What’s better than a feast for the eyes? One for your belly, naturally. But what if they could be combined?
On Sunday, April 28, the Scenic City Supper Club will do just that when it hosts its spring event, Shindig at Cooper’s Alley. This installment in the pop-up dining series will see the club’s gourmet multi-course meal served in the Passageways 2.0 alley, a permanent art installation focused on the urban fabric that exists between Chattanooga’s buildings.
Kevin Johnson, executive chef and owner of The Grocery in Charleston, South Carolina.Feeding guests’ stomachs will be Kevin Johnson, executive chef and owner of The Grocery in Charleston, South Carolina, and a two-time James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast. With Johnson at the helm, Supper Clubbers can expect fresh, produce-forward plates that speak to the vibrant foodways of one of the nation’s favorite food cities.
“I find that one of the greatest benefits of being a chef, and having the opportunity to participate in events such as this, is the ability to experience and be inspired by a new community,” said Johnson. “So much of what helps me continue to develop my cooking is exposure to new discoveries – not only by working alongside my peers, but also by delving into restaurants, markets and farms in different areas.
