ATLANTA CHEF KEVIN GILLESPIE CREATES 12 DAYS OF BEARDSMAS TO MAKE
GIFT-GIVING AS EASY AS FIRING UP YOUR LAPTOP
Limited quantities and value pricing on 12 packages allow food fans to
buy private cooking lessons, a pig roast or dinner with Kevin, plus personalized
books and more!
ATLANTA (Nov. 24, 2015) - This holiday season, forget about
waiting in that long line at the mall to talk to the guy with the white whiskers.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 27, Atlanta chef Kevin Gillespie’s own Red Beard Restaurants is offering
one-stop shopping for 12 of the most unique gifts and one-of-a-kind experiences
for every food lover on your gift list.
“Every year around the holidays, I get bombarded with emails
from folks who have dined with us, all requesting gift options revolving around
our restaurants,” explains Gillespie. “This year, instead of answering each
email one by one, we decided to offer some cool gift ideas for people who love
cooking and food as much as I do!”
Hence, the guy who has encountered diners showing up to his
restaurants with doppelgänger Yukon Cornelius “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”
dolls this time of year, has come up with the aptly named 12 Days of Beardsmas. Throughout the campaign, Chef Kevin will star
in a new 15-second Beardsmas video daily beginning Nov. 30, featuring the deal
of the day which is also posted on Gunshow's
and Revival’s Instagram, Twitter
and Facebook accounts. Starting Black Friday, online shoppers can log onto redbeardmerch.com and snap up cool,
limited edition gifts including:
