Chattanooga Top Chef Tasting Event — 1801 Reggie White Blvd

Local chefs and food vendors set up shop for this tasting showcase, pairing plates with drinks in a format built for sampling widely rather than committing to one meal. It’s a chance to taste what Chattanooga’s culinary scene is doing right now, chef by chef, pairing by pairing.

Go in with an appetite and a plan to graze — small tasting portions mean you can work your way through most of the lineup without filling up too fast. Pair it with whatever drink pairing each chef’s table is pouring, and expect a crowd that’s there to actually talk food, not just eat and move on.
