Each restaurant is bringing a “taste” of its foods prepared by top Sandy Springs chefs. Every session will allow event-goers to vote for the “Best Taste” award and deem that Chef’s bite as the greatest. Attendees will get a taste of many musical genres from GlowBand and The Geek Squad Band’s performances showcasing the 60’s, Motown, Jazz, Hip Hop and even today’s Top 40 hits.
“Food that Rocks celebrates the restaurateurs and cuisine of Sandy Springs,” said Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul. “In addition to the delicious and diverse culinary options, there will be live music, chef demonstrations, wine, beer, and cocktail tastings. Support our local businesses and savor tasty treats from top rated restaurants in Sandy Springs.”
