About Fork & Hammer:

FORK & HAMMER follows Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown, an entrepreneurial power couple in Charlotte, N.C., as they renovate a new restaurant while running five completely different award-winning eateries that focus on: classic Southern, upscale Italian, craft beer, steakhouse-meets-church potluck and artisanal doughnuts.

All of their restaurant properties are in historic buildings.

As they move onto their sixth restaurant, Leluia Hall, Jeff and Jamie take on the Herculean task of facilitating a complete transformation of a 130-year-old former church into Charlotte's next dining experience.

The dynamic duo is doubling down by also picking up and moving a 120-year-old former grocery store 750 feet and placing it next to the church.

The catch is that the restaurant can't open until both are ready.
