Chef Demo with Ron Eyester
of Rosebud – 10:00 a.m. on 6/23

Chef Demos are sponsored by
Whole Foods Market

Before you enjoy all that delicious, delicious ice cream, don’t forget to stop by the chef demo and lay down a layer of the savory stuff. Hint: it is also delicious, courtesy of Chef Ron Eyester. Last year, we loved 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 cooking at the James Beard house recently or about his upcoming Allman Brothers-inspired “Eat a Peach” dinner. Or maybe ask about brunch for supper. Just don’t you worry—“The Angry Chef” is really one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.

Chef Demo with Jason Paolini
of Restaurant Eugene

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.

Sweet Auburn Bakery Book-signing
Join Sweet Auburn Bakery’s Chef Sonya Jones as she signs Sweet Auburn Desserts: Atlanta’s “Little Bakery That Could” this Saturday. Sweet Auburn’s southern desserts have been making Atlanta proud for 14 years—just one bite of their sweet potato cheesecake will convince you of why! Chef Sonya’s new cookbook will be for sale during the Market and she’ll be signing all morning. Holiday shopping? Just got a little easier, y’all.

New cheese at
Greendale Farm
Stop by the Greendale Farm tent this Saturday to check out a new cheese for your plate! Duet is a raw goat and cow cheese featured exclusively at Peachtree Road Farmers Market until it runs out. Exceptionally creamy, fresh and mild, this cheese will go perfectly with your favorite gewürztraminer or pinot noir. Say, aren’t those also perfect pairings for Thanksgiving?
