Spotlight: Atlanta Food & Wine Festival 2019

Well, folks… it’s that time of year again. We’re inching closer to summer temperatures and yet another Atlanta Food & Wine Festival. This festival is packed with opportunities to learn from chefs throughout the region and country, experience incredible dinners, and see/meet friends old and new. This year’s theme is Off the Eaten Path — the under-told and lesser-known stories of the south — and especially the culinary south. 

So, I caught up with a few folks you may know right here in Atlanta and all a part of this year’s advisory council — Meherwan Irani of Chai Pani Restaurant Group, Melissa Davis of Revelator and Hazael Janes, Jen Yee of Resurgens Hospitality Group, and finally the founder of AFWF — Elizabeth Feichter. I wanted to get their thoughts on this year’s festival, what they are looking forward to, and what to look for.
