Food Rave

From the AJC online…

Rave to mix food, fun, charity

When Tony Rouse was coming up with an idea for a local food rave, he had three things in mind: a foodie event like the one in the movie “Hitch,” an affordable, fun evening that would appeal to a wide age group, and charity.

 “I thought, why not do something for someone else while we’re having a good time,” Rouse said.

On Friday evening, five Atlanta chefs will bring their culinary talents to the Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery for the first Atlanta Food Rave. The event will feature chefs at different food stations preparing samples from a menu that won’t be revealed until the night of the event. Rouse has added an interactive component that allows guests to vote for their favorite dish. There will also be music and free signature cocktails.

Featured chefs include Alex Friedman of P’Cheen International Bistro & Pub; Delroy Bowen, executive chef at the Georgia International Convention Center; Keira Moritz of Pacci Ristorante; Lance Gummere of the Shed at Glenwood; and LaToya Starks, a personal chef.

Tickets are $55 per person, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Atlanta Community Food Bank. For more details or to buy tickets, go to www.atlantafoodrave.com or call 404-856-0157. No tickets will be sold at the door.
