Local resident Gonzalo de Aristegui opens his new Seattle-style Teriyaki shop in Atlanta.
The people of Atlanta have spoken, and they want one thing: teriyaki. And who’s got the bowls big enough to step up to the plate and deliver? Let’s just say the Madness is spreading.
This November, Teriyaki Madness, the Seattle-style Teriyaki Shop franchise with locations all over the country, is officially bringing its beloved menu to the people of Georgia. De Aristegui opend the newest Teriyaki Madness shop at 1923 Howell Mill Road.
De Aristegui’s Seattle-style Teriyaki Shop offers huge, satisfying teriyaki bowls filled with addicting flavors and high-quality ingredients like all-natural marinated chicken, steak, salmon or tofu with fresh, stir-fry veggies and a base of steamed white, brown or fried rice or Yakisoba noodles. The best part? They’re healthy. Or not. The menu is fully customizable, so do your thing — we’re not judging.
De Aristegui, an avid restaurateur in the Atlanta area, has an extensive background in marketing and customer management. After a 20 year career with Coca-Cola, De Aristegui started his first business in the beverage industry and was first introduced to restaurants through his son’s school classmate’s father. For the past four and a half years, De Aristegui has owned and operated two Italian restaurants in Atlanta.
