The Big Chill & GrillChattanooga's destination for food, drinks and good times!

For some fun-loving chillin’ and serious grillin’, an establish-ment on Cherokee Boulevard has been a destination of choice for the past 19 years: The Big Chill and Grill. Look for the front patio that seats around 90 guests, with four large red garage doors that are usually open in nice weather. The back patio has seating with a quieter ambience, and about 40 more tables fill in the interior of the restaurant.

To fortify your evening out, you can chow down on a burger, Philly cheesesteak sliders, or their daily specials, and if you’re feeling a little more peckish, try the filet mignon or shrimp stir-fry. The full menu is served until 2:30 a.m. each night, and a small-er menu is offered during week-day lunch hours, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Entrees run from $9 to $24.

For a tasteful Saturday or Sun-day brunch, you can’t miss with the petite filet benedict, eggs benedict Florentine, or every-body’s favorite, shrimp and grits. During weekend brunch, enjoy their one-of-a-kind Bloody Mary bar from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., along with other drink specials.

In addition to culinary offer-ings, The Big Chill and Grill balances a nice array of drinks, including beer, liquor, and their famous frozen daiquiris, all at prices that’ll make you want to buy another round. Happy Hour runs 4 to 8 p.m. daily, in addition

to numerous weekday drink spe-cials: Sunday, $1.50 Miller Lite draft, 4 p.m. to close; Monday, $2 Corona, all night; Tuesday, $2 wine night, 4 to 10 p.m.; Wednes-day, $1.50 domestic longnecks, 4 p.m. to close; and Thursday, $2 Corona, all night.

Something’s happening every night for your entertainment at this North Shore hotspot. On Fri-days and Saturdays starting at 8 p.m., a live DJ brings on the Chill all evening long. For the best ka-raoke venue, the mike turns on at 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, hosted by B.C. Entertainment.

Monday and Thursday are ser-vice industry nights with special prices on drinks for everybody in the industry from 9 p.m. to clos-ing time. Also on Thursdays, live team trivia is in the house with Nooga Nerds Trivia.

“We really take pride in the fact that we’re a place for everyone,

of all types and ages,” says owner Scottie Bowman. “We’re a place where you can bring your fam-ily for a home-cooked meal, and then turn around and sing, dance, or play trivia with your friends. You could spend your entire night in one location and see everyone that you love.”

All the staff at The Big Chill try to emulate Scottie’s spirit and concern for every single one of their guests. “We want our res-taurant to be the first place you think of for a date night, a night out with friends, or where you bring your out-of-town visitors,” says Bowman.

To find your chill, you don’t have to go far. The Big Chill sup-plies food, drink, and entertain-ment seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. at 103 Cherokee Blvd. Visit facebook.com/big-chillandgrill or bigchillandgrill.com, or call (423) 267-2445.

212 MarketFor many tourists, one of the

first restaurants they notice down-town is 212 Market. Located just a block or so away from the Tennes-see Aquarium, it has been inviting visitors to come sample their great food since 1992. But what you may not know is that nearly 80 percent of their customers are local, who have been coming back time and time again for the fantastic food and great service.

212 Market is family-owned by sisters Sally and Susan Moses, who operate as owner and chef, respectively. The two grew up in a military family, where they learned

early on to eat what was available. The same mentality of locality, re-sourcefulness and hospitality car-ries into every aspect of the restau-rant, and you can feel it as you walk through the door.

The restaurant’s décor is warm and simple, with sunlight pouring through the windows and wild-flowers on the wooden tables. Sally greeted me with a friendly smile and informed me that this very newspaper was started in part by two of her previously-employed busboys.

This isn’t the only thing con-necting 212 Market to the commu-nity: everything 212 Market serves

is locally grown, from the home-made sorbet made with seasonal fruits to the locally brewed beers to the freshly-caught salmon. The chefs work with seasonal ingredi-ents and that their specials change everyday. Everything is made from scratch, and any leftovers are donat-ed to the Chattanooga Food Bank. Some recipes have stayed the same since day one, such as the seafood bisque, the menu item Sally be-lieves everybody should try.

The wine list in 212 Market has earned the restaurant a place on

the Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence winners’ list for nine-teen years, boasting regional and national brands. Wine is also half-priced on Tuesdays.

The hard work and hospitality of 212 Market is evident in every bite. And speaking of hospitality, they now offer 25 percent off menu items along with some great drink specials every Sunday and Monday for those that work in the service industry. It’s their way of saying thanks to those that make all of Chattanooga’s restaurants great.

Terra MáeUntil recently, Terra Máe was

well known as an Appalachian bis-tro located within the Stone Fort Inn. The times, they are a chang-ing. Now the Stone Fort Inn has become the posh Dwell Hotel, and Terra Máe is expanding their menu and finding new purpose, welcom-ing diners to experience distinct flavors from around the world with-out leaving Chattanooga.

Moving beyond the single cui-sine thinking, Executive Chef Hardin Cowan now seeks to pair bold, unique flavors to create inter-nationally-inspired dishes. Given Cowan’s use of exotic ingredients,

maintaining the same farm-to-ta-ble aspect previously used in the Appalachian bistro can be more of a challenge; however, Cowan says that the restaurant still sources as much local produce and goods as possible.

Some of Cowan’s current concoc-tions include seared filet mignon with peanut hummus, diver scal-lops with green curry-jasmine rice, and white chocolate black pepper ice cream. Diners feeling especially adventurous can place themselves completely in Cowan’s hands at the Chef’s Table, where Cowen creates three, five, or seven courses of his choosing. The meals will be differ-

ent every time, making each one a unique, eclectic, and memorable experience.

Cowan stated that diners first “taste with their eyes,” explaining why the restaurant places equal im-portance on beautiful presentation as well as inspiring taste. The de-signer, owner Seija Ojanpera, also subscribe to this belief: Terra Máe’s décor is a modern take on ‘50s retro, with clean pastels, spherical chandeliers and gold-framed verti-cal planters on the walls; giving the

dining room an air of both luxury and nostalgia. Cowan said that the seating is designed with hospital-ity in mind, giving servers time to interact with guests table-to-table.

What can customers expect from a dining experience at Terra Máe? “Great flavors and five star ser-vice,” Cowan said. “Hopefully a little something to push you out of your comfort zone.”

Reservations can be made by calling (423) 710-2925 or at opent-able.com/terramae.

Fiamma Pizza Co.New to the Northshore of

Chattanooga is Fiamma Pizza Company at 405 North Market Street. A traditional Neapolitan Pizzeria where all the pizzas are cooked in a wood burning Acun-to oven.

Lakeshore Grille

Hidden away, above Lake Shore Marina on Chickamauga Lake, there sits a family owned and operated restaurant unmatched in its beauty.

The Lakeshore Grille has been serving Chattanoogans since March of 2013. Open from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, on Saturday from 3 p.m. to Midnight, and on Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Lakeshore Grille serves only the freshest food to discerning diners. With a brunch on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., they offer delectable creations from an ever-evolving menu.

Each and every meal is prepared the moment you order it from scratch. While this may mean a longer wait time, the view from the dining room or deck is more than beautiful enough to keep any par-ty entertained. You never have to worry about how long your dinner has been sitting under a heat lamp.

As summer begins, new menu preparations of the tried-and-true dishes have come about, includ-

ing watermelon salsa, new pork chops and even shrimp and mussel fettuccini. Among the new dishes is one item that is sure to please anyone dining at the restaurant: the Crab Crusted Snapper, topped with a magnificent pineapple salsa and served with almond rice and seasonal vegetables.

The chef behind these innova-tive dishes, Robert Barclift, has always dreamed of creating his own menus. His father Richard re-members Robert watching hours of cooking shows on television and remembers how his son always wanted to be a chef. It is this life-long passion that has led him to Lakeshore Grille with his entire family.

Lakeshore Grille offers Chatta-noogans some of the freshest and finest cuisine in the city while providing one of the most beauti-ful surroundings a person could hope for while dining on steak or seafood. Their thoughtful prepara-tions and delectable foods make for an unforgettable experience of anyone lucky enough to dine here.

Sticky Fingers"The best ribs in town” is

not a claim to make lightly, but for four years running Sticky Fingers has earned that very designation from Chattanooga’s “Best of the Best” competition and with an eye for detail and over two decades of experience, it’s safe to say they have earned that reputation fairly.

Of the four main regional styles of barbecue, Sticky Fingers specializes in “Memphis style” ribs where ribs are slow-cooked (either dry or wet) in a pit. The St. Louis cut ribs are smoked for six and a half hours and every rib is checked for “bone-off” status before being served, meaning

that the meat isn’t done until it falls effortlessly from the bone.

Sticky Fingers has a “no-reheat-ing” policy which simply means that their barbecue is served fresh off the pit, or “pit to plate” as they say around the kitchen, ensuring the highest quality and tenderest meat. The hungry customer has a choice of five signature sauces/dry rubs. Memphis Style Wet or Memphis Original is for the classic connois-seur while Carolina Sweet is their honey-based best seller.

Southern Heat features a dash of fiery habanero for just the right amount of kick. Tennessee Whis-key is a traditional sauce with a little

hint of “something extra” and the Memphis Style Dry rub is a classic mustard based preparation with a (secret) combination of seasonings and spices.

Sticky Fingers isn’t just ribs though. The restaurant features an impressive array of sandwiches, burgers, salads, appetizers and all the traditional sides one comes to expect with excellent barbecue. There are two locations (downtown and Hamilton Place) offering a com-fortable, nostalgic sit-down dining

experience. The downtown location also features a 100-person banquet room for special events.

In addition to their success as a brick and mortar restaurant, Sticky Fingers also runs a highly successful, popular catering service and accom-modate virtually any kind of event from weddings to corporate retreats. Their delivery service is also handy if you just can’t make it out of the office and their email club means a free Sticky Fingers dinner on your birthday.

Chattabrewga 2016Chattabrewga brings the best of craft beer to the Scenic City

Chattabrewga, formerly the Chattanooga Craft Beer Festival, takes a new turn this year. The fes-tival will be showcasing limited re-lease and hard-to-find craft beers, the “white whales” that have come to epitomize the intrigue surround-ing the craft beer revolution.

In addition to being some of the most sought after beers on the U.S. craft beer scene, the ‘white whales’ are also the most impres-sive showcase of the creativity and artistry of craft breweries.

For craft beer geeks and novices alike, Chattabrewga 2016 promises to pique the interest and dazzle the palate of anyone who values a truly artisan product.

“The spectrum of craft beers presently available in the U.S. is astonishing,” says Joe Winland, owner of Heaven&Ale and sponsor of Chattabrewga. “Craft brewers demonstrate unparalleled creativ-ity, and they’re able to incorpo-rate aspects of spirit-making and wine-making into their craft beers, which appeals to all sorts of tastes and preferences.

“You’ll never find a bourbon or a red wine that evokes the flavor of beer, but there are some excellent beers inspired by and infused with bourbon or wine, among other spir-its, resulting in unique, complex flavors," Winland explains. “And we’re fortunate that Chattabrewga will put those styles of craft beer at the forefront of the festival to cre-ate a really interesting event for our

community.”Now in its fourth year, Chatta-

brewga will feature a diverse selec-tion of rare, specialty, and experi-mental beers from local, regional, and national craft breweries.

“Chattabrewga will prove to be the best beer festival and tast-ing Chattanooga has ever seen,” says Matt Leff, owner of Rhizome Productions and founder of Chat-tabrewga. “While we have been doing this for the past three years, we are going back to our real goals, which is to create a small, intimate festival where guests can sample craft beers that they may never find again.”

Chattabrewga takes place on Friday, June 4th from Noon until 5 p.m. at the First Tennessee Pa-vilion. Each guest will receive a commemorative tasting glass, and samples are unlimited.

VIP Tickets are also available and will grant guests access to the festival 30 minutes early and a lounge area, which will feature cui-

sine from Terminal BrewHouse, Beast & Barrel, Hair of the Dog, and VIP only craft beers from Ter-minal BrewHouse, the festival’s main sponsor.

With no token exchanges, long lines, or gratuitous pours, Chatta-brewga is an easygoing event that is designed to allow people to ex-perience and enjoy everything the festival has to offer, while keeping craft beer the obvious highlight.

“There’s a beer drinker inside of everyone,” muses Johnny Shields of Rhizome Productions, “and Chattabrewga is the sort of event to tease that person out.”

Several of Chattanooga’s best food trucks will be on hand, so come hungry. Local folk/Ameri-cana band Tab Spencer will per-form live, fresh off the release of the first single from their new al-bum. Designated Driver tickets are also available and water is free. Tickets are on sale now, but they are limited and the event is likely to sell out quickly.

The ScoopBe preprared for

the BEST craft beer festival and tasting

in town. Ticket includes all samples,

no tokens needed.

Raw Bar & Grill

The hottest dance club and live music in town takes place at the RAW Bar and Grill—the place to be at 409 Market Street, featur-ing food, drinks, and entertain-ment like nowhere else in Chat-tanooga. Open Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 3 a.m., RAW features solo acts and groups from the local area and around the region, with the latest sounds in a broad variety of styles and genres every Friday and Saturday night, and even sometimes during the week.

The 5000-square-foot venue has a huge dance area on the sec-ond floor with two DJs and a VIP area overlooking the dance floor. The sound system and lighting are state-of-the-art, and with 3D-video-mapped walls, the scene is unforgettable.

With Happy Hour 4 to 10 p.m. every night, liquor and wine are half-price and beer is $1 off. Ser-vice industry workers have spe-cial prices on drinks after 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and several

nights have themes: Monday, Monday Night Football with a free football board; Monday-Wednesday, beer pong and corn hole; Tuesday-Wednesday, live DJ and karaoke.

The full menu, served till 2:30 a.m., includes an amazing variety of pizzas, including make-your-own, as well as calzones and hoa-gies. The wings, chicken tenders, and side orders highlight a large array of appetizers as well.

Owner Jim Striker, a long-time impresario of Chattanooga clubs and restaurants, puts his decades of experience to work in booking entertainment and fine-tuning the club’s ambiance. A recent ma-jor remodel has brought new food options and made a great scene even better. RAW brings the good times and keeps them coming for guests who want a special night out every time.

Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom

If the sound of pepperoni rolls, spaghetti pie, and Chicago-style deep dish pizza gets your mouth watering, then you’ve just found your spot for dinner tonight: Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom. With a wide array of appetizers like Buf-falo Chicken Rolls, Italian Nachos, and Jalapeño Cheese Pretzels, get-ting together with friends for some apps and beers couldn’t be more delicious—or filling!

“Pepperoni Rolls and Buffalo Chicken Rolls are our top two sell-ing appetizers,” says general man-ager Lauren Gholz. “I can honest-ly say that I have never had a single complaint about either of them. Nothing is a bad choice as every-thing is made fresh.”

Between the lineup of appe-tizers, the equally enticing Tav-ern Bites, and the massive array of beers, you’ll definitely have to make more than one trip with whoever will go with you—heck, go alone! Pick it up yourself by

placing a to-go order, or have Din-ner Delivered.

Up for a challenge? Try joining the World Beer Tour and experi-ence different beer styles from all over the world. Acquire prizes along the way from coolers to coasters to glass sets, and get your picture on the Wall of Foam after completing 110 different beers.

Whether you’re interested in the Tour or not, the mind-blow-ing variety of 36 draft beers on tap—twelve of which are always rotating—and 74 bottles, twelve of those rotating as well, will have you stepping out of all sorts of beer comfort zones.

And if you aren’t sure what to or-der for your meal, try the Oh My Spaghetti Pie! Unlike any other menu item in town, this dish is customizable with a choice of four sauces made in house and the op-tion to add chicken, spicy link sau-sage, or a caprese topping. It’ll have you licking your lips and reaching for a nice Stone IPA.

Dish T'Pass Cooking School & Catering Co.Sarah Hooper and Amanda

Varnell have been serving their brand of “foodlove” to the Tennes-see Valley for the past three-and-a-half years. Since December of 2012, Dish T’Pass Cooking School & Catering Co. has focused its op-erations on corporate and nonprof-it clients offering boxed and hot lunches, after-hours events, cook-ing classes and team building from its space on the first floor of Chat-tanooga Workspace building.

In fact, the company just won the Small Business of the Year Award 2016 from the Chattanooga

Area Chamber of Commerce and is primed to expand.

On June 1st, Dish T’Pass will be opening its new Grab & Go Café—geared towards the busy professional—located on the bot-tom floor of The 300 Building at the corner of 6th and Pine streets. The new business will be offering favorites catering clients have come to expect and adding new flavors of sandwiches and salads, as well as breakfast items such as scones, muffins, quiches, frittatas, and hot coffee.

Plans are in the works for the

after-work crowd to have cold beer in addition to take and bake dinner items such as chicken pot pies, var-ious casseroles, stuffed potatoes, sweet chili pork tenderloin, and as-sorted vegetable side dishes.

Patrons can sit and enjoy the scratch cooking from the outdoor seating on the beautiful wrap-around patio and then head home with fresh baked goods. The mix-ture of healthy food and comfort food all made with fresh whole food should make customers hap-py and that’s what Varnell is count-ing on.

“The expression ‘dish to pass’ is synonymous with heirloom recipes and sharing the best part of you,” she says. “It’s a good representa-tion of who Sarah and I are. We’ve been practicing hospitality for 20 years so it’s been an easy transition to pass on to Chattanooga what we’ve been sharing with family and friends for decades.”

For more information on Dish T’Pass visit their website at disht-pass.com or give them a call at (423) 309-5353. And, of course, they’re easy to find on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Slick's BurgersThe first thing you notice

when you walk into Slick’s new restaurant on Main St. is the light. Tall ceilings loom over the bar and seating areas. Up top, a handful of sky-light windows let in the after-noon sunshine. The interior decor mimics the iconic “burger joint” of a bygone era. Visualize old license plates, vintage porcelain advertis-ing signs, a unique coca-cola wall mural and you will have a pretty good indication of Slick’s. The kind of decoration that brings nos-talgia to life.

The focal point, a 1954 Spar-tan Imperial Mansion trailer, sits

pretty, gleaming. The bar, packed with 16 different taps on a rotating list, does double duty as an indoor and outdoor bar-top. The service is welcoming, friendly and excited. “It’s your first time? Perfect, come on and in and let us show you how we do things.”

The beginning of Slick’s started with co-owners Eric Taslimi and Robb Peterson’s partnership by uti-lizing each other’s talents to bring some of the most elegant wine din-ners to Chattanooga through their catering company in 2012.

But knowing that their talents only reached those people who hired them for these special events

got them thinking of something a little different. Wanting to make a fresh, hand ground burger for peo-ple to enjoy, they created a one of a kind restaurant and threw a curve-ball into the mix by cooking their daily fresh meat and hand cut fries in a 1954 Spartan Imperial Man-sion trailer, custom outfitted to be Slick’s Kitchen.

Since then, Slick’s on Main St. has been born and gleams. They pride themselves on making all food from scratch every day. They

grind their own meat (beef, lamb, turkey) daily, hand cut their fries daily and whip up all their own sauces, dressings, slaws, and all other fare fresh. Slick’s is also a proud carrier of neighborhood favorite and artisan baker, Nied-lov’s. And for you veggie types out there, they have a killer veggie burger, too.

So head in, enjoy your stop and let them show you around. On Main St., it’s Slick’s way or the highway.


The Ice Cream Show

The secret’s in the combi-nation

For seven years now, The Ice Cream Show has been keeping people happy at the foot of the Walnut Street Bridge (near the Hunter Museum of American Art), by offering a chance for you to create your own unique flavor from over 17,000 delicious combi-nations. Simply put, you are the master of your dessert destiny.

Start the process by choosing your base—chocolate or vanilla ice cream, or fat-free, sugar-free, dairy-free frozen yogurt. You then get to choose from over 40 ingre-dients, including fresh fruits, cookie crumbles, nuts and can-dies.

After you’ve picked the perfect ingredient combination, employ-ees blend them for you in a spe-cial machine. You can eat it in a cup or one of their fresh-baked waffle cones. If you aren’t up for the cone or the cup, you can also choose to turn your flavor creation into a milkshake.

If you have trouble deciding on your ideal flavor combination, there are many pre-selected ver-sions to choose from. The most popular is a combination of pea-nut butter, cookie dough, and Oreo cookie pieces.

The Ice Cream Show also of-fers 100-percent-fruit smoothies. Make one into a Summer Sleigh Ride by adding a scoop of frozen yogurt and whipped cream! They also have gourmet roast coffee and lattes you can cool down by order-ing the iced option. Need a little pep in your step? Try out the Bar-rel Racer, their coffee shake with a double-shot of espresso.

Both indoor and shaded out-door patio seating are available, great for enjoying icy treats on a hot summer day or hosting par-ties. They also offer free Wi-Fi, and gift cards are available for all the ice cream lovers in your life.

You can get the ultimate ice cream experience at 129 Walnut Street from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mon-day through Saturday, and from 1 p.m. till 11 p.m. on Sundays

Lupi's Pizza

Chattanooga is a unique city with unique people. Yes, everyone thinks that about his or her own city, but the truth is, Chattanooga has some specialties other cities just can’t offer. One of those spe-cialties being Lupi’s Pizza.

With five Chattanooga-based locations, Lupi’s is one thing no one outside of our quirky town can replicate. Built on local goods and chill vibes, Lupi’s is the per-fect place to grab a bite with your family or on a first date—because if they don’t like pizza, you don’t want to marry them.

Lupi’s has been thriving in its downtown location for 20 years. They celebrated their 20th anni-versary on March 6, and that got us at The Pulse wondering, “How much has Lupi’s changed in 20 years?”

“We still use the same flour, cheese, and tomato sauce we’ve been using since 1996,” says owner Dorris Shober. Obviously all in-gredients are fresh and not from

1996 itself, but you get the drift. Why fix what’s not broken? The three most important ingredients in the pizza have remained tried and true since ’96 and no one’s complaining. No one’s complain-ing about their additions eithers, which include lasagna, mini-zones (mini versions of their football-sized calzones), whole wheat dough, homemade mozzarella, and homemade salad dressings.

On your way home and dread-ing the idea of putting an entire meal together? Take Lupi’s home with you with their Take and Bake option. “You call in your take and bake order, and pick up the raw pizza. Preheat your oven and just pop it in for dinner!” says Shober.

Knowing that you didn’t have to do anything but make a phone call for dinner, and knowing the ingre-dients are fresh and local—many ingredients are from within 100 miles of Chattanooga—makes you happy. And pizza makes everyone happy. So give the people what they want—Give them Lupi’s!

Debarge Vineyards & WineryDeBarge Winery was started

four years ago when winemaker and owner Ray DeBarge finally released his public label after de-cades of private winemaking ex-perience. DeBarge specializes in traditional, old-world-inspired dry wines. The main thing that makes this wine unique in the region is that almost none of the traditional grape varietals are grown in the Southeast yet.

DeBarge is one of just a hand-ful of wineries that have planted things like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah and is the only winery in

the Southeast growing Albariño (a typical North-Spanish grape that is quickly gaining popularity in res-taurants around the world).

“As director of the tasting pro-gram, my main goal at this point is public education,” says Tim Hinck. “Many of our customers are either new to wine entirely, or are just be-ginning their love affair with wine. I am excited about that process and it really brings me enjoyment to watch people get introduced to new flavors and aromas that they never knew could possibly exist in a glass of wine. For many of our custom-ers, drinking DeBarge wine is the first time they have ventured from

sweet wine territory into the daunt-ing world of traditional ‘serious’ wines. I want to make that experi-ence as friendly, painless, and un-pretentious as possible.”

Tastings are conducted on Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 to 8 p.m. (the only place you can buy wine on a Sunday in Chattanooga). The tasting room is easy to find, right near the Main Street fire station on Rossville Avenue on the Southside. You can follow @debargewines on Twitter for other special tastings and events.

And speaking of events, this Sunday, the 22nd, DeBarge Win-

ery will be presenting a com-pletely unique pairing event. Lo-cal composer and concert pianist Tim Hinck will be collaborating with Rebecca Barron (head chef at St John’s Restaurant) to present a dinner party in which each of the dishes is paired with a specific piece of music that he has written for this event, and a specific glass of DeBarge wine.

The evening begins at 5:30 with cocktails on the lawn featuring Chattanooga Whiskey, and then the seated, three-course dinner inside the winery. Tickets for the night are $75 and can be purchased at de-bargedinnerparty.splashthat.com

Mojo Burrito

Tf you live in Chatta-nooga and haven’t been to Mojo Burrito yet, we know what you’re doing tonight! With three locations in Red Bank, St. Elmo, and East Brainerd—and soon to be announced in Hixson—Mojo Burrito is the place for burritos, nachos, quesadil-las, you name it!

“We’re not Mexican food,” says owner Eve Williams. “We’re…a twist on Mexican influence.” And it’s a twist that Chattanoogans love. The best part about the Mojo menu is no one is left out.

“Our menu is vegetarian-based and gluten and veg-an friendly,” says Williams.

“Of course we have meats available, but there’s been no mingling of veggies and meats or anything like that. We’re very conscious of peo-ple’s needs.” Everything has the ability to be a vegetarian meal, but special vegetar-ian options like Papa Bear’s Vegetarian Chili are sure to please!

Whether you try the load-ed queso—thick and creamy queso dip with garlic-sau-téed ground chuck and pico de gallo—or the customer-favorite Enchaladito—a mas-sive jalapeno-cheddar burrito stuffed with St. Elmo’s Fire Chicken, black beans, Mon-terey jack cheese, pico de gallo, and jalapenos served on rice and drizzled in queso

and zesty red sauce—you won’t be disappointed.

Swing by on a Friday to experience the weekly one-day deliciousness that are Mojo Burrito Pork Tacos. Dry-rubbed and roasted for twelve hours on Thursday night, this Friday treat has customers coming back for more each week.

If you’re a true lover of ta-cos, why not have Mojo cater your next event? Tell Mojo what you want from the menu and they’ll drop it off, or they’ll set it up and staff the event for you!

Whether you’re coming for lunch or dinner, dollar tacos, or a good beer, Mojo Burrito is always happy to roll one for you!
