AT TWELVE EIGHTY, ARTFUL DINING INSPIRES FALL MENU
No Ticket Required to Experience Culinary Arts at Woodruff Arts Center

ATLANTA (Oct. 23, 2017) The Atlanta Symphony isn’t the only organization fine-tuning its 2017/18 season performances. John C. Metz, executive chef, CEO and co-founder of Sterling Spoon Culinary Management (which operates Twelve Eighty), along with chef de cuisine Andreas Georgakopoulos, are working to hit the perfect culinary notes at Twelve Eighty, located in the heart of Midtown’s beloved Woodruff Arts Center. The team has been busily sourcing the best local ingredients to give arts aficionados and foodies a memorable dining performance.

“There’s no doubt the Woodruff Arts Center is a cultural destination, not only for Atlanta residents but for people throughout the Southeast,” says Metz. “Thanks to Chef Andreas’ knack for creative and tasteful compositions, the restaurant has become a culinary destination as well.”

Some of the show-stopping highlights on Twelve Eighty’s new fall menu include the following:
