New Julia Child Film and Legendary's Kaleidoscope Menu at Phipps Plaza


We're so excited to be hosting the Julie & Julia Premier this Wednesday at Phipps Plaza. Our Executive Chef Lincoln Stevens appropriately created a Julia Child-inspired menu including Hors d'oeuvres like Vichyssoise and Soup au Pistou and entree selections such as Bouillabaisse de Poulet and Filet de Boeuf Poele. Of course no respectable French feast would be complete without some traditional French sauces, so rest assured, our guests will have plenty of saucy-selections to choose from including creamy Sauce Bechamel and Beurre au Citron. Desserts will be none other than a divine selection of delicate French Pastries. All will be served in our award-winning Kaleidoscope buffet style. If you haven't seen our chefs "perform" their Kaleidoscope Menu, then you're in for a real treat.

If you'd like to check out the movie trailer before the movie's official August 7th release simply click on the link below. This is a Nora Ephron film (writer and directed When Harry Met Sally among many other great films) so it's likely to be a great big hit.

A Legendary Event is Revved Up Over BMW's New "Sports Activity Coupe"


We've been "revved up" for two weeks about the BMW Concept X6 Active Hybrid. Thanks to Los Angeles-based Extraordinary Events, we've been hosting 200 international journalists at Road Atlanta in Braselton. The results are top secret but if we were appraising this efficient, cutting edge vehicle we'd definitely give it four out of four wheels. BMW calls the BMW Concept X6 Active Hybrid "the world's first Sports Activity Coupe." The vehicle is modern, muscular, and sophisticated. Currently it's available in two colors-Melbourne Red and Space Grey. We're semi-certain that we've seen one of Tyler Perry's producers driving around in one of these uber-cool vehicles.
