BBQ, The Optimist and Buttermilk Kitchen, will also be onsite to serve up delicious bites.

“I think people will be hard pressed to find more culinary variety in one place,” said Chef and Restaurateur Ron Eyester of Rosebud, The Family Dog, Timone’s and his latest concept, Diner. “With every signature taste, the festival showcases just how diverse and progressive our city’s dining scene really is. I welcome any opportunity to support my fellow chefs and our local food landscape, and that is exactly what Taste of Atlanta brings to the table!”

For more than a decade, Taste of Atlanta has featured hundreds of the city’s finest restaurants, celebrated Atlanta’s top-notch chefs and transformed tasters into diners. Now in its 13^th year, the legendary three-day food festival continues to stimulate the local dining scene and further establishes Atlanta as the Food Capital of the South.
