And oh baby, Kevin Gillespie (the head chef), who won third place on Bravo's Top Chef, lit my fire at Woodfire Grill
Excuse my photos. I really need to get my camera situated so you can actually see the amazing food that I have been eating.
Before our meals, we were surprised with a spoonful of something that for the life of me I cannot remember. All I remember was that it was light and it tasted like a bouquet of flowers. Very fragrant!
For my starter, I definitely wanted to try the Black Truffle Mushroom Risotto. I mean black truffle, mushrooms and risotto, how can you go wrong?
Gillespie is known for his slow-cooked pork, but I wanted to try his Sturgeon. And of course it was just out of this world. Not a single flake of sturgeon left on my plate.
I topped the whole meal off with no, not a dessert, but a couple of glasses of bodegas borsao garnacha campo de borja tres picos. Now that's some great Spanish wine!
On a sidenote, but I am so proud of the culinary talent in Atlanta. We've had several of our awesome chefs on Bravo's Top Chef: Richard Blais, previously from One Midtown Kitchen and now Flip Burger; Hector Santiago, head chef at Pura Vida; Eli Kirshtein, from Eno
I know I'm missing several other chefs, so sorry chefs, but I suggest you check these places out!

I wish I lived closer so I could have come along for ladies' supper club! It sounds heavenly. Was everyone blown away by the cuisine?
Oh it was soo yummy! I am glad we get to share each other's company as we indulge in these celebrity chefs' art pieces! They are just divine! I wish I had my camera that night!
Meg, you definitely need to come next time! The food was just awesome!! I think next month we are doing either buckhead restaurant week or inman park restaurant week.
J. Wo, I wish I had my camera too! these pictures don't do any justice to the food, but then again what picture will!
