Farm to Table & Back is Back

The first of four Farm to Table & Back guest chef dinners at JCT. Kitchen was a huge success! Hugh Acheson got behind the stove alongside Ford Fry and cooked up a scrumptious meal to benefit Georgia Organics. And as a guest there that night, I can say that I benefitted too! Next week, Thursday, July 15 from 6 - 10 p.m., Chris Hastings of Birmingham's Hot and Hot Fish Club is the guest chef. His five-course dinner is $75 per person, and 100 percent of dinner proceeds go to Georgia Organics. There are a couple of housekeeping rules: guests must call ahead to reserve their "Farm to Table & Back" table, and everyone at the table must order the "Farm to Table & Back" menu. Here's the number: 404-355-2252.

Southern My Way Coming Your Way

We’re big fans of Gena Knox’s laidback, contemporary Southern cooking style, and lucky for us (and you) she has a new cookbook Southern My Way coming out this November!  Take a look at this video of Gena as she visits some of her favorite spots for Southern culinary inspiration, including White Oak Pastures, Belle Chevre, Lane Southern Orchards,  Nora Mill Granary and more. 

We can’t decide if we want to hit the road to visit all these delicious locations or start cooking up her recipes after watching this video!  Until the cookbook comes out, you can find out what’s cooking with Gena by following her on her website, Facebook or Twitter.  Bon Appetit, y’all!
