Chef Demo with Todd Richards
of The Shed at Glenwood

10:00 a.m. on 9/29
Chef Demos are sponsored by
Whole Foods Market

They don’t let just anyone cook chicken and waffles with Al Roker on Today. And Chef Todd Richards isn’t just anyone—he’s the real deal, y’all. We’re so glad he returned to the A in 2008, after wowing Louisville as chef de cuisine at the Seelbach Hilton’s Oakroom (Kentucky’s only AAA Five-Diamond restaurant). Back in Atlanta, he’s helped bring us One Flew South, Rolling Bones BBQ, and some mighty fine dining at The Ritz-Carlton (downtown and Buckhead). Named one of “Four New Chefs to Watch in 2012” by Esquire, you can now find Chef Richards creating perfectly balanced bistro-inspired dishes in the kitchen of The Shed at Glenwood. PRFM is proud of his commitment to using naturally raised or grown ingredients and we’re in awe of his culinary talent (he’s also thrown down on Iron Chef America, after all)—so excited to welcome him to our demo tent this Saturday for some full-on fall flavors!
