Summary: If you’ve been listening to the show for a while you probably get the gist that the stories of Atlanta chefs, restaurant and business owners, and generally wonderful people get told around here. However, the one thing that all of us know about our beautiful city is that it’s packed with people. Tons. Close to 6 million, in fact. Everyone in this city needs food. All of us. The Atlanta Community Food Bank is one of the largest operations in the country — feeding 750,000 people over 60 million meals EVERY. YEAR. Across 29 counties. Talk about people making Atlanta the greatest city for eaters — by feeding them. These folks, along with over 700 partners, are true heroes. I stopped by to speak with Kyle Waide — President & CEO of the ACFB. I got to know him a little bit and then we got into how the organization mobilizes to feed those in need around the Greater Atlanta area.
