This year's recipient of the National Restaurant Association's Cornerstone Humanitarian award is Pano Karatassos, owner of Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, which includes local favorites such as Buckhead Diner, Kyma and Veni Vidi Vici.
Karatassos has worked with Share Our Strength, an organization working to end hunger, as well as March of Dimes, and helped with the development of a freshly prepared food program for hunger relief. He has also served on the board of Atlanta’s Table and the Culinary Institute of America.
The Cornerstone Humanitarian award includes a $5,000 prize that Karatassos plans to donate to Share Our Strength.
