Before opening the restaurant, Austin worked for several years in corporate as a corporate specialist and business development manager at Campbell Soup, Godiva, and 1-800-Flowers. After successfully starting a real estate business, a transportation company, and a nonprofit, Austin partnered with a friend to open Nouveau’s first location, an upscale restaurant located near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport.

Along with turkeys, families received an assortment of items for a Thanksgiving Dinner (which included macaroni and cheese, vegetables, juices, milk and more). The year prior, Nouveau partnered with CeeLo Green to provide turkeys for metro Atlanta families in need during the holidays.

Last May, Nouveau Bar & Grill also partnered with Nancy’s Pizza Camp Creek, and Harold’s Chicken & Ice Bar Old National to put together a CARE PACKAGE GIVEAWAY for the 2020 Graduates of various high-schools in the Metro-Atlanta area.
