More than 100
award-winning regional chefs plus sommeliers and beverage visionaries unite in Midtown this
weekend for the Atlanta
Food & Wine Festival. The culinary camaraderie of dinners, classes, demos
and sipping and sampling begins on Thursday, May 29 and keeps on cooking
through Sunday, June 1. JCT. Kitchen & Bar is hosting an
oyster roast/fish fry/Floribama-flavored Pig Out Coastal-style dinner on May 29.
Stop by the tasting tents at 9 a.m. on Friday, May 30 and try a sample of Mike
Fuller’s Parmesan scallops with lobster risotto. Friday also finds Shaun
Doty of Bantam & Biddy and Chick-a-Biddy chatting up Bantam
& Brew, a bird- and beer-based cooking demo presented by Stella Artois.
That night, Gerry Klaskala of Aria and Kevin Gillespie of Gunshow will serve up their favorites at
the About
South dinner at the Atlanta History Center. On Saturday, May 31, Orpheus Brewing
and Shaun Doty contribute to the Connoisseur’s Breakfast that’s all about “Fast
Casual.” Wrap up the festival on Sunday, June 1 with Ford
Fry and his team of Adam Evans (The
Optimist), E.J. Hodgkinson (JCT. Kitchen & Bar), Andrew Isabella (No. 246) and Joe Schafer (King + Duke) taking on Empire
Breakfasts. Also on Sunday, Kevin Gillespie talks up a spell on
Hillbilly (Appalachian) Cuisine with its locally foraged and grown ingredients,
and Jason Pellet of Orpheus Brewing taps
topics in the Southern craft brewers class. To start your Southern culinary
