Festival puts focus on Atlanta's 'vibrant' underground food scene

Sam Flemming spent more than 20 years living in Asia, where he was struck by that region’s passion for food.

When he moved here, he sought out Atlanta’s underground food scene, which he describes as “vibrant”, but “not always easy to find, and that’s why we set up the Punk Foodie platform,” he said.

It was a project that combined his passion for food and his career tracking social media content. The Punk Foodie calendar and Instagram account combs social media to compile a list of food truck appearances and pop-up dining in Atlanta.
