CHEFS IN THE HOUSE: KEVIN GILLESPIE OF REVIVAL IN ATLANTA
Apr 26 @ 6:30 pm
Half-Mile Farm

KEVIN GILLESPIE OF REVIVAL IN ATLANTA
With Nick Demos, Tryon Distributing
Friday, April 26, 2019
6:30 pm Cocktails | 7:15 pm Dinner

Revival is a nod to Chef Kevin’s formative years, offering a proper version of the traditional Sunday dinner. Following Kevin’s allegiance to Southern cuisine, Revival focuses on farm-fresh ingredients and a dining experience that reflects the traditions his own family follows. The restaurant’s menu is a reinterpretation of what one would find at Gillespie’s grandmother’s house: a classic, Southern spread that features farm-fresh ingredients and also showcases refined culinary techniques.

When guests dine at Revival, they will feel the importance of sitting down and sharing a meal with loved ones – the same traditions that Gillespie’s own family held dear, and that we honor at Half-Mile Farm.

Gillespie was a finalist in the sixth season of Top Chef, Bravo’s cooking competition show and was voted as the “Fan Favorite” contestant for the season.

COST AND DETAILS
Tickets are $155 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
Call 828-787-2635 or 828-787-2620 to reserve your seats.
Check overnight lodging availability (not included in ticket price).
