A guide to Chinese dumplings across Atlanta’s Buford Highway

From the post:

According to most of my Chinese friends, finding good dumplings in Atlanta is harder than scaling the Great Wall. They would rather make them on their own. One friend, though, was more optimistic than the rest. Chef Ken Lim, the owner at Penang Atlanta, has been eating dumplings for thirty years, and he offered to be my guide for the afternoon. Lim first came to Atlanta in 1996 to help his uncle open Penang, and just last year Lim returned to the city to takeover the family business.

Peaches land early on Atlanta restaurant plates

From the post:

Perhaps that means we have global warming to thank for these peaches (or El Niño or whatever other phenomenon that explains the rather unpredictable weather patterns of recent years), but, in any case, they’re here and ready. With a dining scene increasingly centered on local, seasonal ingredients, restaurants have to roll with the changes, too.

Summing Up the 2012 Atlanta Food & Wine Festival
From the post:

This being a young festival, every year is an opportunity for growth: In 2013, I’d love to see one more round of compelling seminar sessions on Saturday, perhaps overlapping with the tasting tent hours to assuage some of the early crowding, and I’d really love to encounter a tasting trail that better glorifies vegetables. But my biggest wish is already granted: This event gives Atlanta the attention as a food town that is absolutely deserves.

Food Chatter: Q&A with new St. Regis chef Joe Trevino
From the post:

The culinary bug hit me later than some of today’s young chefs. At age 21, I entered my first professional kitchen and fell in love with cooking. I discovered a love for the process of transforming raw ingredients into delicious dishes that can artfully be presented to guests, friends, and family.
