Why should drivers who know South Fulton Parkway by heart give this video three minutes? Because Attorney Brian Poe of Georgia Injury Attorneys brings all three parts together—the roadway’s dangers, footage of a serious crash’s aftermath, and a powerful reminder that even a familiar drive demands full attention. #drivesafelygeorgia

As Saturday’s sold-out 16th Annual RICE Awards approaches, we salute Attorney Jamie Cox, Georgia Injury Attorneys’ Managing Partner and the legal engine behind our firm.

Her husband, Attorney Brian Poe, serves as RICE Chairman. Together, they bring our firm’s commitment to clients and community onto the RICE stage each year.

Georgia Injury Attorneys proudly sponsors the Lifetime Achievement Awards. Jamie has presented these honors to Monica Kaufman Pearson, Xernona Clayton, and former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. This year, she will present to former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, while Attorney Poe will present to Warrick Dunn—the two youngest Lifetime Achievement recipients in RICE Awards history.

The RICE Board is recognizing their extraordinary impact now, even as both continue reaching higher.

Thank you to Founder & CEO Dr. C. Chandon Carter and the RICE Board for your trust, and to everyone supporting RICE’s mission. Jamie, we celebrate the leadership and dedication you bring to our clients, our team, and our community.

WELCOME BACK, CHEF DEBORAH VANTRECE!

The 16th Annual RICE Awards is proud to welcome back acclaimed culinary icon Chef Deborah VanTrece, who will once again bring her extraordinary culinary talents to our celebration on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Atlanta City Hall.

A James Beard Award-nominated chef, best-selling cookbook author, restaurateur, and Founder & CEO of the VanTrece Hospitality Group, Chef VanTrece has become one of the South’s most respected culinary voices. Her award-winning restaurant portfolio includes Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours and Oreatha’s at The Point, and she was selected as the curating chef for the American Express Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Her culinary influence has earned national recognition, with appearances and features on NBC’s TODAY, Good Morning America, The Rachael Ray Show, The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, NPR, Garden & Gun, and Condé Nast Traveler. She has also competed—and won—on Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games.

Beyond the kitchen, Chef VanTrece is a dedicated mentor and community advocate, particularly for women and emerging chefs of color. During the COVID-19 pandemic, The Coca-Cola Company recognized her and her team with a $10,000 award for their service and response to the community.

In 2024, the RICE Awards proudly honored Chef Deborah VanTrece as a TORCH Award Honoree. Now, her journey with us comes full circle as she returns to create and serve the culinary experience for our guests at our milestone Sweet 16 Celebration.

From TORCH Honoree to returning RICE Awards Chef, we are honored to have Chef Deborah VanTrece back with the RICE family as we celebrate 16 years of Community Excellence!
