This week at PRFM…
Demo with Kevin Ryan
of Local Three
10:00 a.m. on 6/1
Chef Demos are sponsored by
COUNTRY Financial
By now, you must know how we feel about Local Three. If you’ll pardon the pun, that goes double for the bar program there. Mixologist Kevin Ryan is so good that folks trust him to come up with a drink based on what they like or how they’re feeling. But that’s not to say that the carefully crafted beverage menu isn’t also worth considering—it features more than 40 bourbons, 100 beers, and 100 wines, plus a cocktail list that frequently changes based on the season’s freshest ingredients. Don’t be shy—drop by the demo tent this Saturday to gather a few drink tips from Local Three’s “Beverage Dude,” aka "Medicine Man." We’re pretty sure he’s got a refreshing cure for whatever ails you.
Skin Cancer Screenings
8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Chef Demo with Adam Waller

It’s not just about the burger, y’all. Ok, the Bocado burger is spectacular. But the Westside favorite now helmed by chef Adam Waller also offers smart cocktails and a creative lunch and dinner menu that rotates seasonally (love that). Chef Adam is no stranger to highlighting the delicious and fresh—he came to Bocado from sister restaurant STG Trattoria and from Sotto Sotto before that. Check out the demo tent this Saturday, where Adam will show you how best to celebrate market ingredients—and maybe he’ll even throw a burger tip or trick your way, just in time for cookout season.

This week at PRFM…
Chef Demo with Zeb Stevenson
of Livingston & Proof and Provision
10:00 a.m. on 5/18
Chef Demos are sponsored by
COUNTRY Financial
Last year we told you all about Chef Zeb Stevenson’s creative cooking at the Georgian Terrace’s restaurants, Livingston and Proof and Provision. While word on the street is that he’s leaving the restaurants soon to pursue other “irons in the fire,” we’re sure his legacy of combining local ingredients with contemporary American and international influences will continue on at the midtown hotspots. Until we see Zeb in his next restaurant, we know we can spot him at PRFM each week where he buys his veggies as well as whole animals and wheels of cheese (you can always spot a chef at market); and he’ll keep his creative juices flowing as a musician, painter, coffee roaster, and cyclist. So be sure to stop by the demo tent this Saturday to ask him about any and all of that, and maybe see if there are tickets left for his “Last Supper” this Sunday.
Canning with Martha
8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Welcome back our canning expert Martha McMillin—she’ll be on hand all morning to share tasty spring canning recipes and answer all of your questions about home canning—yes, you (can) CAN!
Kids’ Corner – May 18 and 25

Mother’s Day weekend is coming. Don’t worry, PRFM has got you covered. Pick up some flowers and jewelry plus all the fixings for a super-impressive brunch that any lady is sure to love—almost as much as she loves you (aww).
Chef Demo with Chris Hall
of Local Three

Speaking of love…we love Chef Chris Hall. There, we said it (again). We can’t get enough of his cooking, which, with Local Three’s mantra, “People Matter Most, Local Is Priority, Seasonal Makes Sense, Authenticity Rules, Quality Governs, Delicious Trumps, Pretense Stinks, Comfort Feels Good, Appreciation Tastes Better, Prudence Sustains It All” is guaranteed to please. We’re sure this awesome motto has inspired Chris and partners Todd Mussman and Ryan Turner’s newest ventures, too: planning Common Quarter restaurant for East Cobb and working as consulting partners for Staplehouse. Chris is good people, y’all—don’t miss hanging with him this Saturday!
Reminder: TONIGHT!
Monday, May 6
From 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. the Virginia-Highlands YEAH! Burger will donate 10% of all proceeds to support PRFM! Burger + shake + doing good for your local market = Monday made.

Chef Demo with Craig Richards
of Ecco
10:00 a.m. on 5/4
Chef Demos are sponsored by
COUNTRY Financial
Chef Craig Richards wowed us at La Tavola Trattoria (he had us at Tomatofest) and continues to charm as executive chef of Ecco (fried goat cheese, honey, and black pepper, anyone?). And it’s no wonder others love him, too—with a culinary pedigree that began with Pachamama’s in Kansas, then training with the “first lady of Italian cuisine,” Lidia Bastianich, and working as executive chef at Lidia’s in Pittsburgh, Richards knows how to deliver fresh, crave-worthy dishes. That’s why we’re oh-so-glad his path led him to Atlanta and Fifth Group Restaurants. Also a devoted cookbook collector, you won’t want to miss Richards’ talents and tips this Saturday when he grills up the perfect spring salad!
A reason to say YEAH! on Monday…
