The Punk Foodie project from Sam Flemming covers Atlanta’s independent chef scene with a focus on the city’s growing world of pop-ups, residencies, and chef-driven dining events. In a previous life Flemming worked in marketing and consumer insights in China, and now, through Punk Foodie project, documents how immigrant traditions, first-generation entrepreneurship, and Southern ingredients are merging into a new Southern food identity in Atlanta. A longtime supporter of the city’s pop-up community, he previously operated a stall dedicated to pop-up chefs at Ponce City Market, hosted Punk Foodie food festivals, and through it all has built a database of more than 1,000 pop-up chefs across the city. Flemming also produces short documentary films about independent chefs and food makers, focusing on the stories behind Atlanta’s most creative chefs.
