Omnivore - South’s best chefs to cook for you here

Here’s an amazing event that should appeal to any fan of Southern cooking. Clifford Harrison and Anne Quatrano — owners of Bacchanalia, Floataway, Abattoir and Quinones — will host a dinner Sunday, Oct. 31, to benefit the James Beard Foundation’s scholarship fund. (Yes, it’s on Halloween.)
