If you’re anything like me, Atlanta’s food scene has stolen your heart. So when I heard about this new series called “Nosh Talks,” I quickly became a fan.

Nosh Talk’s mission is to bring together Atlanta’s food and beverage industry through fun events. Karen Pagano, who has been involved with local favorites such as Takorea and Saltyard, is the face behind this awesome networking series. She describes it as “a way for Atlanta’s food and beverage professionals to eat, drink, learn and share together.” How fun!

The first Nosh Talks event, Booze Schmooze, is Monday, March 7 at Monday Night Brewing from 2 – 5 pm. True to all foodie events, there will be light food and drinks. The panel discussion will cover the booming creative craft cocktail and local beverage industry. Dan Plevak, a local liquor licensing attorney, will be the moderator, while Aria’s Andres Loaiza, The Painted Pin’s Trip Sandifer, Monday Night’s Jonathan Baker and American Spirit Whiskey’s Charlie Thompson make up the panel.

Tickets are available now and can be purchased here. $10 for students, $20 for industry members and $40 for non-industry guests.

Good luck to you, Karen! This sounds like exactly what the Atlanta food and beverage scene has been looking for.
