Tupelo Honey Cafe

The soon-to-come-but-not-soon-enough restaurant out of Asheville will be giving Atlantans a first taste. Munch on Goat Cheese Grits and Shrimp in Red Pepper Sauce (both gluten-free).

Friday Night Kick Off

To kick off the weekend of culinary bliss, Taste of Atlanta is throwing a shindig in Midtown called Culinary Matrimony. Enjoy unique bites, tasty cocktails and live music from Electric Avenue. Each chef will have a partner of their choosing; whether it be a farmer, cheese maker, an artist or even fellow chefs. You’ll definitely want to say ‘I do’ to this!

Throwdown Tent With Mara Davis

Our very own Mara Davis is hosting this year’s Throwdown Tent which pits chefs and restaurants against each other for culinary supremacy. Math ups include: Fried Chicken Face-Off with Chef EJ Hodgkinson of JCT. Kitchen vs. Chef Zachary Marcoux of The Bishop vs. Chef Kojahra Thompson of Max’s Wine Dive, Ron Eyester and Linda Harrell battling in the Meat Brawl and a Taco Takedown with Mi Cocina and Escorpian.

Ice Cream Bar

Craft ice cream with a boozy kick? Oh yes! Indulge in grown-up flavors including Bourbon Butter Pecan, Mojito Sorbet and White Russian.
