We Support This: In Atlanta, 20 Chefs Gathering To Celebrate Women In Food
Chefs Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison, co-owners of some of Atlanta's best-regarded restaurants (Bacchanalia, Abattoir) have invited 20 (!!) of the South's most well-known chefs to their hometown to serve dinner at Ponce City Market on Sunday, April 14. The event is a tribute to the South's progressive culinary landscape, with proceeds benefiting the Southern Foodways Alliance — a non-profit institute that documents, studies and celebrates the various food cultures of the changing American South.
Joining Quatrano and Harrison as host of the long-table dinner will be Adam Rapaport, editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit, as well as celebrated poet and Atlanta native Adrienne Su and Atlanta-based singer and activist Doria Roberts. The event also aims to pay tribute to the accomplishments of women farmers and chefs of the South.
