Why visit Chattanooga? Chattanooga is a hidden gem nestled in Tennessee. This vibrant city offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventures and urban attractions, making it a must-visit destination for anyone. One of the top reasons to visit Chattanooga is its stunning natural beauty, like the iconic Lookout Mountain with breathtaking views of the city and Tennessee River.

We sat down with Executive Chef Bill Heckler of STIR and Massey’s Kitchen in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Located in the historical Chattanooga Choo Choo, STIR has a raw bar, so guests can enjoy a variety of fresh seafood as well as chicken and premium steak entrées. For artisanal flatbreads, Massey's Kitchen is the ultimate hangout spot on Lookout Mountain.
