The Chattanoogan Hotel is more than just an out-of-towner’s upscale oasis, centrally located in the Scenic City. It is more than just its on-site restaurant Broad Street Grille, loved by locals and tourists alike, and famous for its “weekender buffets,” featuring seafood on Fridays, Italian on Saturdays and brunch on Sundays.

“[Our buffets] have a lot of traction,” said chef Tanner Marino. “But I wonder if people know that The Foundry has gone in a new direction.”

The Foundry, the hotel’s sleek lounge, recently revamped its food and drink bar menus, said Tanner, creator of the new dishes.

The focus is on small plates, tapas and playful takes on tried-and-true favorites.
