Lookout Valley, also known as Tiftonia to longtime Chattanoogans, was once a restaurant desert. This was decades ago, but the main choices were a pizza place, a barbecue restaurant and a Mexican cafe. That was about it. Just as Chattanooga has expanded, so have the choices in Lookout Valley. Living in Soddy-Daisy, I rarely get over to that area of town, but on a recent trip to Nashville, I veered off the interstate after hearing good things about Blackstone Grille.

THE MENU
Like any restaurant with “grill” in its name, the menu at Blackstone Grille has several steak and fish choices, from a 12-ounce rib-eye ($30) to a 7-ounce filet ($38) and bourbon-glazed salmon ($20).
But the photo of the burger looked so delicious and juicy, I just had to give in to temptation.
