Do any of the Fifth Group Restaurants facilities have an interesting history? A. Many of the Fifth Group Restaurants are housed in historically significant buildings. Our first restaurant, South City Kitchen, is located in a renovated 1920's bungalow. At the time the restaurant was built, Crescent Street was nearly vacant and South City Kitchen was the first casual fine dining restaurant in the area. Food Studio and the Event Gallery, where Bold American Catering holds its onsite events, are both located in the historical King Plow Arts Center. The building complex, which is on the National Historic Registry, was originally a plow manufacturing plant from 1902. It was renovated by the grandson of the original owner, King Shaw into a mixed use facility that houses 85 residential and commercial studios. The original elements of the nearly 100-year-old building are showcased in a design that's created around wood, concrete, brick, marble, steel and glass. In 1994, King Plow Arts Center received an award of excellence from the Atlanta Urban Design Commission.
