What Restaurateurs Would You Roast? Or Toast?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
PLEASE NOTE: David Abes, director of operations for Here to Serve Restaurants, let me know that H2S proudly employs chef Peter Kaiser, not Buckhead Life, as I mention below. Thanks to David, and my apologies to Peter.

On November 17 the Atlanta Community Food Bank will host a first-ever roast-and-toast of four key Atlanta restaurateurs: Pano Karatassos (founder of Buckhead Life restaurant group), Bob Amick (founder of Concentrics Hospitality), Tom Catherall (founder of Here to Serve restaurants) and George McKerrow, Jr. (founder of LongHorn Steakhouse and co-founder of Ted’s Montana Grill).
The event begins at 6 p.m. at the Food Bank’s 732 Joseph E. Lowery Blvd., N.W. address, where the warehouse space will be transformed for the evening into a “red carpet environment.” The three-course meal and dessert reception will be cooked by Buckhead Life chef Peter Kaiser, Rathbun’s Kevin Rathbun, Aria’s Gerry Klaskala and Concentric’s Jonathan St. Hilaire. The evening is hostessed by Atlanta magazine restaurant critic Christiane Lauterbach and former CNN reporter Carolyn O’Neil.
Tickets for “4 Legends of Atlanta Hospitality Roast” are $500 per person. Visit here or call 678-538-9000 for more info.
