Haute Cuisine and Divine Design

Atlanta (March 3rd, 2009) -
A Legendary Event designers took 1st place honors over 12 other event designers for their “Sustainable Table” presented at the National Association of Catering Executives Greater Atlanta Chapter Event Design Trends Competition recently at the Atlanta History Center. Their eco-conscious table sends a strong message of conservation by using plants such as succulents, cacti, and kale that are self-sustaining by living off the moisture of their own leaf systems.

This table was featured among 40 other divine tabletop designs in October at DIFFA's (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) annual Dining by Design fundraiser, for which A Legendary Event has been a sponsor since the event's inception in 1998. A Legendary Event is slated to sponsor this unique fundraising event again in 2009.



Another repeat performance for A Legendary Event is the March 27th High Museum Wine Auction's Gala Dinner at Atlantic Station. A Legendary Event's Executive Chef Lincoln Stevens will collaborate with four guest chefs-Chef Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch Public House; Chef Scott Boswell of New Orleans' restaurants Stella! and Stanley; Chef Sam Mason of SoHo's Tailor; and Chef Sean Brock of McCrady's Restaurant in Charleston; to create wine-inspired haute cuisine for 800 guests.

Executive Chef Lincoln Stevens and his award-winning culinary team also picked up the International Caterers Award last week in Las Vegas for the “Kaleidoscope Menu” concept produced in January for 1100 guests at The New World of Coca-Cola. Currently, A Legendary Event is a finalist in five categories of the Allie Awards including Best Corporate Event, Best Tabletop Design, and Best Themed Event Decor. Winners will be announced Sunday, March 15th at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Buckhead.
