Atlanta’s Cooks & Soldiers hosts annual summer festival
ATLANTA – If you’ve got some red and white clothes hanging in your closet, now would be a good time to pull them out. Why? Because Atlanta’s Cooks & Soldiers is hosting its big summer festival this Sunday, and if you’re not wearing red and white, you might be the only one!
Cooks & Soldiers will host its annual Fêtes de Bayonne celebration this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., bringing the vibrant French festival of the same name here to metro Atlanta. Chances are you’ve seen Fêtes de Bayonne at Cooks & Soldiers featured on Good Day Atlanta in the past — but in case you haven’t, the event costs $50 for general admission (including unlimited food) and $70 for VIP admission (unlimited food and beverages), and honors the famous five-day festival with specially-created food and drinks at various stations throughout the restaurant. The restaurant’s team encourages people to wear white and red, which is a tradition at Fêtes de Bayonne celebrations in France.
Cooks & Soldiers is one of Atlanta’s unique restaurants, owned and operated by Castellucci Hospitality Group and featuring a menu inspired by executive chef John Castellucci’s travels.
“It’s Basque cuisine,” says Castellucci. “We represent the autonomous region between Spain and France. So, Spanish food and lots of French influence, as well, centered around our Asador, the wood-fired grill.”
Cooks & Soldiers is located at 691 14th Street Northwest in Atlanta — for more information on Sunday’s Fêtes de Bayonne and to purchase tickets, click here.

Isaac Hayes III Details Racist Incident With 'Karen' in Atlanta Neighborhood
TMZ.com
Isaac Hayes III — a famous record producer and the son of Isaac Hayes — is diving into an incident he says went down just outside his gated community on Christmas Eve … when he filmed a woman cursing at him and making a racist remark.
Here’s the deal … Hayes shared a video on his Instagram where a woman asks him for his name — accusing him of driving too fast in and out of the Atlanta gated community — before adding “f*** you.”

The diatribe then takes a racial turn … with what sounds like her saying, “Why don’t you be white?”
We spoke with Isaac … who tells us he had first seen this woman while driving into his neighborhood — waving her arms at him and shouting in what he thought was an effort to flag him down for assistance.
Hayes stopped to speak with the woman — who he says was cursing at him and making racist comments … and, he started to record to make sure he was safe.
Isaac says he’s heard a lot of “Karen” stories in his life … but, this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to him. People online are pissed, Isaac adds, though he’s trying to keep a cool head about the whole interaction.
TMZ.com
Hayes tells us he doesn’t know what the aftermath of this incident will bring … but, there’s one thing he has no interest in doing. Listen to the clip yourself to hear what it is.
We’re told Isaac doesn’t plan on talking to the cops, never feeling in physical danger. That said, he’s obviously not happy this whole situation happened … especially on a holiday!
