National favorite, local address


This week at PRFM...

What better way to spend a summer Saturday morning than at the farmers market: Chef Demo at 10:00 a.m. with Peter Dale of The National (one of Hugh Acheson's acclaimed Athens restaurants)—we've raved about him in the past, and so has Food & Wine magazine, naming Dale "The People’s Best New Chef Southeast" for 2012. Also, Chef Demo sponsor Country Financial will be on hand with free market tote bags, and we'll all relax to the sounds of live music and market shopping. Saturday made.
