Contemporary & Urban Cuisine
Tennessee city chefs and restaurant owners teem with creative genius. Find fusion next to humble but delicious southern meat & threes--something to tempt and please every palate and pocketbook.
Saunter into the hip vibe of Circa, downtown Memphis, and experience a meal beautifully prepared as an impressionist painting. Sample the rainbow trout, pecan chicken or Jack Daniel's creme brulee under the massive beams and glass nestled against the Smoky Mountains at Gatlinburg's Park Grill--you'll be back. Select southern sophisticated, but not stuffy, at 212 Market Restaurant in Chattanooga. For an eclectic, international flair, try Zola, Nashville.
