ATL INDUSTREE'S  “HAIL TO THE V” CELEBRATES THE WOMEN 
OF ATLANTA’S RESTAURANT SCENE

Cocktails and Conversations at August 10 Event Benefitting The Farmer Fund

ATLANTA (July 29, 2015) — What are the unique issues and challenges facing women in Atlanta’s restaurant industry? Find out what drives the female servers, staffers, chefs and owners of the city's thriving culinary community during “Hail to the V,” an afternoon of networking and conversation about the trials and triumphs of women on the front lines of Atlanta’s food and beverage scene. The event, hosted by the hospitality networking group ATL industree, offers a chance for industry workers to connect and share stories, and promises candid discussion from some of the city’s most accomplished women.

“Atlanta is home to some of the best restaurants in the country, and women are such a huge part of that,” says ATL industree city manager Karen Pagano. “This is an amazing opportunity for those inside the industry and out to meet, mingle and show their support. The goal is to bring everyone together to provide education and opportunities, and to forge and strengthen the bonds that help our industry grow and thrive.”

“Hail to the V” takes place on Monday, Aug. 10, from 2-5 p.m. at Gypsy Kitchen (3035 Peachtree Road NE). Tickets are $10-$40 in advance and include all food and beverages. For every ticket sold, $5 will be donated to The Farmer Fund, a nonprofit that helps support metro Atlanta farmers who face hardships due to natural disasters.

Mara Davis of "Atlanta Eats" will moderate a panel of powerhouses that includes:
  • Asha Gomez: owner/chef, Spice to Table
  • Shireen Herrington: general manager, the Optimist
  • Jenny Levison: owner/chef, Souper Jenny, Juicy Jenny and Cafe Jonah
  • Mercedes O'Brien: cocktail cart conductor, Gunshow
