Description
Cate Hatch grew up in both Atlanta, Georgia, and Raleigh, North Carolina, and has always cherished the culture and food heritage of the American South. She is a Certified Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers and a Certified Specialist of Wine since 2008. We talk about how she had the opportunity to work for and with some of the legends of southern cuisine: Scott Peacock at Watershed as a Dining Room Manager, with Kevin Gillespie at Woodfire Grill as Sommelier, and most recently, with Gina and Linton Hopkins, working her way up to Director of Operations, Leadership & Wine. In 2019, Hatch reunited with her former Woodfire Grill colleague, Joey Ward, to lead the highly anticipated restaurants Southern Belle and Georgia Boy, just months ahead of the pandemic. After a very exciting year and a half guiding the team through 2020’s strange times, we talk about what reopening Southern Belle & Georgia Boy in 2021 has been like with a renewed focus on the wine program and creative pairings. You can follow her adventures @cate_with_a_cee on social media, and you can visit www.southernbelleatl.com to learn more about the restaurants.
