Chef Demo with Brent Banda
of La Tavola – 10:00 a.m. on 6/29

COUNTRY Financial
There’s no time like tomato season to welcome a chef with Italian skills—like La Tavola’s Brent Banda, maybe. Before joining the Fifth Group Restaurants team in 2004, Banda honed his skills at some of NYC’s best joints (Maialino, Esca, and Hearth). We’re glad his talents are back home in Atlanta, where he can share his fresh, seasonal dishes (and a few tips and tricks, too)—be sure to ask him about La Tavola’s annual Tomatofeast, and find out why the red fruit is nicknamed the “apple of love.”

Chef Demo with E.J. Hodgkinson
of JCT. Kitchen & Bar

Check out our chef demo this Saturday for one of Atlanta’s hot chef “young guns,” so you can say you followed his rise to fame from the beginning. Hyperbole? Nope, the hype is true, y’all. You’ll remember E.J. from his time at Woodfire Grill, but before that he crisscrossed the country perfecting his skills at luxury resorts, cafés, and the Texas Culinary Academy, Le Cordon Bleu. And even before that, his love for all things local started at the kitchen table with his mother and grandmother’s meals made from their own garden ingredients. Plus (and it is a plus), he’s from California, where fresh food is a way of life. We’re glad he’s brought that way of life, and the good hype that goes with it, to Atlanta. Don’t miss chatting with him this weekend—he’s one to watch—and maybe visit him on Sunday, too, at our Sunday Supper! (photo by Richie Arpino)

Chef Demo with Jeb Aldrich
of 4th & Swift – 10:00 a.m. on 6/15

Like father, like son? If we're talking about two of our city's best chef talents...then, yes. Not only is Jeb Aldrich the chef de cuisine at 4th & Swift, he happens to be the son of its executive chef and owner Jay Swift. And though cooking might be in the blood, Jeb's also got proven sweat (we can't speak to the tears) in the game: classically trained at Johnson & Wales, stints at Charleston’s Peninsula Grill, Atlanta’s Rainwater, Canoe, and much-lauded Joël, and work in Austria and Italy, to be exact. Four years ago he joined his dad at 4th & Swift to create seasonal menus from the highest quality ingredients. Stop by the demo tent this Saturday to enjoy chef Jeb's recipe featuring chicken in honor of Pastured Poultry Week! It’ll be almost like sitting on 4th & Swift’s new patio, only with a few more friends and farmers around. (photo by Our Labor of Love)

Chef Demo with Ron Eyester

Before you enjoy all that delicious, delicious ice cream, don’t forget to stop by the chef demo tent and lay down a layer of the savory stuff. Hint: it is also delicious, courtesy of Ron Eyester. We love Chef Ron’s unique take on what it means to eat local, and we know from experience that he makes preparing the season’s best a whole lot of fun. Ask him about his new restaurants in the works—a pizza joint for Morningside and a diner for Atlantic Station. Or maybe ask about Rosebud’s new weekday brunch menu. Just don’t you worry—“The Angry Chef” is really one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.
