WELCOME TO THE 2025 CHEF INFORMATION PAGE
The Southern Food & Whiskey Experience is the premier whiskey and food experience in the South, with each event featuring 10 local chefs/restaurants serving up creative and delicious small bites alongside whiskey samples from 40+ of our favorite whiskey brands.
​
At The Southern Whiskey Society, our mission is to foster an intentional community through curated, immersive whiskey and food experiences that transport us to a place where hospitality is not just an action, but a way of life.
What's new in 2025:
Protein Sponsor
We're excited to announce Bullbourne Bison as our official Protein Sponsor!
What this means to you:
Bullbourne will provide all the bison you need for any dish you prepare to showcase at The Southern Food & Whiskey Experience FREE OF CHARGE TO YOU.
​
In addition....
Bullbourne will host an evening at their ranch to showcase their products.
I will invite a distillery to sponsor this evening so it will be a night you don't want to miss out on.
