A LOVE STORY IN TASTE: NAHM FINE THAI CUISINE CELEBRATES 19 YEARS

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 11/10/25

Nahm Fine Thai Cuisine celebrates 19 years of artistry, culture, and connection — a month of gratitude, reflection, and shared love through food. 

There are places you go to eat, and then there are places that invite you to feel. For nineteen years, Nahm Fine Thai Cuisine has been that kind of place — the heartbeat of Alpharetta’s culinary community, where food is more than flavor and dining becomes an act of connection. 

Founded in 2006 by Chef Nahm Stamm, the restaurant began as a quiet dream — to share the beauty of Thai culture through the universal language of taste. What she created has become one of the region’s most enduring fine-dining destinations, known for its balance of elegance and ease, its devotion to artistry, and its unmistakable sense of soul. 

Nahm’s approach has always been rooted in something deeper than craft. It’s the way she moves through her kitchen with presence, the care woven into each plate, and the hospitality that feels less like service and more like love. Her restaurant has grown into a place of gathering — for date nights that linger late, for birthdays, for moments that deserve to be savored. 

In this month of gratitude, Nahm Fine Thai Cuisine celebrates nineteen years with “A Love Story in Taste,” a weeklong tasting experience from November 11 through November 18. The menu reflects nearly two decades of devotion — a journey of flavor and feeling, each course paired with hand-selected wines that honor the harmony of authentic Thai cuisine. To dine here is to experience the essence of Nahm — graceful, intentional, and quietly radiant. For nineteen years, she has built not just a restaurant, but a sanctuary — a place where people come to celebrate, to pause, and to be reminded that food, at its truest, is an expression of love. 

In a city that continues to evolve, Chef Nahm Stamm remains one of its constants — a woman whose artistry has defined a community’s sense of taste, and whose presence continues to remind guests that the most beautiful experiences are often the most heartfelt.

BRASSERIE MARGOT PRESENTS A FOUR HANDS COLLABORATION DINNER: PARIS MEETS LIMA

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 9/5/25

A One-Night Celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with Chefs Jon Novak and Arnaldo Castillo

Reservations Now Available for Saturday, September 20, 2025

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Brasserie Margot will host a one-night-only Four Hands Collaboration Dinner: Paris Meets Lima on Saturday, September 20, 2025, beginning at 7 p.m. The evening unites two of Atlanta’s most buzzed-about chefs for a celebratory night of storytelling through food: Jon Novak, acclaimed Executive Chef of Brasserie Margot, and Arnaldo Castillo, the James Beard Award–nominated chef behind Tio Lucho’s, recently named one of Bon Appétit’s “Best 11 Restaurants in Atlanta.”

Novak, who sharpened his skills in Michelin-recognized kitchens, has earned acclaim for his modern French style that balances artistry with approachability, establishing him as one of Atlanta’s chefs to watch. Castillo, born in Peru and raised in the South, brings a distinct culinary voice that bridges cultures with bold, soulful, and deeply personal dishes that have drawn national attention.

Together, they will create a five course tasting menu that begins with an amuse-bouche and unfolds into a dialogue between French technique and Peruvian spirit. Guests can expect inventive plates, layered flavors, and a celebratory atmosphere that honors Hispanic Heritage Month through creativity, collaboration, and community.

The Four Hands Paris Meets Lima dinner is $78++ per person, with limited seating available. For more information or to make a reservation, visit www.brasseriemargot.com. Stay connected on Instagram at @brasseriemargotatl. Brasserie Margot is located at 75 14th Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia. Valet parking is available.
