Two well-known Atlanta chefs are joining forces to imagine -- and cook up -- what their ancestors might have cooked together a thousand years before the birth of Christ.

Todd Ginsberg of The General Muir, who is Jewish, and Meherwan Irani of Chai Pani and Botiwalla, who is Parsi, will cook a six-course, family-style dinner that will combine aspects of their respective culinary cultures.

The two-part meal will focus on the past and present of the two cultures who have translated their food traditions over time in surprisingly similar ways.
