Peter Dale at City Grit!

Check out Chef Peter Dale, this year's Food and Wine’s People’s Best New Chef - Southeast and chef/owner of Athens, Georgia’s critically-acclaimed The National, a farm-to-table restaurant serving Southern fare with a Mediterranean twist - in a two-night series at CITY GRIT!

Raised by a Greek father and Ecuadorian mother in Georgia, Peter grew up surrounded by unique flavors and culinary traditions. While he graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in public relations, he soon decided to pursue his lifelong passion: food.  He began as an apprentice at Five & Ten, and then traveled to Spain, where he interned at Madrid’s famed La Broche. His time cooking and eating in Spain, as well as family heritage, continue to inspire his innovative, globally-minded food. In 2007, we partnered up and opened The National, which has received praise from Bon Appétit, Garden and Gun, Taste of the South, New York Magazine, and Food and Wine.

Peter will be serving a very personal five-course menu inspired by his travels - from Spain to the Middle East, his family’s heritage and his current life in Georgia. The menu will feature Georgia-grown ingredients and flavors inspired by the south and Latin America.

When: Friday, January 11th at 7:30 pm & Saturday, January 12th at 7:00 pm
Where: 38 Prince (between Mott and Mulberry) 
Price: $75, beer and wine available for purchase
