Team Hidi is not a function,
party, or even an event—it is unlike anything Atlanta has ever experienced. The
restaurant industry is one of the most (if not the most) competitive businesses
that exists.
Last year, when we all came
together for the Hidingers, for Ryan, for The Giving Kitchen, everyone was in
awe of how all of these amazing people, chefs, and restaurants could be in the
same room for any reason. It was the best party the city had ever seen, and we
just happened to raise a lot of money as well.
This year, with Ryan’s passing a
little over a week prior, there was more of a somber mood in the air—this year,
it had much more meaning. Hearing Jen, his wife, speak after the video that
could only be described as perfect, was difficult to say the least.
Special shout out to GOM family and friends
who helped make the event so special:
