Locally-sourced food fuels Cobb Galleria Centre menus

Chef Nicholas Walker celebrates his Southern roots by incorporating house-made, locally and regionally sourced ingredients into seasonally-changing, custom menus for just about every client. Boosted by an on-site garden and a strong focus on community outreach, Cobb Galleria Centre is taking the convention center culinary experience to a new level. Small batch cooking on a large scale – it can be done, and done well.
