Reynolds International Club kicked off the season with a Pacific Rim-inspired Spring Opener, hosted at the 88 Kitchen & Cocktails in Reynolds Lake Oconee. The event drew over 100 enthusiastic members all eager to savor the flavors of the Pacific, right in their backyard.
The culinary journey was masterfully led by Chef Billy Greenwald alongside Reynolds’ new Culinary Director and Executive Chef Zeb Hartline whose passion for global cuisine was on full display. Guests were treated to a spectacular array of dishes—from artfully prepared sushi by Chef Ferry Nuryadi, to vibrant poke bowls, savory ramen and delicate mochi desserts, each station offered a delicious immersion into Asian-Pacific culinary traditions.
But this evening was more than just a feast—it was a celebration of community and culture as members mingled, laughed and swapped travel stories embodying the very spirit of Reynolds International Club: connecting through cuisine, camaraderie, and a shared appreciation for global exploration.
What began as a small group eight years ago has blossomed into a vibrant community of more than 400 members representing many countries. With every event, the Reynolds International Club continues to grow- fostering friendships and expanding horizons and proving that the best way to experience the world might just be through newfound friends and the joy of food.
