THE BEEF SWEET WIN

H

oly Vidalia! Judges have crowned Preserving Place’s own Sweet Onion Confit

as a winner in the 2014 University of Georgia Flavor of Georgia Food Product Contest. The customer favorite beat out two other finalists in the condiments category, and was the only winner based out of the city of Atlanta.

“Confit” is the past participle of “confire,” a French word aptly meaning “to preserve.”

Confits are cooked in fat for a long time at a low temperature and, as such, represent the very essence of the kind of cooking that the crew at Preserving Place lives to pass along to clients. Check out their full slate of canning, preserving, and pickling, classes online at preservingplace.com.

IT’S PATIO TIME

S

pring is in the air, and WSPD’s patios are

calling, “Come hither.” Whether

you’re toasting with margaritas at Taqueria del Sol, kicking back to some live music at JCT. Bar, stealing each other’s Parmesan fries at JCT. Kitchen, treating the kids to Star Provisions sandwiches and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, sampling charcuterie at Abattoir, enjoying milkshakes at Yeah! Burger, chilling with frozen yogurt at Yoforia, or tucking into $10 Burger & Beer night at West Egg Café, WSPD’s patios are open and inviting. So drop by the district and enjoy your lunch, dinner or snack with an extra helping of vitamin-D packed sunshine on one of our plentiful, wonderful restaurant patios. westsidepd.com.

SUNDOWN SERIES

S

ave the date for Wednesday, April 30th when WSPD, in partnership with the

Atlanta Film Festival, kicks off its Sundown Series celebrating art, music, food, and film.

Held April through July on the last Wednesday of the month, each Sundown Series event will begin at 5pm with pop-up galleries, shops, and more. Then, from 6-ish to 8-ish, enjoy live music on the corner near Yeah! Burger, followed by a film at sundown in the alley across from lululemon (chairs provided). The Sundown Series is best enjoyed with a takeaway dinner from one of WSPD’s many yummy restaurants. Call ahead or stroll in to place your order, and our restaurants will be happy to prepare it to-go. Learn more and get the full Sundown Series schedule at westsidepd.com.
