Chef Kevin Gillespie always has new ideas up his sleeve (in addition to his famously colorful tats). Gillespie, of Gunshow, Revival, Communion Cantina, Terminus City and Gamechanger, opening soon at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, leads the 10 a.m. chef demo at the Saturday, May 13 Peachtree Road Farmers Market. His culinary excitement will set mouths watering for more cooking tips to go. No ‘cue quandary here. Buy one of his cookbooks that morning and snag a signature and maybe a splash of barbecue sauce to mark the page. Shop from 8:30 a.m.-noon and enjoy live music by Bailey Diamond.
The Peachtree Road Farmers Market Holiday Artist Market on Nov. 26 further tips the scales toward shopping small and local. Thirty local artists will add their wares to the healthy array offered by steadfast farmers and food producers at the state’s largest producer-only farmers market. Grab your shopping bags and scour the market for deliciously unique and appreciated holiday gifts. Need a Christmas card photo? Tote the camera or smartphone to snap photos with Santa Kevin Gillespie and his elves. Good thing he’s not doling out barbecue and sauce or you would both have red beards.
How about some squeal with that squash or a pound or two of ‘cue to accompany the cukes? “Sow” be it, thanks to Terminus City pop-ups at two local farmers markets this week. Bag a pound or two of Terminus City chopped pork barbecue ($16/pound) or grab a meaty barbecue sandwich ($6) to stave off hunger pangs while shopping for freshly harvested veggies and fruits at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market on Wednesday, September 28 (4:30-8 p.m.) and at the Freedom Farmers Market on Saturday, October 1 (9 a.m.-1 p.m.). Chef Kevin Gillespie’s barbecue is pure pork awesomeness at its tastiest!
Revival executive chef Andreas Müller communes with locally grown produce and those who seek its garden goodness when he demos at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market on Saturday, July 16. Müller’s soul-filled Revival menus pull from Southern plow to plate so he’s a natural for this teaching stint. Saturday hours for the market at The Cathedral of St. Philip are 8:30 a.m.- noon. Needless to say, early birds catch the best selections at the state’s largest producer-only farmers market.
Satisfy your midweek veggie fix at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market and grab some mouthwatering pork barbecue amid the cukes, beans and tomatoes. Terminus City, the smokin’ good barbecue arm of chef Kevin Gillespie’s Red Beard Restaurants family (Gunshow, Revival), pops up for dinner at the Wednesday, June 29 market at The Cathedral of St. Philip. Addicting pork barbecue sandwiches, $6 each, stave off suppertime hunger pangs so you can shop the market without listening to a growling stomach. Beers from Three Taverns Brewery will be available to wash down the ‘cue. Think forward toward Thursday’s dinner and purchase barbecue to go, priced at $16 a pound. Awesome solo, sauced on a bun or scooped on a salad. Sooey! Wednesday night market hours are 4:30-8 p.m.
Slow Food Atlanta’s 10th annual Ice Cream Social transforms Child Hall at The Cathedral of St. Philip into one giant ice cream parlor on Saturday, June 11 between the hours of 12:30-2:30 p.m. Grab your special spoon and prepare to sample the plethora of traditional and creatively flavored homespun ice creams and sorbets that renowned local chefs and ambitious amateurs will crank out for the big chill. House-made ice cream and sorbets are staples on the dessert menu at Seed Kitchen & Bar in Marietta. No telling what Seed owner/chef Doug Turbush will dish out, but it’s guaranteed to be melt-in-your-mouth delish. Scooping up tickets in advance is a must-do for this cream-of-the-crop fundraiser: $15 per adult, $5 per child (plus small service fee). Event proceeds support the work of Slow Food Atlanta and Peachtree Road Farmers Market.
No worries about how to squeeze in shopping for fresh veggies and grabbing something more substantial for evening chow call. Chef Kevin Gillespie’s Terminus City BBQ is popping up at the midweek Peachtree Road Farmers Marketon Wednesday night, May 11. Shift your market basket to the non-dominant hand to finagle a strong grasp on TC’s chopped whole hog BBQ sandwiches ($6). The big dilemma is how to wipe the awesome sauce off your chin. That’s what friends are for...stagger those bites. The midweek Peachtree Road Farmers Market rambles at The Cathedral of St. Philip in Buckhead from 4:30-8 p.m.
Black Friday, whirl through the shopping centers. Save Saturday for Georgia-centered shopping at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. Bag some cool weather produce for a veggie plate dinner and find local loot such as products and handcrafted items that place Georgia on gift recipients’ minds this holiday season. Open Saturdays from 9 a.m.-12 noon through December 19. Remember to buy some Terminus City barbecue at the market this Saturday!
The bird will be history by Saturday. Still, an attitude of gratitude prevails because Santa Kevin Gillespie and his cohorts, elf-chefs Andreas Müller and Joey Ward, are bringing a load of Terminus City barbecue to the Peachtree Road Farmers Market on Saturday morning, November 28. Smokey chopped pork, saucy and peppery, conquers post-turkey cravings whether inhaled in a hefty barbecue sandwich ($6) or packed by the pound ($16) to take home. Touch down to watch your favorite college pigskin rivalry later that day with a few pounds of Terminus City ‘cue in hand, and you’ll surely win MVP with the home team.
White Oak Pastures (WOP), the Bluffton, Georgia farm known for its closed-loop farming practices and zero-waste protocol, has developed a line of pet food and chews reflecting ancestral feeding habits of the pre-kibble era. To put it less delicately, the farm is turning animal blood, bones and eviscerate into pet chews and raw poultry grinds for dogs (coming soon for cats). Rawhide chews, tracheas, cow pizzles, marrow bones and rabbit feet are popular items. With support from The Whole Dog Market, WOP has recently introduced three varieties of raw meat blend, preservative-free pet supplements made from its pastured guinea fowl, duck and chicken. As with all of WOP’s products, pet chews and raw meat blends are made on premises and meet human food standards, including being Certified Humane, Certified Grassfed and Animal Welfare Approved. Purchase these pet products at the farm’s Bluffton store and online store, at Doguroo and The Whole Dog Market locations and at the East Atlanta Village and Peachtree Road farmers markets (chews only).
Kevin Gillespie of Glenwood Park sensation Gunshow
and new Revival
in Decatur hopes his pop-up chef demo at the Peachtree
Road Farmers Market this Saturday, September 19 will help Meals On Wheels provide more farm-fresh produce
and healthy meals to Atlanta seniors in need. Shoppers will be able to donate
to Meals on Wheels Atlanta when they stop by the demo tent to watch the
red-bearded, big-hearted chef transform market produce into delicious dishes
like spicy sausage and kale soup. Donations offset the cost of vegetables
provided to Meals on Wheels Atlanta. In the mood for something smokey?
Terminus City chopped whole hog BBQ sandwiches are for sale to satisfy your
'cue craving. When he’s not chopping or mixing, Gillespie will set down
knives and pull out pens to sign copies of his hog-wild cookbooks “Pure Pork Awesomeness” and "Fire in my Belly."
Shop the largest producer-only market in Atlanta, held at The
Cathedral of St. Philip, from 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
Dash into Willy’s Mexicana Grill wearing the Peachtree
Road Race shirt of the day -- July 4, 2015 -- or proudly don your well-earned
vintage model and bag a burrito for $5. On Saturday, July 4, those wearing a
prized Peachtree T-shirt from any race year can walk the burrito wrap line at any
Willy’s (excluding airport location) and refuel on fillings such as Sinaloa or
adobe chicken, cilantro-garlic steak, chipotle pork, Sinaloa tofu, Monterey
Jack cheese, veggies, corn salsa, pico de gallo, beans, rice and Southwest
coleslaw. Hydrate with your beverage of choice (additional charge) including
homemade flavored lemonades, iced tea, bottled drinks, FIJI Water or a
celebratory beer (plus margaritas at some locations). Stiff competition for the
post-race bottled water and banana combo.
They’re serious. Polish up your “sundae best” spoon and buy tickets to Slow Food Atlanta’s ninth annual Ice Cream Social-- the place to gather all the scoop on Saturday, June 20. When the Peachtree Road Farmers Market ends at noon, Atlanta’s professional chefs and ardent amateurs will start divvying out tastes of their homespun, “Cream of the Crop” recipes at The Cathedral of St. Philip (rain backup, the Cathedral’s Child Hall). Appropriately, one category of flavors is designated “Produce,” reserved strictly for frozen concoctions bursting with goodies from the garden. Squash sorbet, maybe, but doubtful there’s a local cotton candy explosion orchard. Be sure to dig your spoon into samples from Seed Kitchen & Bar and Stem Wine Bar. Tickets cover a taste of each ice cream and a ballot to vote for your top-rated treats. Buy tickets online before they sell out: $15 adults, $5 children ages 5-10 years (plus small service fee); free for tykes under 5 years. Shop the market beforehand to be there when the noon-2 p.m. social opens. The event benefits the Atlanta chapter of Slow Food International and the Peachtree Road Farmers Market.
Gunshow executive chef Joey Ward mans the 10 a.m. cooking demo at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market on Saturday, May 2. This talented chef views cooking as a form of art inspired and elevated by locally sourced ingredients and framed by his treasured relationships with local farmers. Hate to nag, but remember to bring your own shopping bag to hold all of those fabulously fresh purchases so they’ll make it home unscathed and ready to go into some chef demo recipes from the market website. Market hours are 8:30 a.m.-noon, rain or shine. Photo credit: Andrew Thomas Lee.
The Peachtree Road Farmers Market will hold its second annual Sunday Supper at the Cathedral of St. Philips at 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 22.

Make your bid at the live and silent auctions and dance to the sounds of Sailing to Denver. Purchase tickets at the market or online (you will need to create a login) for $70. Proceeds benefit the Wholesome Wave Georgia program and their city-required police officer.

It takes a little more than produce and local wares to host a successful farmers market. One of those requirements? A police presence. To foot the cost of this requirement, Peachtree Road Farmers Market is hosting a Market Mash-Up on Saturday, October 5 from 9 a.m.-noon. Four chefs, including Bantam + Biddy and Chick-a-Biddy's own Shaun Doty, will have 200 market dollars to create a dish that shows off the season and market ingredients. Ticket holders choose the Mash-Up Ruler during a 9:45 -10:45 a.m. tasting and can shop at the silent auction. All proceeds go toward cop coverage. $10 per ticket and only 200 tickets are available.
