This week at PRFM
Chef Demo with Steven Satterfield
of Miller Union — 10:00 a.m. on 10/8Chef Demos are sponsored by
Whole Foods MarketIf you care about the local food movement in Atlanta, you care deeply about Miller Union. There, Executive Chef and Co-Owner Steven Satterfield brings his 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry to bear in a meaningfully delicious way, with a menu that takes root from his strong relationships with local farmers. A Georgia native who spent his childhood in Savannah, Satterfield creates his dishes around the week’s Southern harvest; he is careful to prepare foods with rustic preparations that highlight those beautiful flavors that come from ingredients at their peak. His eye for design led him to the architecture program at Georgia Tech, with a final year studying abroad in Paris, but after graduation he found himself working in kitchens and discovered a new passion: cooking. As any diner who’s visited Chef Satterfield during his time at Floataway Café, Watershed, and now at Miller Union can attest, his cooking is a true art form. Satterfield’s commitment to the good food movement goes beyond the diner’s experience, though; he’s also an active member of Slow Food Atlanta, Georgia Organics and the Southern Foodways Alliance. And his great work has not gone unnoticed—in 2011, he was nominated for
Food & Wine and
CNN Eatocracy’s
“People’s Best New Chef,” following Miller Union’s placement on the “Best New Restaurants in America” lists from
Bon Appetit and
Esquire, as well as its being named
Atlanta magazine’s “Restaurant of the Year” in 2010. Also, a little group called the James Beard Foundation recognized Miller Union as a semifinalist for the national award of best new restaurant in 2010. When the celebrated chef isn’t in the kitchen, he’s cycling, exploring the Georgia coast, listening to new music, and researching cocktails with the bartenders of Miller Union. Oh, and one other thing—teaching people to cook (that’s YOU this Saturday)!

Ever wonder where the leftovers go after Saturday’s Peachtree Road Farmers Market? Don’t worry, none of those delicious market-fresh foods go to waste—each week, PRFM partners with Second Helpings to share the bounty of our farmers’ harvest. During our two year partnership, PRFM farmers and vendors have donated over 2,000 lbs of food to food pantries and shelters in metro Atlanta.
PRFM’s work with Second Helpings is the perfect complement to our partnership with the Wholesome Wave Program, which doubles EBT/SNAP (food stamp) and WIC benefits at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. Making healthy local food accessible to all is part of PRFM’s mission and we are proud to see Second Helpings grow! With the addition of its first refrigerated truck, Second Helpings Atlanta greatly expands its perishable food pick up and distribution capabilities. Second Helpings volunteers deliver donated food every day of the week to food pantries and shelters in downtown Atlanta and the northern suburbs.
