PHOTO BY RASHUN HAYES
THE PARTY Hosted by Modern Luxury Interiors Atlanta, the annual To Live & Dine event returned to ADAC in all its glory this year, dazzling a substantial showing of guests from the design community and beyond. Fourteen designers participated in this year’s event, decorating an entire tablescape and aesthetic inspired by Sherwin-Williams’ ColorMix 2023 color palettes. This year, the event was finally able to be properly held, hosting tables of guests for a six-course meal provided by Atlanta’s top culinary talent. The first course was a lovely cheese, charcuterie and fruit cone by Charcuterie Chick, followed by a delicious burrata salad by Le Bilboquet and a scallop crudo by Drawbar at Bellyard. Next, a pork, veal and beef meatball over polenta by Valenza Restaurant was followed by paella by Botica ATL, and, finally, Le Colonial presented Le Citron—yuzu mousse, poached Meyer lemon, mint and white chocolate—for dessert. Cocktail hour was presented by Dove Studio, and specialty cocktails were provided by Edrington: Brugal 1888 rum, No. 3 gin and Noble Oak whiskey as well as Construction Resources and Aaron Overhead Doors.
