Eating With Erica
Food. Hosting.Dining. A considered life at the table.
Eating With Erica is an Atlanta-based culinary and lifestyle platform. Erica A. Thomas founded it to champion the practice of cooking, hosting, and gathering with intention.
Erica established the brand in 2013, and at first it simply documented the Atlanta restaurant scene. Since then, it has grown into a multi-city editorial and experiential platform. Today, it spans simple yet sophisticated recipe development, restaurant coverage that follows clear standards rather than passing trends, and curated dining experiences.
Erica develops refined, repeatable recipes that elevate everyday cooking without unnecessary complication. Moreover, her work reflects a belief that sophistication does not require excess — only clarity, preparation, and discipline. As a result, she teaches readers how to cook with confidence and host with ease.
Furthermore, experience and discernment guide her restaurant and fine-dining coverage, which consistently highlights quality, execution, and atmosphere over fleeting trends.
Over the past two years, Eating With Erica has produced 48 curated dinner parties across four cities, partnering with chefs and restaurants to design intimate, thoughtfully executed gatherings rooted in regional cuisine and intentional hospitality.
Through the Eating With Erica Supper Club, the brand also produces private, chef-led dining experiences for members and vetted guests. Notably, one guiding philosophy shapes each gathering:
Preparation creates ease.
Every menu serves a clear intention.
Each table invites guests to linger and truly live at it.
Above all, hospitality remains both a craft and a cultural expression.
Erica’s work regularly appears in national media, including Good Morning America, Time, Food & Wine, Eater, and Fox 5, and she frequently collaborates with leading hospitality and lifestyle brands.
Eating With Erica is a culinary and lifestyle platform centered on the practice of cooking, hosting, and gathering with intention.
