There is a long list of the restaurants who will be participating and, if I recall correctly, it is a stellar cast of performers, so to speak!

I had to stop reading the list when I got to Alluviah at the Cheetah. As soon as I've stopped laughing I'll check out the rest.

We went to this a couple of years ago and it was great. I'm out of town this year, so somebody else will have to eat my share.

well don't underestimate Alluvia - i still maintain Cheetah has the best wings in Atlanta. haven't eaten anythign elsee there, but did manage to take part in a buffet once. all the food was pretty decent, but the wings were stellar.

Hooters, the Cheetah...you do get around, don't you, tryska ?

[Gifted Gourmet]

Okay, okay, ladies, there are many excellent restaurants on this list for Taste of the Nation ....

anyone just looking at this would think we Atlantans have only the basest of plebian tastes!!!

There are some terrific people cooking for this!

They have even better legs and breasts.

Aaaargh! Beat me to it!

Seriously, what's this about? Are we talking food tastings, a full meal, or what?

Also looks pretty dominated by the Buckhead Dining Group.

Buckhead Life there in force, bu also plenty of other upmarket establishments.

The year we went it was tastings, and you went around and visited the various booths. Lots of booths had more than one item, and nobody minded if you took more than one taste.

A huge amount of very nice food. At a certain point you just have to decide to stop eating.

Wine tastings were also included, and again there was no limit. Open bar that year as well. Altogether excessive.

The silent auction was great.

Thanks for this up-close-and-personal view of the evening, therese!

For those who relish the idea of small, varied, interesting tastes, this appears to be ideal!
