Widespread Panic Album Release Party at Rosebud!

“Ribs & Whiskey” Party on Monday, May 24th, from 6-9 p.m. - Come down to Rosebud and take in Atlanta’s first listen to Panic’s newest studio release, “Dirty Side Down,” the day before it is released to the public! Ron will be smoking Riverview Farms ribs on our smoker, Bertha and we’ll also be featuring some whiskey cocktails featuring Jack Daniels and Terrapin brews for all you beer lovers. Please be sure to bring some canned foods, as this is a benefit for the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Widespread Food & Fun

Oh, what a night we had last night with our Don't Panic tribute dinner. Rocking out to WSP tunes, drinking from red Solo cups (as a shout out to John Bell) and five fantastic courses dedicated to the music of Widespread Panic.

We started the evening with "Red Beans" - seared Georges Bank scallops served over braised Carolina red beans, housemade orange mustard and micro celery.

Next, we floated on to "Fishwater" - Peekytoe crab ravioli with local baby fennel, sherry and a shellfish consomme.

After a light course like Fishwater, we kicked up the spice a bit with "Thought Sausage" - Riverview Farms sausage gumbo with Carolina plantation rice. (This course was my personal favorite - just the right amount of heat to it.)

Before anyone got too full, we moved on to "Ribs and Whiskey" - braised Painted Hills short ribs over green garlic potato puree, housemade pickled peppers and Maker's Mark demi-glace. (This was the majority's favorite course. The short ribs practically melted they were so tender.)

At this point, most people were starting to get pretty full so we went very light with "Coconut" for dessert - coconut beignets with chilly watermelon and basil creme anglaise.

Top the evening off with a few PBR "Tall Boys" and some fun, take-home goodies and we were able to call last night a success! Next musical tribute dinner - Jerry Garcia, of course. Join us August 5 or 6 for a two night run. It isn't too late to make your reservation now.

Who's Panicking?

To say that chef & owner Ron Eyester is a music lover is a bit of an understatement. Ron has built a reputation for his music tribute dinners for bands like The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, and Johnny Cash over the last few years. Tomorrow night we are hosting our first music tribute dinner since Ron has taken over as owner, and, appropriately, it is titled Don't Panic - The Changes Aren't Widespread.
