If you’ve ever strolled through the quaint neighborhood of Five Points, you’ve already seen the impact Jerry Slater has had on the food scene in Athens, Georgia. His restaurants - The Expat and Slater’s Steakhouse are cornerstones in the dining ecosystem of Athens. Along with his wife and business partner Krista, The Slaters’ empire reaches beyond the limits of Five Points. The Lark Winespace brings responsibly sourced wine to Prince Avenue, and Nighthawks Lounge - the Kempt crew’s favorite spot - takes cocktails to another level on the outskirts of Boulevard.

For Jerry, there’s always something in Athens worth dressing up for, and at Kempt we couldn’t agree more. Browse some of Jerry’s favorites styles below, and next time you’re at Nighthawks and the trains rolls by, ask for a shot of Aquavit—- trust us.
