ADAC Behind the Windows

Last week we worked with some of our favorite designers, to help them create their Behind the Windows Vignettes inside ADAC.  You have to stop by and take a look!  The vignettes are located on the 2nd and 3rd Floors, towards the back of the building, and they are fabulous!  We had a little fun and made a collage of each Designer who used our pieces-

Friday Spotlight- Peter Dale

In honor of Outstanding in the Field this Saturday, in Athens, our Friday spotlight is on Peter Dale.  

Peter is one of the featured chefs for this event.  
Peter has his own restaurant, The National, which he opened in 2007.  He opened The National in a restored 1950's Plymouth Car Dealership and tire recap plant.  He did this after training under Hugh Acheson at Five and Ten and holding an internship at La Broche in Madrid, Spain.  Click here to follow Peter's blog!
 Below are pictures of previous dinners Outstanding in the Field has put on. We can't wait to see the set up tomorrow, at Woodland Gardens!

Cheers and Happy Friday!
