August 29, 2008–As Garden & Gun’s Best of the New South issue hit newsstands, the magazine celebrated one of the region’s prize cities with its first portrait party featuring Atlanta. The September/October issue highlights Atlanta’s progressive spirit and traditional charm. On August 21, guests gathered at innovative Atlanta eatery Repast to toast the many gems Atlanta lends to the New South. Guests enjoyed specialties such as foie gras haute dogs, tuna tataki, and bacon wrapped dates while sipping on the restaurant’s signature spirit, the Repastini. Locals featured in the City Portrait such as Susan Bridges and Sid Mashburn mingled with fellow Atlantans and enjoyed the unseasonably cool August evening. Thanks to Atlanta for a great night!
