The 3rd Annual Southern Chefs Potluck is just around the corner, and I hope you’re joining us for the premiere event benefiting Wholesome Wave Georgia. The potluck will take place on Sunday, August 5, 3 to 6 p.m. in Serenbe. Guests will dine family style with the chefs and their families on the grounds at the Inn at Serenbe. The line up of participating chefs and restaurants is impressive. Bidders will vie for these packages:
- Cocktail party for 30 friends at my and Steve’s house, featuring tasty bites by Steven Satterfield of Miller Union and exciting libations by Miles Macquarrie of Leon’s Full Service
- Cooking class and dinner for you and 19 of your friends with Season 6 Top Chef finalist Kevin Gillespie of Woodfire Grill at the Bosch Experience Center in Serenbe
- An overnight stay for 14 guests at the Inn at Serenbe, including a private dinner prepared by Restaurant Eugene’s Linton Hopkins and Michel Nischan of Dressing Room (Westport, CT) and a midnight pool party with beverages mixed and served by the Atlanta Bartenders Guild
- Sunday afternoon BBQ for 50 of your closest friends at the Pavilion at the Inn at Serenbe, featuring Jim N’ Nicks Bar-B-Q truck, with beef provided by White Oak Pastures; side dishes from Bacchanalia’s Anne Quatrano, Hugh Atcheson of Empire State South, and me from my restaurant The Farmhouse; and desserts from the Blue Eyed Daisy.
Telephone bids will be accepted. If you are interested in placing a telephone bid, please email me at Marie@Serenbe.com before the day of the event to make arrangements.
All proceeds from the potluck go to Wholesome Wave Georgia. Founded in 2009 by Gina Hopkins and Judith Winfrey, Wholesome Wave Georgia’s mission is to increase access to fresh, healthy, locally grown food at producer-only farmers markets in Georgia. The organization creates financial incentives for low-income shoppers by doubling the value of state and federal nutrition benefits spent at local farmers markets.
