When we think of Atlanta, our provincial New York City-centric brain immediately conjures up images of a Coca Cola bottle, CNN and Phaedra Parks. So on Tuesday, when we headed down there for a dinner hosted by Kanon (to introduce the city to its organic vodka) at The Goat Farm -- a working farm and arts center that felt like something out of a Brooklyn artisinal pickle-maker's wet dream -- all our ignorant preconceived stereotypes were thrown out the window. The whole affair featured insanely delicious organic fare by chef Shane Devereux of newly-opened restaurant The Lawrence (the smoked oysters with jalapenos were a highlight), accompanied by Kanon cocktails. Attendees included gals about town Lo Mitchell and Mattie James; artists Greg Mike and Jarno Kettunen; and the infamous ATL Twins, who we are simultaneously creeped out/fascinated by (they share everything -- including a girlfriend!) and apparently have a big role in Harmony Korine's upcoming Spring Breakers.
