Thanks to local milliner Leigh Magar from Magar Hatworks for the shout out in this month's Food & Wine magazine. Leigh chose FIG as one of her 3 favorite restaurants in Charleston. This is what she had to say: "At FIG, a restaurant committed to local and sustainable food, I dress up for dinner in a fancy tomato-red Gary Graham dress and my Nadine cocktail hat, covered in faux fruit."
Thanks Leigh--we are, as always, in awe of your talent and appreciation for the flavor you bring to our community!

On Sunday, August 8, Chef Lata is joining 26 other top chefs from the Southeast for the 2nd Annual "Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival" at JCT. Kitchen in Atlanta, which is a benefit for Georgia Organics. Mike will be partnered with a local Georgia farmer to prepare a summer tomato dish, which will be judged by a panel that includes Kate Krader (Food & Wine) and Andrew Knowlton (Bon Appetit). The winner will be crowned "Tomato King or Queen" and will have bragging rights until next year's event.
If you've tasted the tomato tart-tatin on FIG's menu right now, you will agree that he has a good shot at the competition. And if you haven't tasted it yet, get yourself to FIG as soon as possible, while the Johns Island tomatoes are fire-engine red and bursting with flavor--you don't want to miss this dish!
The event takes place from 1 to 5 p.m. and ticketsare $45 for GO members and $50 for the public. To buy tickets or for more info, visit www.georgiaorganics.com.
Earlier this year, we partnered with the very talented ladies of Stitch Design, located here in Charleston, on a branding project for FIG. Stitch helped us reimagine new menus, business cards, stationery, drink stirrers, butter overlays and gift cards. They did an incredible job of keeping our current vibe while incorporating new design elements that really stand out and make an impression.
Check out the full project online at Communication Arts.
