I got wind of this crazy situation from Rathbun’s co-owner Cliff Bramble late the night before we went to press at The Sunday Paper, so I couldn’t pursue a story in time to make deadline. But essentially a Web site was selling reservations to the top echelon of Atlanta restaurants for Valentine’s Day. Unthinkable, no? Thank goodness for Jennifer Boozer, PR maven of Buckhead Life Restaurant Group for realizing what was happening. Restaurant owners started communicating, and they were able to get the site shut down. John Kessler of the AJC did a great job of covering it more fully here.
