If you know (and love) how Chef Linton Hopkins’ Restaurant Eugene is an integral part of Atlanta’s farm-to-table movement, you know just how much care goes into the food and experience there. And you also know that there are good folks behind that good food and fun. Whether you’re in the know or just finding out, you’ll want to spend some time with Executive Sous Chef of both Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch Public House, Jason Paolini. Like Chef Hopkins, Jason’s respect for the art and craft of American cuisine developed early in life, growing up hunting and fishing in Belle Chasse, Louisiana—from then on, he’s known the importance of fresh, quality ingredients. Jason’s wowed folks with his delicious preparations from getting his start in New Orleans’ famed Palace Café to his time working with Gary Mennie at Canoe and Taurus to his stint as opening sous chef at Craft Bar Atlanta. He found his culinary home with Chef Hopkins in 2009, when he became sous chef for Holeman & Finch Public House. Since then, he’s been promoted to Executive Sous Chef there and at Restaurant Eugene, where he and Chef Hopkins create some of this city’s finest American cuisine. You won't want to miss his demo this Saturday, with kid-friendly foods that'll wow 'em!
