Planting the Seed


In addition to his status as Athens’ unofficial culinary ambassador—thanks to his two highly regarded local restaurants, Five & Ten and The National—chef, author and “Top Chef” judge Hugh Acheson is an advocate for childhood education, specifically as it concerns practical, often-overlooked life skills like cooking. His Seed Life Skills organization, described as “a living curriculum dedicated to empowering youth to be sustainable stewards of food and financial resources,” will benefit from Sunday’s special concert and dinner at The Foundry. Acheson will oversee the meal, and alt-country stalwarts 6 String Drag will provide the sounds.
