About Dante
Since his arrival in Atlanta in 1967, Atlanta has greatly benefited from his very special style of leadership. Following his undergraduate and graduate education, Dante was uniquely educated at the U.S. NAVY "Officer Candidate School" in Newport Rhode Island. He served with distinction as a U.S. Navy SEAL. His self discipline and training skills prepared him for his tenacious efforts to create "Dante's Down the Hatch" in Underground Atlanta. In 2012, Dante and his Club were inducted into the Atlanta Hospitality Hall of Fame.
Dante has been a dedicated member of the Rotary Club of Atlanta for over 27 years. He was an outstanding contributor serving on the Board of Directors for the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau. He has distinguished himself with so many special honors, only his resume can detail them all.
He is a very generous contributor to his Alma Mater, Carleton College, and has always created special opportunities for deserving students to learn the Hospitality business. Dante is a Restaurateur, a musician, a carpenter, a geologist, a philosopher, a vagabond Anthropologist, a biblical Archeologist, and, most importantly, a friend.

Behind the Scenes Brewery Tour and
Meet and Greet with BGS Chapter Leadership
This is our annual beer tasting and brewery tour at our host restaurant, 5 Seasons at the Prado, with David Larkworthy, Executive Chef, Owner and Managing Member of the 5 Seasons Brewing Company.
About Chef David Larkworthy
Over his youth and adult life, David developed an affinity for fine food preparation, especially of the seasonally fresh, organic kind. His father, Chef John Larkworthy, was among the early organic pioneers in the ‘70s. Long before popular interest in “organics” became fashionable, David worked side-by-side with his dad at his restaurant in Connecticut. They developed the principles and techniques that Dave uses today. Later David would study, and cook, in Italy.
David opened the Gourmet Grill, his first restaurant, at the age of 23 and began introducing the concept of featuring local ingredients prepared in a multitude of specials every day. He then went to work with Chef Paul Albrecht and later studied Pastry with Chef Francois Collet.
Chef David Larkworthy opened 5 Seasons Brewing Company in 2001 with the goal of providing cutting-edge, seasonally-appropriate food and drink at fair prices. "We would rather have people here twice a week, than once a month," remarked Dave. This is obvious to the casual observer who recognizes friendly locals each and every visit. When you consider the restaurant can seat over three hundred people, it's amazing how cozy and comfortable you feel.
The national reviewers raved. Zagat Survey rated 5 Seasons “Excellent.” The New York Times rhapsodized 5 Seasons as "Where to eat... Remarkable" and Atlanta Magazine, Atlanta Journal and Creative Loafing christened The 5 as "Best of Atlanta." David and his food have appeared on Good Morning America, Good Morning Atlanta, CNN and has had many recipes published in newspapers and magazines.
Going forward, Dave plans to make community awareness a key component of The 5's mission. "One of the best ways for sustainable farming to be understood by the community is for education to take place. Giving local farmers new distribution channels for food and information is 5 Seasons' passionate contribution to this evolving process. The 5 is a first step in bridging the knowledge gap between the local producers and local consumers of food. We want to establish a meaningful community connection."
In January of 2007 the second 5 Seasons was opened in Alpharetta to provide the people living in the northern part of Atlanta with hand crafted beer and local foods. That same year David was recognized by Starchef.com as one of Atlanta’s rising stars and given a special distinction awarded for sustainability.
In May of 2009 the 5 Seasons Westside was born.
