Quotes
“A fabulous restaurant experience is composed of several elements. Fine food made with the freshest ingredients should unite with fine wine; these tastes should then be supplemented by a rich ambiance and gracious service. The pleasures of taste meet with the pleasures of décor in a layered experience of flavor and atmosphere.” – Chef Linton Hopkins, PBA Online 2009
“A city where a treasured chef's departure can be front-page news, Atlanta has more than its share of fine restaurants, many of them cavernous, overdesigned colonizations of old industrial buildings. Smaller and friendlier is Restaurant Eugene, where the staff shares its passions readily and the menu can read like a Southern safari by Linton Hopkins, the chef.” – The New York Times, March 2007
