			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Market season is officially underway, and thank you to <a href="http://www.grantparkmarket.org/">Grant Park Farmers&#8217; Market</a> for an amazing opening day Sunday!  As a reminder, you can now find us Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at three intown outdoor markets!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>This week, we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with the <a href="http://globalgrowers.net/global-farms-and-gardens/community-programs.html">Global Growers Network</a>, located just outside Decatur!   The Global Growers Network creates new agricultural opportunities in Georgia for international farmers who were forced to flee their homelands as refugees, due to war, genocide and persecution. The Network uses a whole-systems approach to produce good food, train and place farmers, and create economic opportunity for local communities in Georgia.  Last week, Kevin and the TST Team toured the farm and worked with GGN to pick out seeds to plant solely for use in our products.  Our hope is that by year&#8217;s end, we&#8217;ll be getting as much of our weekly produce as possible from a farm less than fifteen miles from our shop.  It doesn&#8217;t get more local than that!  Thank  you to <a href="http://decatur.patch.com/articles/susan-pavlin">Susan Pavlin</a>, who serves on the <a href="http://slowfoodatlanta.org/">Slow Food Atlanta </a>Board with Kevin, for all of her hard work on this effort, and for letting The Spotted Trotter participate in the change!</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Two down, one to go!  Thank you to all of the vendors and patrons of the  <a href="http://www.peachtreeroadfarmersmarket.com/">East Atlanta Village Farmers&#8217; Market</a> for an amazing opening season day last Thursday!   And to our <a href="http://www.grantparkmarket.org/">Grant Park Farmers&#8217; Market </a>family, we are looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!  Hard to believe, but  by the time the sun sets this Sunday, all three of our markets will be in full swing.  We certainly are looking forward to a wonderful and healthy market season.<strong><em></em></strong><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Speaking of hard to believe, it&#8217;s mind-boggling that May 1st is just a week away.  But we couldn&#8217;t be more excited because May 10-13th, Atlanta will host its second annual <a href="http://atlfoodandwinefestival.com/">Food &amp; Wine Festival</a> in Midtown!  If you missed it last year, it was an absolute blast, and Kevin is thrilled to have been asked back this year to teach another seminar on Sunday.  This time the theme is <a href="http://atlfoodandwinefestival.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/AFWF-Class-Schedule-Descriptions_0417.pdf">Cured Pairings</a>, where The Spotted Trotter will take you on a meat, cheese, and wine-pairing journey you&#8217;ll not soon forget.  Busy on Sunday and can&#8217;t make the seminar?  No worries!  The Spotted Trotter is expanding its level of participation this year and will also be featured Saturday on <a href="http://atlfoodandwinefestival.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/AFWF-Class-Schedule-Descriptions_0417.pdf">THE WHOLE PIG TRAIL</a>, a nose-to-tail experience curated by Kevin Gillespie of <a href="http://www.woodfiregrill.com/">Woodfire Grill</a>!  Is your mouth watering yet?<br />

</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>So, although not directly related to The Spotted Trotter in the most conventional sense, we couldn&#8217;t help but mention that this Saturday, April 21st, Megan and Kevin celebrate their 5-year wedding anniversary.  Needless to say, a LOT has happened in these first five years, and so, as we pass this personal milestone (still married and still alive!!!), we wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you so much to all of our friends, family, vendors, and customers for their unwavering support, enthusiasm, and candor since this little venture first appeared on the scene in June 2010.  We wouldn&#8217;t be where we are &#8212; professionally or personally &#8212; without all of you, so thank you for being a part of our family. </em><em></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Hope everyone has a great week, and Stay Hungry Atlanta!<br />

<p><strong><em>For those of you who are market veterans, you&#8217;ll be excited to know that this season we have been approved to sell menu items that may overlap with other vendors, including our bacon, breakfast sausage, sweet hot italian, and knock-brauts, just to name a few!  Please note, however, that we will not bring every item we have in the retail shop to the markets each week, so if you have a question about whether we&#8217;re able to bring something to market, please call us at 404.254.4958 or use the <a href="http://thespottedtrotter.com/preorders/">preorder function</a> on the website.  We ask that all market orders be received a minimum of 48 hours before each market.<strong><em></em></strong><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Additionally, starting this week, you can now find us regularly on menus at <a href="http://www.grandatlanta.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/entertainment/restaurants/index.jsp#1634">The Grand Hyatt</a>, <a href="http://ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Buckhead/Dining/Default.htm">Ritz Carlton-Buckhead</a>, <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Atlanta/Dining/AtlantaGrill/Default.htm">Ritz Carlton-Downtown</a></em><em>, <a href="http://saucedatlanta.com/">Sauced</a> in Inman Park, and <a href="http://cakesandalerestaurant.com/">Cakes &amp; Ale</a> in Decatur.  Thank you to Chefs Thomas McKeown, Todd Richards, Brian Jones, Ria Pell, and Billy Allen for the opportunity to be on their menus and for constantly pushing themselves and us to keep raising the bar.  What an amazing time for food in this city!</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>This week is special for at least two reasons.  First, Sunday, April 8th is Easter.  Second, the Masters are this week down in Augusta &#8212; another kind of religious experience if you&#8217;re a golf lover.  What does this mean for The Spotted Trotter?  It&#8217;s just two more reasons to get together with friends and family and celebrate health and happiness through food!  </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>If you have your heart set on something you see below for either of these occasions or just for your weekly menu &#8212; please remember you can always use our <a title="Preorders" href="http://thespottedtrotter.com/preorders/">preorder form to reserve your order in advance</a>.  At least for the next month, we really encourage everyone to take advantage of this option.  As we dramatically increase production to begin our three farmers markets this month, it&#8217;s going to take all we have to produce enough product, while also ensuring we aren&#8217;t stressing our local farms by ramping up too quickly.  It&#8217;s a delicate balance, but one we know you, as supporters of local, sustainable food, can understand and even appreciate.  Kudos to all of you for being our partner in changing the way this country eats.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>This week we are so proud to welcome John Gimson to The Spotted Trotter team!  John will be our new market manager for all three markets &#8212; <a href="http://www.farmeav.com/">East Atlanta</a>, <a href="http://www.grantparkmarket.org/">Grant Park</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.peachtreeroadfarmersmarket.com/">Peachtree Road</a>, which start in only a few short weeks!  And, here&#8217;s some additional exciting market news &#8212; we have confirmed we can sell all of the canned items we&#8217;ll be producing at all three markets AND we&#8217;ll be bringing all of the Southeastern cheeses we sell at the retail shop to the East Atlanta market, too!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>This week, in addition to several new menu items, the fact that we&#8217;re going strong with EIGHT salamis on the menu, and HOT DOGS are back (!!!), we highly recommend coming in to try some of the new bresaola, lomo, or saucisson l&#8217;ail!  How&#8217;s this for a customer review?  We were fortunate enough to debut these products this past weekend, just as a customer, who is visiting from Spain, walked into our store.  He specifically requested lomo, but of course we made him try everything to get his opinions!  Well, we received the stamp of approval, and he even assured us he would be proud to sport our TST Charcuterie reusable grocery bag anywhere in Europe!   Affirmations like this and the constant support of all of you make this all worthwhile!   </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Many of you have been fortunate enough in the past to get a jar of Kevin&#8217;s BBQ sauce, pepper onion relish, or citrus-pickled fennel fronds as a gift.

This week, Kevin heads up to our old stompin&#8217; grounds at UGA to get his second degree from this wonderful institution, this time in all things canning!  As soon as that &#8220;diploma&#8221; is in hand, get ready for The Spotted Trotter shelves to be filled with housemade EVERYTHING!  We&#8217;re working hard to become your one-stop shop for all things meat in Atlanta, and this is just the next natural step.  Stay Hungry Atlanta!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>From the looks of our case as we closed the shop on Sunday, everyone has dusted off their grills and is ready for a wonderful Spring of grilling out and eating well with friends &#8212; we can&#8217;t seem to keep the <a href="www.brasstownbeef.com">Brasstown</a> Ribeyes, Flat Iron Steaks, and Center Cut Pork Chops on the shelves!  All of the fresh sausages sold out as well, so kudos to you Atlanta for continuing to shop local and eat good meat!  </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>In addition to cranking out some new delicious menu items this week, The Spotted Trotter heads to the Highlands, North Carolina on Saturday where Kevin will be on the panel of chef judges for the third annual <a href="http://www.samcallproductions.com/challenge/ChefChallengeFinal.pdf">King of the Mountain Chef&#8217;s Challenge</a>, held at the beautiful Old Edwards Inn &amp; Spa.  We are honored to be participating, but let&#8217;s be honest, we are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">really</span> excited to be taking our first day off since New Years and letting someone else do the cooking!  This will be our first time leaving the retail shop together, so we imagine it&#8217;ll be a bit like leaving a baby with a sitter for the first time &#8212; emergency numbers posted everywhere and checking in every hour on the hour!  </em></strong></p>
