Jennifer Rintelman can’t tell you which pie is her favorite.
As co-owner and recipe developer of Fork and Pie Bar, Chattanooga’s newest theme restaurant, located at 811 Market St., she said it’s impossible to pick a favorite of the more than 50 recipes she’s helped develop.
Fork and Pie Bar owners Michael Richardson and Jennifer Rintelman display the restaurant’s casual but classy aesthetic. Loacted at 811 Market St., the restaurant is the former location of a prominent men’s clothing store in the 1950s and 1970s. A lot of the tables, cabinetry and benches were recycled from the shop’s furniture.“It’s always a good sign when every time you make a pie it’s someone’s new favorite,” she said. “They’re all good.”
The new eatery is a full-service lunch and dinner restaurant featuring savory pies and more traditional sweet varieties.
“Since a lot of people think of pie as a treat, they may not realize that we can also put quality local and healthy ingredients inside a pie,” said Rintelman. “It’s basically an entire meal inside a miniature pie.”
