The Big Idea Ideas are a dime a dozen. In business, it’s implementation that counts … and throw in perfect timing for good measure. By Kamille D. Whittaker | kwhittaker@atlantatribune.com

Atlanta’s Food Truck scene has swelled to the point of permanent social fixture – offering every type of fare imaginable; and creating the prime conditions for communal eating and mobile imbibing.

Our clients enjoyed our service so much that through word of mouth our private bartending service became popular around the city.”

As their visibility grew, they wanted a name that expressed who they were and the type of service that they wanted to provide to our clients.
