Southern Burger Co. From gourmet food truck to Ooltewah burger and beer destination

F

ive years ago, the Southern Burger Co. food truck began slinging the meanest gourmet burgers the streets of Chattanooga had ever seen. Since then, they’ve changed some—mainly by opening a permanent location in Ooltewah two years ago—but still happily provide for the carnivorous needs of the masses.

And aside from getting their own space, they’ve also kept up with the times, featuring a newly expanded, seasonal menu which includes new appetizers, a Chorizo Burger and a Raleigh Burger, and plans to add hand-dipped milk shakes with out-of-the-ordinary flavors.

“We’re always listening to what our guests want, and trying to offer something different than your run-of-the-mill burger joint,” says owner Christian Siler. “I’ve wanted to do shakes for a long time, and our guests are definitely asking. It’s on our list; I just want to make sure we’re ready to handle the demand!”

Southern Burger Co.’s “thing” is fresh ingredients and house-made taste, so they work a bit differently. First, they try to make all of their own ingredients, which means fresh grinding their own beef, cutting their own fries, making their own ketchup, mustard, and all other sauces. The things they don’t make they try to buy

locally or regionally, so their buns are from Niedlov’s Breadworks, pickles are Wickles Pickles from Alabama, and they use Southern favorite Duke’s mayo.

Let’s not forget the beer. They feature 14 rotating craft beer taps, four nitro taps (for stouts, for example), and over 40 bottled beers. “Does anything else scream ‘American Summer’ as loudly as a burger and a beer?” asks Siler.

“We’ve really lined up some good Hefeweizens and summer ales to cool down the hot and humid Tennessee summers.”

But in many ways, Southern Burger Co. is a homecoming. “I’m from Ooltewah, and I’m still glad I had the opportunity to come back home and open this location,” notes Siler. “We’re definitely seeing more people come through the door. We’ve got a crowd for Family Night, Trivia Night is bursting at

the seams, and lunch has begun to go on a wait.”

Then there’s something they like to call “vision.” You work hard; they know that. So, they’ve created a place for you to relax and enjoy good times with friends and family. Whether you drop by on your way home from work or plan a night out with the family, stop in to get a delicious burger and craft beer with fantastic service. In the end, head home happier. That’s what they strive for.

With the two-year anniversary coming up of opening their Ooltewah location, you can be sure they’ll be throwing a huge celebration party. Keep up with their plans, along with all sorts of updates and special, by following them on Facebook (facebook. com/SBCOoltewah), on Twitter (@sburgerco), and of course on the web at southernburgerco.com

Acropolis Bringing the Mediterranean to Chattanooga

T

he Acropolis Mediterranean Grill has been at Hamilton Place Mall for so long (20 years!), it’s become a fixture there. But when you go inside, you’ll find that it’s fresher than ever. That’s the result of both a remodeling of the restaurant and a refreshing of the menu, all instigated by Nick Kyriakidis, son of founder Teddy. There’s now a full bar, an expanded patio and a new menu that takes the traditions of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine and uses locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that are unique in Chattanooga.

If, like myself, you are unfamiliar with Greek food, you might be a little hesitant when first confronted with the menu at Acropolis. In that case, just ask the staff for help and they’ll happily explain what goes into each dish and help you select something that you’ll love.

In my case, it was recommended that I try the Mediterranean egg

rolls for an appetizer, and the lamb for my entree. These turned out to be excellent choices. The egg rolls were very different from anything I’d ever had before (in a good way), and the sauce that came with them was fantastic.

The braised lamb shank was, in a word, incredible. Tender and perfectly cooked, it literally fell off the bone as I ate it. Even my girlfriend (who is from Bulgaria, right next door to Greece), and fancies herself a lamb “expert,” was impressed. She thought it was “spiced perfectly.”

Even the next day, when she reheated the leftovers for lunch, she informed me that, “There’s flavor in every bite. Something you can’t say about meat on the bone very often.”

So, if you are craving something different from a chain restaurant… something that’s locally sourced and family-owned and operated, the Acropolis Mediterranean Grill is highly recommended.

Bluewater Grille Come downtown and experience a meal you will never forget

L

ocated on Broad Street in the heart of downtown, Bluewater Grille has provided Chattanooga with the city’s freshest seafood for nine years. Their historic building, standing since the late 1800s, features a chic decor and atmosphere perfect for any event from a casual night out on the town to a pre-prom dinner or a post-graduation meal.

Bring your friends and family to Bluewater Grille and experience a meal you will never forget.

Featuring fish flown in from all over the world and hand cut by a team of Chattanooga’s top chefs, Bluewater Grille offers unique entrées that satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Just in time for their ninth anniversary, Executive Chef Scott Eiselstein helped re-engineer their menu to focus on Chattanooga’s local community.

With new dishes and a rich dedication to local ingredients, Bluewater Grille remains a hot destination during summer’s cool nights. Prepare yourself for Bluewater Grille’s Market Fresh Sheets. The newly introduced, mouth-watering, biweekly specials offer visitors the chance to spice up their meal with original dishes that focus on local markets and alternative types of fish. Whether you chose an appetizer or an entrée, the Market Fresh Sheets will please your palate with exciting new tastes.

Start your meal off right with a Charcuterie & Cheese appetizer. Shaved prosciutto, artisanal salami and house-cured salmon

mixed with brie and the melt-inyour-mouth hazelnut-crusted goat cheese creates the perfect starter for a meal to remember. The appetizer comes prepared on a wooden board and is lined with fried pita, house-baked focaccia slices, red grapes and sweet and savory housemade Sweet Magnolia Brown Ale honey mustard.

There’s no wrong choice at Bluewater Grille, and their Spicy Tuna Tacos have quickly proven to be one of the new menu’s most popular selections. With shells crafted from egg roll wrappers and filled with their signature blackened ahi tuna, these tacos are topped with miso slaw, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro and sriracha. The heat will satisfy spicy food enthusiasts while not scaring away those with sensitive palates. They’re flavorful and light enough to satisfy as the perfect summer snack.

When it’s time to choose one of

the Bluewater Features, it’s going to be hard passing up on the Bourbon-Glazed Salmon. Seared and brushed with Bluewater’s bourbon glaze, this salmon is sprinkled with red pepper flakes and served on a bed of quinoa and kale. Served with garlic potato wedges, this entrée pairs perfectly with a glass of pinot noir from Bluewater’s revamped wine menu.

Finish the night with the Coconut Key Lime Cheesecake. This sweet and tangy tropical treat is topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with toasted coconut. It’s served atop mixed berry compote and finished with fresh mint.

This summer, Bluewater Grille is bringing the ocean to Chattanooga.

Beat the heat and cool off with fresh produce and in-house prepared seafood. Take a bite, grab a cocktail and relax at Bluewater Grille, an essential Chattanooga dining experience for nine years.

Brewhaus Gastropub Back from the ashes and better than ever

A

t the end of January this year, Brewhaus suffered from something other bars may not have been able to recover from: a kitchen fire. The resulting damage kept the doors closed for five weeks.

Business stopped, the kitchen had to be rebuilt and staff members had to find temporary jobs. But with the doors reopened, the Germaninfluenced gastropub has picked up right where they left off—on top of the Chattanooga pub scene.

Located on Frazier Avenue on the Northshore, Brewhaus is a perfect place to either grab a quick pint or sit down with friends to enjoy evening activities, like Monday night $3 half liters, or Tuesday night live team trivia. Customers have the option to gather round tables inside, take a stool at the bar, or lounge on the back porch, which overlooks picturesque Coolidge Park and the Walnut Street Bridge.

The cuisine centers on traditional German staples made with classic Southern twists. Popular entrées include the Brewhaha, the jäger schnitzel wiener art, and the spaetzle—German-style egg noodles with sautéed garlic, onions and mushrooms tossed in a pepper cream and topped with a garlic brat.

If there’s one thing, however, that captures quintessential GermanAmerican crossover food, it’s the King Ludwig. This hot pork schnitzel sandwich is topped with kraut, Swiss cheese, bacon and served on

a bed of lettuce and finished with brown mustard and apple butter.

You can even add a fried egg, which offers a flavor combination that shouldn’t be legal.

One change to the menu is the addition of Sunday brunch. Southern classics like Biscuits and Gravy and Sourdough French Toast topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon are featured, but the German influence is never too far away. The Schnitzel Biscuits make sure that anyone who has a hankering for something a little different won’t go hungry.

To complement the food, however, there have to be good drinks.

Don’t worry—Brewhaus has you covered. The bar offers a variety of both draft and bottled beers, along with extras such as Crispin blackberry cider for those hot summer days and an array of mixed liquor cocktails. The beer is so

good, in fact, the chefs even incorporate it into some menu items to enhance flavor and add kick. The brie cheese, for example, found on various cheeseburgers and salads is infused with dark ale for a richer taster, and so is the cabbage.

The easiest way to find a beer that suits you best is to try one of the daily flights. These offer 4-oz samples of five seasonal and classic beers, ensuring that everything from coffee-flavored brown ale to peach-kissed lager can be tested.

With chef-driven food and craft beers, Brewhaus offers the best of both worlds. The German flags that hang on the walls pay homage to its overseas culinary partners, whereas the striking view of park and bridge and the busy Frazier Avenue remind you of its proud Chattanoogan heritage. Luckily, customers don’t have to pick between the two, but can enjoy both.

212 Market Leading the green movement with great food

F

rontrunners from the start, 212 Market has ridden the cultural wave of localism with pride and panache. The family-owned restaurant was the first “green certified” restaurant in Tennessee, earned through recycling, composting, and energy-efficient practices. Happily distracted by the delicious food, customers may miss details like UV tinting on the windows and solar panels on the roof.

Manager Jesse Pyron outlined 212 Market’s ongoing practice of sourcing all of its vegetables, meats, and fish as locally and ethically raised as possible, even at a higher cost to the establishment, because buying local also means less fuel consumption.

While we were talking, owner Sally Moses came out to introduce herself and offer me some fresh arugula

to taste.

“Just wait for the heat at the back end,” she enthused, watching me chew. It was spicy and rich, as arugula is meant to be. “We just got that in from our grower today,” she beamed.

Loyal customers appreciate highlighting local farms, which keep springing up. “More little farms than we can even keep track of!” Moses told me, as she hurried back into the kitchen. Pyron agreed.

“We really do have some wonderful growers, like Crabtree Farms and Sequatchie Cove, and new sources popping up all over. It’s similar to our craft beers—new treasures constantly sprouting up out of nowhere.”

As for polenta and grits, when the historic Falls

Mill closed, Moses did her research to find a new nearby source for these favorites: the Logan Turnpike 1916 grist mill near Blairsville in North Georgia.

Come taste the difference details make. The menu changes seasonally, especially the sides, veggies, and sauces, but the overall vibe and pricing stay consistent. I heartily endorse an evening on 212 Market’s eco-friendly terrace sipping their famous seafood bisque with the smooth Southern Pecan Ale sourced from Mississippi’s Lazy Magnolia Brewery.

Rita's Italian Ice Much more than just great Italian ices

F

or four years, Chattanoogans and tourists alike have been lured into Rita’s Italian Ice downtown by scrumptious ices (blended with real fruit), creamy frozen custard, misto shakes (Italian ice swirled with custard) and gelati (frozen custard topped with Italian ice topped with custard).

But now, as owner Rob Pompilio tells us, there’s even more reason to stop in, because the store has partnered with Sandella’s Flatbread Cafe to offer 16 panini, grilled flatbread, wrap and quesadilla items.

They are only the second Rita’s store to embrace the partnership, and Pompilio is delighted. “The flatbread is fat free, with no artificial colors or flavors. It’s simply flour, filtered water, sea salt and yeast, and is prepared fresh in the store,” he says. “We’re using

locally sourced produce. All of the Sandella’s menu items are healthy alternatives and are great for people on the go.”

In fact, he notes, lunch- or dinner-seekers in a hurry can almost always have their food made to order and in their hands to go in less than five minutes.

Of course, it may well take you longer than that to decide what to order. Will it be the Tuscan Chicken panini with grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes and red onions in pesto sauce, topped with melted mozzarella and fresh basil? How about the Brazilian Chicken flatbread, with grilled chicken and mozzarella over a signature Brazilian sauce? Or perhaps the

Turkey & Bacon wrap, with turkey breast, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes with ancho chipotle sauce?

Pompilio adds that Rita’s can also cater your event, providing Sandella’s menu options, Italian ice options or both.

In any case, as summer advances upon us, and thoughts turn to tasty ways to cool down, Rita’s Italian Ice offers some of the best—and now, some of the best light, healthy meals as well.

It’s the

Chattanooga Brewing Co. Great beer and fantastic food, all under one roof

C

hattanooga Brewing Company’s backbone has always been its beer. Pilsner, IPA, Chickbock and Chestnut Street Brown ale are staples on a menu dedicated to its German-influenced roots. The beer speaks for itself—but their best-kept secret may just be the food.

The first things you notice are the silver fermentation tanks that tower over the bartender’s shoulder through the glass wall, reminding you that all of the beer is handmade and crafted. Every pint is made with fresh ingredients to produce an authentic taste.

To add to the staples, though, this summer brings a new option. In honor of Chattanooga F.C.—the team that plays directly across from the bar at Finley Stadium—a light Irish lager named after the team’s

loyal fan base, the Chattahooligans, has been specially created for supporters to enjoy. And just to top things off, EPB has partnered with Chattanooga Brewing Company to live stream all away games exclusively on site.

While the beers largely remain the same, it’s the food that has been slightly tweaked. Traditional favorites like the Pretzel and Cheese and Chickbock Tenders still remain. And, thankfully, so does the Beer Cheese, which features throughout the menu.

All the bread is still baked locally at Bluff View Bakery and the pretzels are made with spent grain (a brewing byproduct) to ensure perfect pub grub flavors.

A few new healthy treats have been added, as well.

Vegetarian options such as Pita Chips and Hummus and a variety of flatbreads ensure that calorie-con-

scious diners don’t have to feel guilty about enjoying an extra pint.

With their beer now sold in over 70 stores throughout the city, Chattanooga Brewing Company has come a long a way from its modest beginnings. Now at a bigger location, the Chestnut Street brewers have ensured that it’s not just their beer that should be considered bar staples, but also their great food.

Come and enjoy dinner, Tue - Sun, and brunch Sat & Sun at the all new Lakeshore Grille, located above Lakeshore Marina in Hixson. You will be treated to great food and drinks with the best “Dam” view on Lake Chickamauga.

We feature, made in house daily, original variations of America’s favorite dishes, including fresh seafood, aged hand cut steaks, hand patties burgers and made to order pastas, all of which are prepared by our Executive Chef.

A

fun way to elevate a family boating weekend is enjoying the great food at Lakeshore Grille. Perched above the marina overlooking Chickamauga Lake, this family-owned-andoperated restaurant delivers on taste.

The crowd-pleasing menu offers hearty, New American classics like a popular Fried Green Tomato stack appetizer, and Pork Pinwheel entrée, stuffed with apple-sage and topped with mushroom brandy sauce.

Executive Chef Robert Barclift recently changed the menu over to their Spring/Summer specialties, including appetizer favorites like bruschetta, shrimp skewers, and mahi tacos topped with a honey-lime-cilantro aioli.

Loyal patrons have enjoyed feasting with a view since the Lakeshore Grille opened its doors. The wraparound windows create a memorable panorama, quickly becoming a popular site for celebrations, especially in the busy month of May. Boaters are back on the warming lake, eager to come up to the restau-

rant for a gourmet burger, including the seasonal Chef’s Weekly Burger.

And holidays this month spark the occasion for brunch, which Lakeshore Grille is famous for.

When we visited, right in front of the restaurant, adjacent to the dock that joins the spacious outdoor seating deck, there were several newly constructed garden boxes with young, healthy plants sprouting. The idea is to incorporate the freshest possible herbs and some vegetables as well into the salads, dressings, and desserts.

I was able to speak with Chef Barclift’s proud father, Richard, about the progress the restaurant has made over the course of its inaugural year. He is proud of the lengths Chattanooga residents will go to for the quality food and setting that Lakeshore Grille provides.

“It may not be right downtown,” Barclift smiled, “but folks come out because it’s an all-around great experience. Great food, specialty drinks, and like our motto says, ‘the best dam view on the lake!’”

The Pickle Barrel Downtown institution stands the test of time

B

ars and restaurants come and go; it’s just the nature of the business. What was new yesterday is a memory tomorrow—but once in a great while, a place comes along with the perfect combination of quality, charm and location to grant it some true longevity. Now in its 33rd year of operation, the Pickle Barrel is just such a place; a Chattanooga icon and beloved local institution that’s so much a part of the downtown scene, it’s hard to imagine Market Street without it.

The restaurant is located in what was once the Plaza Hotel, whose foundation was laid in the late 1800s, and therein lies some of its charm. Composed mostly of flagstone and old wood, the Barrel has the look and feel of an Old World pub, from its beau-

tifully polished wooden bar top to the cozy snugness of the point. An iron spiral staircase delivers you to the upstairs bar/roof garden which is THE place to be on a warm summer evening, particularly during the regularly scheduled performances by local musicians.

When it comes to atmosphere and ambience, this place has it in spades, but it takes a quality menu to deliver the full package. Fortunately, the Barrel has that, too. They offer standard pub fare for snacks and appetizers—but their sandwiches and burgers are where the kitchen really shines. Excellent recipes, fresh ingredients (much of which is sourced locally) and generous portions conspire to make their

kitchen creations some of the best in town.

Top it all off with a full-service bar and it’s easy to see why the pub has been a favorite watering hole for locals for so long, and with the next generation of Bowers taking the reins (young Benjamin has taken over operations, allowing Nick to enjoy a cocktail or two) there’s no reason to suppose the Barrel won’t be serving up some of the best food, drink and atmosphere that Chattanooga has to offer for another 30 years.

T

he Big Table on Cross Street near Signal Mountain is a dining experience that is unique. In a market of commercial chains, The Big Table is a stand-out mom-and-pop restaurant focused on delectable meals and desserts at affordable prices.

One of the signature dishes is the Big Table Salad, which is a luscious salad topped with strawberries, pears, walnuts, and feta cheese in a tangy raspberry vinaigrette dressing. If salad doesn’t pique your taste buds, The Big Table also features a signature crab cake that will have you coming back again and again to this quaint homestyle restaurant.

“We strive to prepare the food from fresh local ingredients with style and great taste,” said Karen Loveless, who co-owns the restaurant with her hus-

band David Loveless. “We are always honored to serve and meet your dining expectations.”

The Big Table prepares casseroles and soups daily from scratch—as well as their incredible desserts. These vary from day to day, but if you get the chance, order their cheese cake, which is one of the finer sweet experiences Chattanooga has to offer.

The restaurant also offers a private dining hall that is available for rent in coordination with their catering services. The venue is perfect for everything from holiday parties, to business meetings, to bridal and baby showers. The Big Table and its dining hall

provide patrons with many catering options; everything from Beef Burgundy to fried turkey.

And of course, not to be forgotten is their Sunday Brunch. With delicious menu items like prime rib and banana pudding, this is some comfort food worth checking out.

Provino's Italian inspiration with a Tuscan vibe

Over 30 years of service

A

ttention to detail and personalized service are primary experiences when dining at Provino’s. Nestled amid the businesses in South Terrace Plaza Shopping Center in Shop 5, Provino’s offers what can only be defined as Italian-inspired comfort food in a cozy setting.

Do not let the word “cozy” mislead; the design of the restaurant is versatile. It is as perfect a place for a romantic and private date as it is a prime location for a large group or party dining experience. A Tuscan vibe infuses the restaurant. Romantic booths are tucked into quiet corners set aside from open rooms that can accommodate up to 80 guests.

But it is the food at Provino’s that brings patrons back time and time again. All the sauces are prepared fresh each day using the finest ingredients. The variety of these offerings is outstanding: garlic alfredo, traditional marinara, rosatella, lemon butter and

wine, meat, and marsala sauces.

There is something on the menu for everybody. Provino’s features everything from the traditional classic spaghetti and lasagna to succulent seafood and tender veal dishes. The entrees are so delicious that it may be difficult to save room for one of Provino’s fine desserts and coffee. But do!

They offer mouth-watering cannoli, panna cotta, tiramisu, and the best risotto crema a person could dream of.

Personalized attention is important to the staff of the restaurant, and kindness and caring about the dining experience shines through in all levels of service. This attentiveness is important to John Miles, General Manager of Provino’s, who has kept the restaurant standards on par for 30 years.

“It makes me feel wonderful to offer satisfying service to our patrons,” Miles said. “Actually, we see our guests more as family.”

Gadzooks Frozen yogurt, gourmet popcorn and delicious custom-made frozen pies

T

he dictionary defines “gadzooks” as an exclamation of surprise, and there’s no doubt you will be pleasantly stunned when walking into Gadzooks’ newest location. Stationed right across from the Walmart on Highway 153 in Hixson, Gadzooks provides the area with some of the most decadent frozen yogurt available. Along with a new location, they now offer gourmet popcorn on their menu.

The family-owned-and-operated establishment first started in Fort Oglethorpe, and quickly made itself known as the area’s favorite dessert destination. With a color scheme boasting purple and grass green, Gadzooks delivers a nostalgic and imaginative escape for those striving to reconnect with the ice cream parlor of yesteryears. After merging with The Popcorn Pantry, Gadzooks changed their address from Georgia to Hixson, Tennessee and reopened with a sleek new look and a revamped menu.

Along with their delectable frozen yogurt selections, Gadzooks now offers gourmet popcorn. Branch out your popcorn taste buds with inventive flavors such as Coconut Lime, Cheddar Pretzel, Jalapeno Cheddar, and Buffalo Spice with Blue Cheese.

Gadzooks provides nearly 50 different flavors on any given day.

Buy three cups of popcorn or 300, you’ve never tasted popcorn until you have tried Gadzooks’ gourmet twist on the timeless treat. Also, don’t pass up the popcorn balls. These satisfying snacks can come plain or decorated with M&Ms. Kids love them,

and adults can’t get enough of their crunchy and salty taste. They’re great for after-school treats, birthday parties, weddings or baby showers.

Who can forget the frozen yogurt?

Since opening in September of 2012, the frozen yogurt at Gadzooks has gained a reputation based on high quality and creative flavors. With many of their selections created with gluten-free yogurt, they make sure that all types of sweet tooths go home happy.

Whether you’re an old-fashioned froyo lover who appreciates the classics, such as strawberry, vanilla, or (triple) chocolate, or an experimenter who searches for something new like Tiger Blood or Sea Salt Caramel Pretzel, Gadzooks has got you covered.

They offer 12 different frozen yogurt selections. Eat the treat in a cup or in one of their traditional waffle cones.

And soon they’ll be offering delivery of both froyo and popcorn for any occasion.

Gadzooks also supports local education. They love partnering with local schools for “Spirit Night.” On these special evenings, schools can register with Gadzooks for a chance to earn 10 percent off every purchase. They also offer schools the opportunity to sell their gourmet popcorn as a fundraiser.

With a new location and a fresh menu, Gadzooks is the perfect summer spot when it’s time to beat the heat with a frozen treat. Their gourmet popcorn works perfectly as the take-home companion to a summer blockbuster movie, and the frozen yogurt is perfect for just about any time of the day. There’s no doubt that their dedicated North Georgia fan base will be road-tripping to Hixson on a regular occasion to once again taste Gadzooks’ creamy frozen yogurt flavors, and they are sure to develop a large Tennessee following as well.

The Chattanooga area will be screaming “Gadzooks!” when they find out about this sweet spot.
