[ B E H I N D T H E C OV E R ] For this issue’s cover shoot, we had the rare treat of hanging out at Buckhead’s Umi before the throngs of well-heeled sushi-lovers packed every table. Prior to the restaurant’s nightly opening, Chief Photographer Sara Hanna (an Umi regular herself) was invited to spend time Producer and Chief Photographer: Sara Hanna with head bartender Gabe Bowen and use her lens to capture some of the cocktail magic he stirs up each night to accompany the stellar Japanese cuisine prepared by chefs Fuyuhiko and Lisa Ito. In between answering calls from eager patrons, hostess Rachel Hernandez and other staff members watched as Bowen prepared the uniquely named Sabor Del Amor and The Lightweight. Once the photo clicks ceased, there was nothing left to do but imbibe Bowen’s superb concoctions (don’t mind if we do!) and a Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice roll made with love for our photographer by the chefs. You may not be able to get a table at Umi unless you call weeks in advance, but you can at least read about Bowen’s genius, and that of other Buckhead bartenders, in this issue’s cover story.
