Demo + BBQ Pop-up + Book-signing
with Chef Kevin Gillespie
10:00 a.m. on 9/19
Chef demos are sponsored by
Piedmont Hospital
It’s safe to say that the city of Atlanta is proud of our nationally acclaimed chefs. It’s also safe to say that PRFM has a particular love for the ones who live local food, too. So it goes without saying (even though we said it here, here, and here) that PRFM and its shoppers look forward to our annual Kevin Gillespie chef demo. What’s he been up to since last year? Oh, you know, continuing to draw crowds at Gunshow while also opening up new hot-spots Terminus City and Revival.

Join Chef Gillespie this Saturday for a delicious demo, chef pop-up (BBQ will be for sale), and cookbook signing (get started early on your holiday shopping with autographed copies of "Fire in my Belly" and "Pure Pork Awesomeness").

Chef Demo with Jenn Robbins
of Avalon Catering
10:00 a.m. on 9/12
Chef demos are sponsored by
Piedmont Hospital
Chef Jenn Robbins was born and raised in Atlanta where she grew up active and hungry for tasty food! Her culinary interests led her to “the other South” when she enrolled in the Texas Culinary Academy in Austin. Her first professional kitchen work? With none other than Texas legend Kent Rathbun at Jasper’s Austin (y’all might be familiar with our own legendary Rathbun brother, Kevin). Speaking of Kevin…when Jenn moved back home to Atlanta, she joined the kitchen of Kevin Rathbun Steak, where she worked until deciding to follow her foodie passion to the world of catering—with Avalon Catering under Chef Cathy Conway, Jenn develops personalized menus and experiences. And congrats are in order, since her last demo she's also joined the Les Dames d' Escoffier Atlanta Chapter! Jenn’s considerable talents combined with her love of using high quality local ingredients make her one chef to watch—so come on over this Saturday and do just that.

Her professional career began in Birmingham and has taken her from fine dining restaurants to a small French-inspired bakery to Atlanta and her current position at Avalon Catering. Lesley is also the only chef whose demo sample - muscadine tarts - had shoppers bidding to buy the samples!

Healthy Eating Tips - Salsa!
Not only does fresh salsa taste amazing, it's great for you and packed with superfood nutrients. Health benefits of fresh salsa:

• Tomatoes: Rich in the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene.
• Bell peppers: Full of vitamins A and C, folic acid, fiber and potassium
• Red onion: Packed with anti-inflammatory flavonoids like quercetin, which gives these onions their color.
• Hot peppers: Some studies show eating spicy foods can boost metabolism.
• Fresh garlic: Antiviral, antibiotic and heart-healthy.
• Cilantro: Adds tons of flavor for about 1 calorie per 1/4 cup and contains vitamins A, C and K.

Lauren Carey, Market Manager, shares this easy recipe for fresh salsa.
