About The Founder: Dale DeSena is the Founder and CEO of Taste of Atlanta, a recipe that DeSena cooked up 22 years ago. Taste of Atlanta is a culinary festival that features prominent restaurants in the Atlanta area. The festival was not only a way to explore new restaurants in the area but to connect with other culinary professionals while enjoying delicious bites, wine, beer, and cocktails. DeSena started her career working in advertising and sales and started her own custom publishing firm. From there, DeSena got a job with Music Midtown and worked with the festival for 10 years. Over the years, she started working with more festivals and events such as the Atlanta Dogwood Festival and the Atlanta Arts Festival. DeSena was ready for more and had a savory passion to create a food and culinary experience. In 2022, DeSena expanded her horizon and broke down the once-a-year festival into 4 different events in various Atlanta areas: Alpharetta, Chamblee, Sandy Springs, and Midtown. These events are a must-visit destination and create a fun environment for food lovers to try new and tasty bites. Although DeSena has a strong love for the festival, her creativity and ideas don’t stop there. DeSena also works with multiple community organizations that specifically help those in the food and beverage industry. The culinary job bank is another asset that DeSena created for the food and beverage scene. It is an application for people to get a job at different restaurants and makes it easier to get in contact with multiple restaurants. ► Luxury Women Handbag Discounts: https://www.theofficialathena.... ► Become an Equus Coach®: https://equuscoach.com/?rfsn=7... ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH58... ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/po... ► Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSa... ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1lov... ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsa... ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog #atlanta #ashsaidit #theashsaiditshow #ashblogsit #ashsaidit®Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ash-said-it-show--1213325/support.
