Artists & Critics: Food & Cuisine
Panel discussion with renowned chef, food writer and restaurant/food critic

The traditions and techniques of preparing, presenting, tasting and sharing food are an important part of our collective identity.  Food has inspired brilliant artistry as well as political battles, economic empires and disputes over taste.

To launch the Artists & Critics series, please join us in welcoming Chef Scott Peacock (Watershed Restaurant in Decatur), food author Jeffrey Steingarten (Vogue, Slate, Iron Chef America) and dining critic Christiane Lauterbach (Atlanta magazine, Knife and Fork) for a lively panel discussion to discuss their crafts and the way they see themselves in relation to their fellow panelists and various public constituencies.
