I'm the Founder/President of Piedmont Insurance Brokerage and volunteer time to the Touchdown Club of Atlanta. For my job, I entertain quite a bit, which means I basically eat out for a living. This has spurred a love of great dining experiences as well as a disdain for missed opportunities. The genesis for Silverfork was on a trip to NYC where I had a small window of time and was craving soup dumplings. I became frustrated finding a trusted source that was also within a 10 minute walk of my hotel. At one point I had 4 websites open trying to cross reference a spot and thought there has to be a better way.

Truly everywhere. I constantly look for anything I can apply to different parts of my life from things I see, read and hear. One of my favorite quotes that inspires me daily is from Naval Ravikant: "A fit body, calm mind and house full of love. These things cannot be bought - they must be earned."

Probably on a golf course followed by some family time with our two little ones in the backyard or at the park.

Something like Alinea.

I believe atmosphere plays such a major role, because it puts you in the right frame of mind and the taste experience is an accumulation of multiple senses.

Enoteca Pinchiorri. I would ask for a vintage wine from my birth year, followed by a BEC sandwich plate from Waffle House.
