Pate of the South Is a Taste of Culinary History Prepared by the Pimentologist(TM) at The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta
Downtown Atlanta Hotel Creates Memorable Culinary Experiences
(firmenpresse) - ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/18/13 -- When the Pimentologist™ at prepares pimento cheese for hotel guests, the conversation always turns to the rich culinary heritage of the South. It's a familiar subject for Brian Jones, chef de cuisine of Atlanta Grill -- and Chief Pimentologist -- whose passion for southern cooking began as a child working alongside his aunts in the family garden in nearby Chamblee, Ga.
"Pimento Cheese is called the Pâté of the South because it's been packed in lunch boxes and served at teas and luncheons, weddings and wakes, for decades," said Chef Jones. "It's great fun to introduce this genuine southern staple to our guests."
The Pimentologist ritual is popular among visitors, many of whom make it a point to gather in the hotel Lobby on Tuesday or Friday between 5 and 6:30 p.m. for a complimentary tasting with crostini or crudité. Generations of southerners have made pimento cheese so many versions exist, but Chef Jones recommends his basic recipe which includes three simple ingredients: sharp cheddar cheese, a good mayonnaise and -- the secret -- charred red peppers.
"Char and dice the red peppers," said Chef Jones. "You don't need to make your own mayonnaise -- just buy a good southern-styled mayo -- but do not use pimentos from a jar." Chef Jones recommends Pimentologist Pairings, as follows:

Hotel guests may also find pimento cheese on Chef Brian's menu in . The downtown Atlanta restaurant offers Pimento Cheese Toast as an appetizer for sharing made by charring slices of baguette, spreading with pimento cheese, waving under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling, then topping with sliced green onions. As well, a pimento cheese-stuffed celery stalk garnishes a filet mignon.
