Another recommendation would be
the Optimist for incredible seafood, cold
seafood (www.theoptimistrestaurant.
com/atlanta).
My choice for excellent local
steakhouse: Kevin Rathbun. "
(www.kevinrathbunsteak.com).
Debbie McGaw, director of
sales and OCS services at
Five Star Food Service, Atlanta:
" To me, the trade shows are all about
education and networking, so I would
like to make sure we are all spread out.
Everybody is getting a little piece of
something, and we come back
together and collaborate on what
we've learned, who we've met, so
to me, that's the number-one step.
Meet with your team, look over the
lists, look over who's going to be
there, and just have a game plan for
who's going to tackle either vendors
or breakout sessions. "
Debbie's dining suggestions
in Atlanta: " When somebody is
new to Atlanta, I like to bring them
to one of the more fusion-type
restaurants, which we have so many
of. I'm looking for the ones that
are going to have the fried chicken,
fried green tomatoes, pimento
cheese, all that Southern food that
we're used to, and give it a spin or a
flare with other cultures. "
Her favorites: Empire State
South, Rising Son (www.
risingsonavondale.com), Kimball
House (www.kimball-house.com)
and The Consulate (www.
theconsulateatlanta.com).
Debbie has one more
recommendation: " The Beautiful
Restaurant, if you really want to
experience Atlanta Southern style.
(www.beautifulrestaurant-atlanta.
com). It is cafeteria-style, but it is
up there. " ■
