Kevin Gillespie TO OPEN Communion
FRIDAY, APRIL 15 in Decatur
German Beer Garden-Inspired Backyard at
Revival Features a Food Truck,
Easy-Drinking
Beverages, Tokens and Friendly Games of Cornhole
ATLANTA (April 12, 2016) – Just
in time for the gorgeous spring weather, Atlanta chef, restaurateur,
speaker and cookbook author Kevin
Gillespie is opening Communion, a German beer garden-inspired backyard at his
popular Revival restaurant in Decatur on Friday, April 15. Since opening in
2015, Revival has welcomed diners to its historic converted house as a part of
the Gillespie extended family and served them family-style portions of fried
chicken, meatloaf and Gillespie’s grandmother’s cornbread. With Communion, the
chef is ready to welcome guests to his insanely fun backyard, down to the
horseshoes and cornhole games.
This latest creative culinary
brainstorm includes a food truck where guests can sample executive chef Andreas
Müller's inspired takes on classic German beer garden snacks, including grilled
rye with Kartoffelkäse, Bavarian-style pretzels with hot mustard and Obatzda
and grilled sausages with sauerkraut, mustard and beef fat-fried potatoes. The
drink list offers a selection of European-style draft and bottled session beers,
Old World-style wines, punches and batched cocktails.
Backyard revelers won’t have
to worry about keeping track of a tab, either. Upon arrival, guests purchase
tokens - $5 each - from the Communion cashier and spend them on drinks and food
truck purchases. Any unused tokens can be used on future visits. Most food
truck snacks and drinks are 1-3 tokens, with server and bartender gratuities
already factored into the price of each.
“In the truest sense of the
word, Communion means ‘to share,’ and that is our guiding inspiration behind
the new outdoor space,” explains Gillespie. “We love to treat our guests like
family at Revival, extending that hospitality to cookouts in the front yard and
supper on the side porch. Now, the backyard is our final addition. It's a place
where friends and neighbors can meet and share a drink, a snack from our food
truck or play a game of horseshoes together."
Communion opens Friday, April
15 at 4 p.m. behind Revival. Operating hours are Thursdays and Fridays
beginning at 4 p.m. and at 11 a.m. on Saturdays and 12:30 p.m. on Sundays
(weather permitting).
