There’s no one that quite represents Atlanta like legendary hip hop superstar, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist Chris Bridges, also known as Ludacris—so it comes as no surprise that he is the latest Haute Living Los Angeles cover star. To honor the official release of the cover and to kick-off Super Bowl week, Haute Living hosted an intimate dinner for the superstar and some of his closest family and friends, with Louis XIII Cognac and JetSmarter, at American Cut restaurant in Atlanta.

Notable attendees included Ludacris himself with his wife, Eudoxie and his mother; rapper and actor T.I.; rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri; rapper Jeezy; film producer Will Packer and his wife Heather; Louis XIII Vice President Steele Cooper; NBA star Baron Davis; former NFL player Willie Colon, and many more.

Taking over the private dining room on the second level of the restaurant, guests enjoyed a beautiful welcome toast from Haute Living CEO Kamal Hotchandani with flutes of delicate Armand de Brignac—or Ace of Spades—Champagne, before indulging in a bevy of American Cut classics. These included the Caesar salad, crab cakes, salmon and of course, its famous steaks.

Later on in the evening, Louis XIII Brand Ambassador François-Regis Surcin took to the front of the room to address the group, explaining the 100-year-in-a-bottle history of the Cognac, as well as the various flavor notes, guiding the group through the tasting experience. As the night ensued, guests mingled amongst themselves, enjoying the gorgeous Cognac and conversations that went on into the late hours of the night.
