CHOW AUTUMN 2017

The Ice Cream Show

C

ooler weather may be wafting in, but there’s never a bad time for ice cream, am I right? At The Ice Cream Show, there’s something for everyone, even if you aren’t a fan of ice cream in the fall.

Teas, lattes, hot chocolate, Mexican hot chocolate, and the best water around all grace the stage at The Ice Cream Show, and each of them is available hot or iced depending on your preference. Any one of these drinks can be blended with your choice of chocolate ice cream, vanilla or both to make the ultimate dessert drink.

Chai latte ice cream? Mexican hot chocolate ice cream with a shot of espresso? Is this dairy heaven? If it’s not, it’s pretty darn close.

“Most people that like coffee love our espresso shake known as The Barrel Racer,” says owner Lynda Curtis.

“It’s a double shot of espresso mixed with chocolate and vanilla ice cream that you can customize with your own ingredients or with what you like in 18 • THE PULSE • NOVEMBER 2, 2017 • CHOW DINING GUIDE • CHATTANOOGAPULSE.COM

your normal coffee.”

It’s all up to you. Add Irish cream, amaretto, mint, Oreos, even cake mix.

For a lot of purists, they like it plain with just a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top.

The possibilities are endless with over 40 fresh ingredients to choose from for your ice cream. Nuts, fruits, and chocolates are the standard mixins you may expect, but who could resist options like cake mix, marshmallows, cheesecake, pretzels or gummy worms?

Pick your favorites and pile them in a freshly made waffle cone, a scent I’d be clamoring to have as a candle.

Wash it all down with alkaline water if a heavier beverage isn’t what you have in mind. Hydrogen-rich and a powerful PH balancer, an alkaline water is the perfect finish to a run or walk across the walking bridge.

Step off the bridge and step inside The Ice Cream Show for a show you’ll never forget.

Slick’s Burgers B

urger joints have been around forever, and, oftentimes, the “same ol’” burger and fries can get mundane.

Even if a burger and fries really hits the spot, we are usually so busy that our burger-and-fry experiences is facilitated through a drive-through window. However, a local burger place is changing the burger-and-fry scene in Chattanooga.

Slick’s Burgers is a local burger joint with an affinity for “love, peace, and burger grease,” as their motto claims.

Even though Slick’s serves what we could term “traditional American” food, this establishment prides itself in

truly embracing its motto.

Slick’s embodies its use of the word “love” in its motto. Its location at 309 E. Main Street makes Slick’s a staple for daily downtown eats, and its friendly atmosphere caters to everyone, especially the burger and beer connoisseur.

Slick’s is the only restaurant/bar in Chattanooga that serves 16 craft beer and cider from ONLY Tennessee breweries. Slick’s has something for everyone to love.

Slick’s also makes sure that its customers can be at peace and relax after a hard day’s work. Praised as “a cool place to hang out,” Slick’s is more

than just a place to eat. There’s live music on the outdoor stage almost every weekend, and great rock n roll & blues music playing all the time. This eatery allows its customers more than just a burger. It allows customers an experience.

Lastly, Slick’s is the place for a great burger, and their fries…? Well they are to die for. Especially the truffle fries.

At Slick’s, the Certified Black Angus choice cuts are fresh ground daily and are never frozen. They also grind lamb,

and turkey into fresh patties. They make patties every day, all the time, FRESH. And the Idaho Potatoes are hand cut, double blanched and deep fried into perfect fries.

Slick’s also makes its dressings, sauces, sides, and other condiments in house.

Slick’s is more than just another burger joint. Slick’s is a necessary eating experience for Chattanooga residents. You will be missing out if a Slick’s burger isn’t in your future.

Lupi’s Pizza Pies

S

omeone once said that a single large pizza has more total circumference than two medium pizzas combined. Whether that’s true or not doesn’t really matter when you go to Lupi’s; the pizza is so good you’ll forget what circumference even means.

Setting up shop in 1996, Lupi’s Pizza has established a reputation over the years for serving the most authentic hand-tossed pizza in town. They do this by staying true to the literal definition of authentic, sourcing as much of their produce and meat as possible from locally owned farms to serve a consistent and fresh product each and every day.

Part of the success of this pizzeria can also be attributed to the authenticity of the staff, not just the product.

Impeccable customer service will make you feel welcome from the second you walk in, catering to each individual’s idea of good pizza from dough to topping selection. Their unspoken rule is that you should feel better by the time

20 • THE PULSE • NOVEMBER 2, 2017 • CHOW DINING GUIDE • CHATTANOOGAPULSE.COM

you walk out, a formula that’s been enormously successful for 22 years and counting.

With five different locations, Lupi’s continues to expand their services to meet the growing community demand for authentic pizzas, calzones, lasagna, and vegan options. This has led to an increased presence in the catering world, where Lupi’s serves a delicious array of entrées to events both big and small in their iconic mobile unit now a staple of the Chattanooga Market.

Because of their commitment to serving a fresh, consistent, and delicious pizza throughout the community, it’s no wonder Lupi’s has continuously been awarded “best pizza in town” year after year. It’s hard to compete with a restaurant so devoted to their customers and community, and Chattanooga will continue to embrace the hand-tossed goodness that has made Lupi’s Pizza so great since day one.

The Camp House W

hen most people think of coffee shops, they think of coffee and maybe the occasional breakfast pastry. What’s special about that? Not a lot.

However, if you’re looking for a coffee shop that is so much more than “just a coffee shop,” look no further than The Camp House.

Boasting an industrial yet homey feel, you can set up your laptop and enjoy the free Wi-Fi at one of the many tables, or you can grab a cup of coffee and relax on the couches situated next to the immense windows, giving you a view of the innovation district outside.

With coffee roasted by Mad Priest Coffee Roasters, an all-day breakfast menu, a delectable lunch menu that begins at 11 a.m., a mouthwatering Saturday brunch, regular podcasts about city issues, private and public nightly events, live music, Sunday worship services, and so much more, The Camp House really brings the best of all these worlds into one space.

Some coffee shops stop at espressos, and lattes, but The Camp House takes it a step further. You can always get any of these options (and don’t forget to add vanilla, caramel, or chocolate to your latte for full enjoyment), but you also have the option for a manual brew bar, which features a seasonal light roast. The well-loved dark roast is always available, too.

If you’re in the mood for breakfast or the Saturday brunch, then you can’t go wrong with the House Made Belgian Waffle, a time-tested

favorite.

If you’re feeling bolder, opt for The Camp House Belgian Waffle; topped with yogurt, house-made granola, seasonal fruit, and date syrup it’s a waffle and fruit lover’s dream. You can also choose to go for the bacon or veggie quiche, the yogurt and house-made granola, and so much more.

Stopping by for a quick bite on your lunch break or looking to study while dining? The Camp House’s lunch menu is for you. One popular favorite is the Turkey Jive Sandwich, which features turkey, pepper jelly, goat cheese, bacon, and Arugula.

If you’re feeling bolder, you definitely want to try the Bulgogi Bao Burger: a house-made burger topped with collard green Kimchi, BBQ sauce, pickles, and cheese.

Where else in Chattanooga are you going to find a burger like that?

Another popular favorite are the lunch bowls, like the Korean Rice Bowl or the New South Bowl, made with stone ground espresso grits,

edamame succotash, Pimento cheese, and pickled onions. You always have the option to add a protein like chicken, pepper-crusted bacon, a fried egg, pulled pork, or smoked salmon.

In addition to the delectable food and drinks offered at The Camp House, regular podcasts are made to help both local Chattanoogans and people who are moving to Chattanooga feel more connected, informed, and inspired.

Dubbed the “living room of Chattanooga”, The Camp House aims to discuss important issues impacting the city and its residents while also making sure that everyone is informed and included.

With so many different aspects of their business, The Camp House isn’t just a coffee shop, and once you step foot inside those doors and taste the delicious coffee brews and fresh menu items, you’ll embrace that wholeheartedly; it’s guaranteed that you’ll be back for more.

The Hot Chocolatier

I

t’s finally chilly outside and those of us who love the cold couldn’t be happier. There’s nothing better than ringing in the autumn and winter seasons than with a warm cup of happiness, and we all know that happiness is known as hot chocolate.

Thanks to the delicious vision of owners Wendy and Brandon Buckner, at The Hot Chocolatier, you’ll be served a cup of gourmet goodness, if you can choose from the massive selection of flavors, that is, and you can top off the sweetness with a handmade chocolate, truffle, macaroon, or gelato. More than just cool breezes, fall ushers in a variety of fun, new flavors.

“We have some deliciously fall flavored truffles like apple pie, pumpkin spice, salted caramel, sweet potato, and pecan,” says Wendy. They’re also featuring fall flavored gelatos like praline pecan and apple cinnamon sorbet as well as fall favorites like caramel apples, sticky buns, and pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls which will all pair perfectly with a hot cocoa.

30 • THE PULSE • NOVEMBER 2, 2017 • CHOW DINING GUIDE • CHATTANOOGAPULSE.COM

With winter and the holiday season looming, keep The Hot Chocolatier in mind for a deliciously decadent gift basket. Choose a basket and the treats you’d like to fill it with, or call in and let the pros take it off your hands. Pick it up in a nice shiny bow and bestow the gift of beautifully handmade chocolates on a loved one.

“Soon we’ll be offering what we’re calling cookie s’mores,” says Wendy.

It’s simple: pick your cookie, like oatmeal, peanut butter or triple chocolate, and they’ll top it with a homemade toasted marshmallow, a piece of chocolate, and sandwich it all together with a second cookie, making the perfect s’mores without the hassle of building a fire. Maybe you’d prefer an ice cream sandwich? Choose a gelato flavor and your cookies and voila.

There’s never a bad time for hot cocoa or finely made chocolates, so when you’re done ice skating at the Choo Choo in the next few weeks, stop off at The Hot Chocolatier to warm your heart and soul.

Brewhaus Gastropub T

he only German-American gastropub in Chattanooga is Brewhaus, meaning house of beer, located in North Shore.

What is a gastropub you ask? It is set in a casual environment that has a strong emphasis on chef driven food, paired with good beer & wine. Brewhaus is celebrating their sixth year of business and if you haven’t experienced the German inspired tavern for yourself, now is the time. As this is the time of year when many of us start to think more about German culture with Octoberfest just wrapping up.

The kitchen manager, David informs

us that since taking over the kitchen he has been testing out new dishes for the fall and winter months, when their menu truly shines. He says that more soups, stews, and roasted meats can be expected during the upcoming chilly season.

David is trying to get away from the traditional American bar food and lean into the taverns German influence with more traditional German food. Which is exactly what makes Brewhaus unique from other bars around town. Such as the bone-in Kassler Rippchen that is smoked in house, similar to ham, except it is smokier, and less salty.

Brewhaus is the only place you will find schnitzels, which is a fried pork chop that has been beaten thin and served with either a creamy mushroom gravy or topped with a fried egg.

This is a place you will want to visit often as they have 12 taps that rotate daily. Presenting customers with a wide selection of local, regional, and in-

ternational craft beers, and you can always count on something German.

You most certainly won’t find your typical Bud or Coors on tap at this popular hangout.

At Brewhaus you can always count on great beer, delicious food, and an environment you can truly feel at home in.

Lookout Winery

Y

ou may never travel to Italy, but when you drive just 17 minutes outside Chattanooga to the Lookout Winery they successfully bring Italy to Tennessee with their beautiful building, handcrafted wine, wood-fire oven pizza pies, Italian music, and from the balcony, a breath-taking view of the Tennessee River and the different states.

The Bordogna Family has been handcrafting wines since their time in Italy, dating back to the Romans. Arriving to America when owner Chuck Bordogna’s grandfather gained citizenship for his time spent fighting in WWI. Pick the perfect wine with a tasting, as you are given a scorecard with 16 different wines that will help you narrow down your favorites. Once a wine is selected they point you to the perfect pizza that accompanies it, or pick a pizza and be paired with a complimenting wine.

The wines are all handcrafted using their family techniques that has

been passed down over generations.

The wines are all fermented, blended, and bottled on site, and each uniquely crafted to pair with and enhance the pizza. Chuck says, when “growing up Italian, it’s all about wine and food.”

Each pizza pie is made from scratch with freshly imported ingredients; Buffalo Mozzarella from Napoli, flour from Tuscany, and San Marzano plum tomatoes from the base of Mt. Vesuvius, and Chuck’s grandmother’s own French bread dough and secret sauce.

Pies are cooked for six minutes at 800 degrees on a wood-fire oven.

The Lookout Winery is the perfect atmosphere to host all your event needs, ranging from birthdays to wedding receptions and everything in between.

Also, this Thanksgiving you can take it easy, by simply calling to make reservations for their delicious holiday meal: turkey breast, savory gravy, green bean casserole, white sweet corn niblets, cornbread stuffing, and pumpkin pie with a scoop of gelato.
