Joel Penn & Amanda Newsom - Vinetta

02/18/19 • 51 min

Joel, a chef who has worked under many great names, like Terry Koval of Wrecking Bar. Amanda, Communications Manager for The Giving Kitchen. This dynamic duo forms Vinetta - a pop-up that found its roots in Athens way back when in 2013. These two came up with a fun way to host a hungry group of friends and ended up with a dinner series-now pop-up — and they are really picking up steam.

We sat down at A Mano late last year for a conversation.

Reza & Rehan Bhiwandiwalla - Ice Cream Walla

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — there’s a special bond between brothers. Something that can’t be defined — because it just...is. I love seeing this aspect of brotherhood and how it instills such creativity across places and business we are so lucky to have here in Atlanta. Which brings me to this week’s guests — Reza and Rehan of Ice Cream Walla. These two hail from Bombay India and have recreated the flavors of their childhood and given them the perfect vehicle — ice cream. Their story is, simply put, is incredible and I loved sitting with them to hear at their facility near Stone Mountain.

“Walla,” meaning “doer,” of Ice Cream. It may seem simple, but these two make up far more than just a clever name. They are taking Georgia-made milk and turning it into carefully crafted and textured ice creams — with dynamite flavors.
