A restaurant co-owned by Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz has made a comeback from a recently failed health inspection in which officials reported expired milk and raw hamburgers stored over collard greens.

Escobar Restaurant and Tapas, located in Castleberry Hill, scored a 92/A following the Monday evaluation.

The restaurant had to make “internal changes” and let five managers go after the failed inspection, Escobar spokesman Justin Andrews confirmed.

Andrews said getting a 92 during an unscheduled re-inspection “speaks to what we stand for” and shows that putting new management in place was the right move.

The eatery, co-owned by the man also known as Tauheed Epps and entrepreneur Mychel "Snoop" Dillard, opened in December.

2 Chainz took to Instagram to post a picture of the new score, along with an inspirational comment, to his 3.1 million followers.

It read, in part: “Just like everything in life we had our ups and downs along the way, but we're only getting stronger & better!”

The post got more than 10,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

“I got 11 years kitchen experience I've done incredible things. If you're ever looking for a great chef to run your restaurant get at me,” replied one job seeker.

No word on whether 2 Chainz took the Instagrammer up on the offer.

He has been ferrying various things back and forth and is surprised he still has power. Vinings residents were dealing with a major flooding issue Tuesday, as the Chattahoochee River made its way along the banks near Paces Ferry Road.  Many residents with upscale homes were hit hard, some for the second time since an earlier post millennia flooding episode. Since early Monday, seven lives have been taken and several other people remain missing. The record-setting rains also have closed schools and roads and have left people stranded in their homes. The river's level near Vinings was at 27.36 feet before daybreak Tuesday after cresting at 28.1 feet overnight. Flood stage is 14 feet, and anything above 20 feet is considered "major" flooding.
