On August 25, world-renowned chefs John Folse and Rick Tramonto announced their partnership and the formation of Home on the Range: Folse Tramonto Restaurant Development, LLC.
Their first joint venture will be Restaurant R’evolution, set to open in 2011 in the Royal Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans. Restaurant R’evolution is being designed by Bill Johnson of The Johnson Studio in Atlanta and will offer contemporary Creole cuisine—a marriage of Folse’s classic Southern approach and Tramonto’s contemporary new world style.
Chef John Folse and team tapped Peter Mayer to create the invitation for Restaurant R’evolution’s press event at the historic Cabildo and the reception at the Royal Sonesta Hotel. Peter Mayer’s public relations team secured several placements in key publications to coincide with the day of the announcement including features in The Times-Picayune, the Chicago Tribune, Time Out Chicago and Chicago magazine as well as television news coverage in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. News coverage of the announcement is still rolling in with hits from the Associated Press, Nation’s Restaurant News, “Grub Street Chicago,” Yahoo! News, Luxist.com and an upcoming placement in Esquire magazine.
