Briana Garza is building community through food in Chattanooga.

Garza is the creator and founder of Chatt Taste: Food Tour, a company dedicated to showcasing the flavors of the city.

On a recent Saturday afternoon, Garza led a vibrant cocktail class at Nightcap, which is a cocktails-and-sweets bar downtown.

Tables were thoughtfully bejeweled with crystal coupes, champagne glasses and individual mise en place that had slivers of dried citrus, Luxardo cherries and simple syrups.
