General admission tickets ($50 each) allow access to unlimited food, beer, wine and spirit tastings.

Gas South presents this year’s event at Buckhead’s landmark theatre.
Atlanta’s long and winding roads, a.k.a. Roswell and Peachtree, lead to an evening crammed full with food from top restaurants, open bars, popular Yacht Rock Review playing The Beatles covers, chef bands and a unique silent auction when Eats & Beats infiltrates The Buckhead Theatre on Thursday, August 13. One ticket is all that’s needed to enjoy savories from The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill, Smokebelly BBQ and a host of Atlanta restaurants, cocktails, wine, beer and entertainment. Can’t buy me love, but guests can spring for vacations, chef dinners, art by gorillas and chimpanzees and other silent auction items because event proceeds benefit Children of Conservation and The Giving Kitchen. Purchase tickets for the 7-10 p.m. event in advance for $75 each ($85 at door). VIP ticket ($150) adds privileges.
Aria guests know how smoothly Buckhead restaurant general manager and wine director Andres Loaiza covers Aria’s chic interior. Wait until he hits a real dance floor. Loaiza is one of the Atlanta celebrities partnering with professional dancers and choreographers to dance the night away and compete for fan votes at the Eating Disorders Information Network (EDIN) 5th annual Celebrity Dance Challenge in the Buckhead Theatre on Thursday, February 26 from 8-11 p.m. The competition takes cues from the hit shows “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing with the Stars.” Anyone can visit the EDIN website to vote for their favorite dancers for a mere $1 per vote. All proceeds benefit EDIN and its mission to increase education and awareness of disordered eating and body image issues in the Atlanta area. Tickets start at $25 and twirl on up to $1,250 for a 10-guest table. Buy tickets online. We’re expecting a cha cha-champion event, barre none.
