Atlanta Creates | Chef Jason Jimenez

Recently Jason was featured on “Atlanta Creates.”  This is a project initiated by Buffy Dekmar Photography to build creative community and share the faces and personalities behind creative businesses in Atlanta. You can read the full story and interview with Jason here. Below is an excerpt capturing the Dekmar's experience at our October  gathering.

This culinary experience is a new (old) concept that brings (back) values and feelings that might otherwise have eluded our generation...Fresh, locally-sourced ingredients range the color spectrum and are expertly combined to create a memorably exquisite meal. Name cards are placed strategically to encourage new connections. Candles and laughter light the room.
