Food icons
Nine years ago, I was hired to write for the Times Free Press’ Dining Out magazine. I was new to Chattanooga, and the opportunity to explore via the flourishing food scene shaped my perception of the city. For me, the spirit of Chattanooga has always been defined by its food – specifically, its iconic dishes, from chopped wieners to fried chicken to buttermilk pancakes like nowhere else in the world.
Recently, we asked readers to vote on the “most Chattanoogan dish,” and we share the results in our first story below.
