The food was superb, the offerings sublime, the settings were amazing. The Atlanta Food & Wine Festival 2019 showed why it is the premiere food event in the Southeast.
The festival began Thursday, May, 30 2019 at 6:00 PM. The first event was called ” Stars Atlanta: Coming Together Over Exceptional Food and Wine in the Fight Against Prostate Cancer.”
Atlanta Food & Wine Festival 2019: Review
As with many others, the setup was very attendee-friendly and catered to those visiting the city for this joyous occasion.
The chefs, makers and other talent were all in high spirits as they shared their secrets and culinary expertise with the crowds.
As for me, it was my first Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, so I didn’t know quite what to expect. I found it pleasant, fun and exceptionally planned.
Brunch… is served
There were two notable brunches over the weekend that set the tone: Saturday’s Savor Arkansas and Sunday’s Great Bake Sale.
The Savor Arkansas breakfast shone a spotlight on the culinary excellence of the Razorback state. The vendors not only put on a show of grace and hospitality, but the food was downright outstanding — exactly the kind of royal Southern meal you’d expect.
The Great Bake Sale brunch featured bite-size concepts that catered to the sweet tooth. (S/O to the bread pudding).
Of course, it wouldn’t be an Atlanta Food & Wine Festival event, without free-flowing libations to lighten the atmosphere and couple with sweetened palates.
In Historic Fourth Ward Park is where the festival’s Tasting Tents were located. Thousands of foodies congregated over the three-day weekend to sample and savor the food from the region’s most renown eateries.
To put it in a word, it was simply delicious (OK, two words).
The Atlanta Food & Wine Festival is a well-organized machine that I would recommend times 10!
Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.
Fast-casual is also the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.

Patrons typically order off a menu board like they would at a burger joint, but the convenience of sitting down to leisurely enjoy their food has made the segment a popular one with the restaurant industry.
The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.
