  • Where To Eat And What To Do On Easter In Atlanta - Osteria Mattone's 5-Year Anniversary In Roswell

    Don’t Miss: Osteria Mattone’s 5-Year Anniversary Menu In Roswell

    2 Min Read

    It’s a special time for Osteria Mattone, the venerable Roswell restaurant popular with the north Atlanta set.

    Executive chef Eric Sell and the Osteria Mattone staff have set up a special Anniversary Menu in honor of the restaurant’s fifth birthday!

    The fare will feature some of Osteria’s “greatest hits” over the years for new and old customers alike. The special menu will be available alongside the regular dinner menu from NOV-11 to NOV-15 (five nights for five years!)!

    Patrons can expect the following delicious dishes: Bucatini All’Amatriciana (guanciale, Calabrian chili, pecorino), Lasagna Bolognese (pappardelle, mozzarella, traditional ragu), Tagliolini Di Mare (the original! lobster, crab, shrimp, seafood brood, tomoato, garlic) and more.

    More favorites will be on hand like the Doppio Agnolotti (handmade ravioli stuffed with duck confit and sweet potato, brown butter-sage jus), and the Bomboloni (sweetened fried dough, vanilla custard and warm chocolate dipping sauce).

    Make a reservation at osteriamattone.com or walk-in this week.

    When it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.

    Fast-casual is 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.

    Pitch Queens Presents: Million Dollar Pitch Masterclass LIVE from ATL

    4 Min Read

    Have you been trying to launch your dream but so far only gotten *crickets*? Does “life” keep getting in your way, delaying you from achieving your biggest goals? I am going to teach you the secret to exponentially increasing your influence, income, and impact.

    This is THE #1 SECRET that has helped me overcome huge obstacles (drama, debt, divorce, deaths in my family, you name it!) and achieve many of my biggest life goals. This secret explains:

    • how I got 2-Time Oscar-winner Jane Fonda to be my personal mentor;
    • how I won the opportunity to give a TED talk;
    • how I got TWO BILLIONAIRES to make an offer to invest in my company;
    • how I got myself and my entire immediate family(!) accepted into Harvard University;
    • how I got executives from dozens of Fortune 100 companies to work with me;
    • how I went from having “just an idea” to being invited to join the CEO Council (an exclusive club for entrepreneurs with $1 million or more in revenues/investment) – in just 12 months!

    *Spoiler Alert*: My Secret Weapon (my superpower) is MY PITCH.

    REGISTER HERE

    What is a Pitch? Put simply, a pitch is a brief exchange with an influencer that gives you access to a larger stage.

    It doesn’t matter what goal you’re trying to achieve or what impact you’d like to have – nothing will change in your life until you develop a powerful pitch that can influence the right people so you can share your billiance on a larger platform.

    Communicating + connecting + influencing people to take ACTION = the ART of the PITCH. And it’s a skill set that every true Queen must master.

    Because the truth of the matter is this: Queens don’t spam (to spam is to share your message randomly with people who are not open to receiving it). Queens are not sitting at home wishing they could get someone’s attention.

    When Queens speak, people listen, care, and take action. How would your life be different if you learned to communicate in a way that got people to listen, care, and take action? This is the power of a masterful pitch.

    If you’re tired of talking about what you want to do and ready to become an influencer who is changing the world and cashing checks, you’ve got to learn how to PITCH LIKE A QUEEN.

    If you want 2019 to be different than last year (and the year before), you’ve got to level up your skills. And the most important skill you can master is THE ART OF THE PITCH. So Join Us in This Masterclass!

    This Masterclass is For You If:

    • You’re ready to start/grow your business
    • You want to launch a non-profit that can change people’s lives
    • You’re ready to get organized, center your energy, and stop feeling “all over the place”
    • You have a message or movement that you want to birth into the world
    • You’re seeking to advance your career and expand your influence
    • You want to build your personal brand and share your ideas with a larger audience
    • You want to attract investors and partners to join you in your vision
    • You want to overcome fear, be more confident, and start living those dreams you’ve imagined in your head for so long!

    You’ll Leave this 120-Minute Interactive Masterclass Knowing Exactly:

    • How to be FASCINATING (not factual!) when you’re giving a pitch, speech, presentation, or meeting someone new
    • How to TRANSFER YOUR INSPIRATION to everyone you talk to so that they engage with your message emotionally and become your ambassadors
    • WHAT TO SAY in front of ANY influential person or audience, to get them to remember you, connect with you, and take action! (You’ll never be afraid of not knowing what to say again!)
    • How to PRESENT YOURSELF to potential partners or investors (including the exact slides to use!)
    • How to TRANSFORM your business, increase your income and impact, and start living the life of your dreams in the next 90 days!
