Atlanta
In Atlanta, Dion was also part of the city's restaurant scene with his brother, Gavin. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described La Med, a Mediterranean restaurant and tapas bar in Roswell, as “the brainchild of Gary Getz and brother-partners Dion and Gavin Abadi,” and pictured Dion in its 1999 coverage of The Bubble Room, a champagne bar in Buckhead. See the press archive.
