to house Starlu and Restaurant Eden, which both closed in recent years. (The restaurant entrance is in the back of an office building and can be tough to see from the road.) Let's hope Ingram's restaurant mojo these days can overcome the location's history.
