Nan Thai Buckhead, under the guidance of executive chef DeeDee Niyomkul, is set to host a unique culinary event in collaboration with MICHELIN-recommended chef Joey Ward of Southern Belle and Georgia Boy. This one-night-only dinner, scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 2025, is not just a celebration of exquisite flavors but also a charitable endeavor benefiting CURE Childhood Cancer. The event underscores the power of gastronomy in bringing people together for a noble cause, especially as it leads into September's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
The dinner promises an unforgettable experience with a four-course menu that blends chef Niyomkul’s contemporary Thai cuisine with chef Ward’s signature 'authentically Atlanta' style. Highlights include Thai-style scallop ceviche and a creative take on 'Cereal + Milk' with roasted red snapper. Each course is thoughtfully paired with wine, offering guests a comprehensive tasting journey. Priced at $250 per person, the event includes tax and gratuity, with a portion of the proceeds directly supporting CURE Childhood Cancer. Reservations can be made through OpenTable.
This collaboration between Nan Thai Buckhead and chef Ward is a testament to the Atlanta culinary scene's vibrancy and its community's generosity.
