Along with nifty gift ideas and furnishing
orders, buyers and merchandisers in town for the Atlanta International Gift and
Home Furnishings Market at AmericasMart will take home mouthwatering memories
of shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes and other Southern favorites thanks
to Matt Deckard, executive chef of Glenn’s Kitchen in downtown Atlanta. Deckard
leads a Southern Traditions cooking demo on Wednesday,
July 8 from 11 a.m. until noon in the Demonstration Kitchen (Building 2, Floor
8), and he promises those stopping by his demo won’t leave hungry!
Kevin Gillespie often refers to his Georgia
upbringing, affection for rustic dishes with Southern roots and his passion for
pork. On CNN International’s new “Culinary
Journeys” series, the Atlanta-based chef, restaurateur and cookbook
author divulges that an interest in Brazilian churrascaria-style dining led to
his creation of Gunshow
in 2013. Gillespie follows his affection for open-flame grilling to Buenos
Aires, Argentina to explore the asado grilling method, and we can all follow
along when his meat-packed 30-minute episode airs in July. Take a seat and buckle
in for a tantalizing trip, whether you’re an early bird or night owl, and catch
the show Friday, July 3 at 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 4 at 3:30
p.m. and 8:30 p.m.; or Tuesday, July 7 at 5:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. Four options
for those having difficulty separating from their mini, meaty vacation with
Gillespie: move fast and place an order by July 1 for a Terminus City Fourth of
July barbecue pack (terminuscity@gunshowatl.com or 404-380-1886),
make dinner reservations at Gunshow, plan to dine at Revival
-- his newest restaurant opening in Decatur later this summer, or read ”Pure Pork Awesomeness” to bone up on your pork
panache.
Next time they ask “What’s pho dinner?” you’ll be prepared, thanks to our board of Pho-nomenal Dishes. Served hot or chilled, a sweet-spicy Vietnamese noodle bowl could be your summer savior. Exotic? Bun bo xao. Quick? Shortcut pho bo. Veggie? Coconut veggie soup or bok choy-and-cauliflower pho with roasted tofu. Life in the slow lane? Slow-cooker rare beef pho. More noodles? Vietnamese charbroiled pork vermicelli. In Atlanta, you’ll find the ingredients in your supermarket, but a pho-ray into one of the many international markets around town will really entice you to go with the pho.
