Steven Hartman is still a relative unknown around these parts, but that doesn’t mean we’re the least bit upset to have him here on Inside The Chef’s Kitchen. As it turns out, the young chef of Le Vigne restaurant at Montaluce Winery has already made quite the impression on many Atlanta bloggers and foodies. Like many others, I first stumbled across Hartman during that trip. Since then I have been dying to get back for a meal all my own.
Though Hartman is a transplant from the highly regarded Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, TN, he already seems right at home at the Dahlonega-based winery. If you don’t have a chance to skedaddle up to Le Vigne, you can follow all the action from Steven’s blog, humorously named Hogballs & Mountain Dew. He also drops in over on twitter via @hogballs.
Fear not ladies and gents, Steven won’t actually serve you any hog balls (unless maybe you ask him). In any event, we’re glad he took time out of his day to drop in here. So grab your morning coffee, sit back and relax, and welcome to ITCK!
