Taste of the Nation Atlanta returns for 25th year

Twenty-five years ago, Buckhead Life Restaurant Group founder Pano Karatassos got a phone call from food writer John Mariani that would eventually make a major difference in the lives of children without ample access to food. On that call, Mariani asked Karatassos to start Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation Atlanta event in an effort to end childhood hunger.

Meyer, the legend behind New York-based Union Square Hospitality Group, whose restaurants and chefs have earned an unprecedented twenty-one James Beard awards, has served on the New York boards of Share Our Strength, City Harvest, and the Madison Square Park Conservancy. He said that he has long admired the Atlanta chapter’s fundraising prowess and felt honored to be asked to serve as its honorary chair.
