A First for Atlanta

Chef in Residency at CNN Center

Located inside CNN Center in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, the Taste of ATL VIP Lounge is where the city’s best local food and drink businesses come to you. Think Delta Sky Club — but every station is a local ATL business you’ve never tried, or one you already love. Graze and stay as long as you want, and keep the energy going at the cash bar.

 

A different lineup. The same quality. Every activation day.

Stuffed Chicken Breast, Grilled Salmon, Saffron Rice, Vegetables, Blood Orange Lemonade, all in one table

Atlanta is full of visitors and events, and D Café brings real Southern soul food to corporate gatherings, private dinners, and group celebrations across the city, now catering the VIP Lounge at CNN.

Sunday, Served to the World

For D Café, soul food isn't just a cuisine. It's an intention, and now it's on a bigger stage than ever.
