WHAT'S NEW IN CHATTANOOGA? | Chattanooga food & small businesses

[@JordanEstes]

I live here in Chattanooga, and your videos make me fall in love with the city all over again!

[@DetailxpertsNet1]

Agree! 100%

[@chrisandsara]

Aw yay we are so glad to hear that!!

[@chilibowl65]

Born, raised and live in Chattanooga. You guys make me ashamed of how far behind I am in visiting all the new places, especially restaurants, that I have missed over the years. Complacency is not good. Thank you for waking me up to my own backyard. Looking forward to your international travel videos. Be safe and have fun.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

We love love love your town! The people were so kind, the food was delicious too! You’ve shown us some new places to visit we cannot wait to return! Chris the drone shots were amazing! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊

[@tuu9617]

I was just there last month and plan on coming back in April. I live in Nashville and prefer Chattanooga customer service and charm!

[@chrisandsara]

So so glad you had a great time in our hometown! We may be biased but we think it's definitely a wonderful place to visit!

[@moriahsilvers1245]

Aretha Frankenstein’s is one of my favorite places!!! Whenever people visit for the first time, I automatically take them there. The shrimp and grits is 10/10

[@chrisandsara]

Ah yesss we love it too! Such a great place to bring friends who visit!

[@jmelynn0213]

Hi Chris and Sara! I too live in Chattanooga, been calling it home since 2011! These videos are so helpful for even locals like me because it's just me and my husband too and we love supporting our town's new eats and shops when possible. Thanks so much for sharing! Ps. We are also camper van people! Ours is a VW Westfalia!! (Still being renovated!)love seeing your adventures in yours! PSS. Any other great recommendations for a restaurant with yummy desserts or a birthday dinner in Chattanooga? We may check Hello Monty out! Thanks so much!

[@paulajarman9314]

I live in Chattanooga too and don't know half of whats going on here.

[@laurensmith6155]

There is a new place opened near downtown called The Peach Cobbler Factory. Cool place with many flavors of cobblers and nice ice cream to add

[@jmelynn0213]

Thank you for the suggestions for the Peach cobbler!

[@salanicus]

Best Chattanooga city tour ever. Great way to start our Sunday. We'll need days to see all this. That community work/hotel looks amazing. 😃 thx for shout-out, you guys are great foodies and everything looks yummy. FYI: finally got our ecoflow max pro (love the EV port:) and installing solar, so hope to see you sooner than later. Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim ❤️

[@111HeatherJade]

So glad I found you all (in 2020 during lockdown!) I live in Chattanooga (highland park). I hadn’t heard that Aretha’s reopened and am so looking forward to checking out Monty now as well as that cute book store. Thanks for sharing all this with us!

[@christineoneal666]

My grandparents grew up in the Highland Park (or right by it)...I can't remember what street it was...just know it's really close to the National Cemetary. I live near Hamilton Place Mall and Regal Cinema. I work at the Publix on McCutcheon Rd.

[@chrisandsara]

Aw yay I'm so glad we could help you enjoy Chattanooga even more!!

[@maybeatrap6818]

i wanted to move to Chattanooga for the past year but this just convinced me to make the move. I hope to be down there in the next 7 months! Thank you so much for all of the information!!!

[@claycarpenter8625]

Awesome once again guys!! I could really see like the travel channel giving you guys a show. It's too notch and on that level quality on your own. You guys are the only channel that I watch every video.

[@chrisandsara]

Wow that is way too sweet, thank you! We really love showing off great cities that we are exploring!

[@StephandPete]

Ah! So many new things to try when we’re back! Especially excited for Hello Monty- I spent a summer working at Rob’s precious restaurant, Blue Plate. 🙃

[@juliebaird4539]

My kids love watching your videos. They love seeing things and places they recognize on KZbin.

[@chrisandsara]

Aw that is so sweet, so glad they enjoy them!!

[@FFBpictures]

I love your videos guys! I'm a small business owner in Chattanooga as well! I run Escape Mission Chattanooga in the North Shore area by the Chattanooga Theatre Center, so if you ever want to do an escape room, let me know :)

[@chrisandsara]

That is awesome! We need to stop by!

[@lucycollandra8031]

Loved this video! I live close by and will definitely try some of these places. I don't think it's ever tacky to get a takeout box. When you think about how much work goes into that food from growing it, transporting it, preparing it, and getting it to your table then it would be a sin to just throw it away!

[@brunnie]

Good lord!!! those aren't pancakes, those are CAKES!!! WOW!! Your restaurant review(s) are great. The food looked delicious and your supper choice of places looked amazing, definitely a place I'd like to check out someday. It is very interesting to me to see your city through your eyes, not the typical tourist tour but a hidden gems tour. Thank you and until next time... Travel Safe.

[@cia5585]

Love Chattanooga, Love Tennessee, Love Kramer, Love your Videos

[@katrinahereford7532]

Excited for this resource! My husband is from Signal Mountain. We are in South Carolina right now but we plan to move back to the Chattanooga area in a few years! 💜

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@brandonj7440]

I’m currently building a house there and am from sc too

[@jeffhines979]

LOVE your tours! Perhpas you could also give your fellow vanlifers suggestions on where to boondock or camp in the area?

[@chrisandsara]

That's a great idea!

[@KayJanaeTV]

I’m from Chattanooga and this was on my timeline to watch 💕💕 new subscriber here

[@christalcrawford6542]

I’ve lived here my whole life. Thanks for showing me new places. So, many new spots that it’s hard to keep up.

[@akaemmaclaire]

okay ALREADY my new fave video of y'all's 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks Emma!

[@TimChilders]

Good picks! I haven’t been to Book and Cover yet. But it’s on my list. Hello Monty is incredible! Great staff and food!

[@chrisandsara]

It really is! Hope you're doing well Tim!

[@keithbrookshire]

I live 45 miles south of chattanooga and I used to spend a lot of time there. I gave up on it after several incidences with parking difficulty. I even once received a parking ticket in the mail for a vehicle I didn't own issued on a day I was at work. I think the breaking point for me was when I was trying to find a parking space for Lupi's one afternoon. The city was doing away with parking spaces to make room for some bike lanes. Not because there's a demand for more bike lanes but because the city wants people to ride bikes. This video reminded me a lot of what I loved about Chattanooga. Perhaps I should give it a try again. I do always enjoy your videos..

[@chrisandsara]

So sorry to hear about that! Hopefully things will be better next time you visit! So glad you enjoy our videos, thank you!

[@christincadwell]

I saw y’all driving the other day, and I got so excited. 😂 The “Y” was known as the Pink Y back in the 70s-80s, my church used to meet there. And thank you for telling us about Hello Monty, my friends and I will have to try to out. Hope to see y’all around again!

[@Diana-ze8wu]

My experiences in Chatt are abnormal. I see it through my elderly parents eyes which means I know where the cemeteries and churches are. I didn’t grow up here but have been here for 10+ years and rarely get to see any sites. Part of me wants to flee when the time comes but I know I’ll see it differently one day. It IS beautiful and the weather is much more pleasant than the NE. So, thank you for highlighting the best of the scenic city!

[@chrisandsara]

❤️ glad we could show you around!

[@nogodiggydie]

I've lived in Chattanooga for over 20 years now. I love it here. Keep up the great work.

[@chrisandsara]

We agree, we love living here too! Thank you!

[@lisabeautyskindeep]

Moved here a year ago and love it! Your videos introduced us to amazing places we would not have known about! Thank you!

[@chrisandsara]

Yay we're so glad to hear that!!

[@paulajarman9314]

Just came across your channel today. I live here in Chatt. So many cool places that I Never heard of .

[@dianegerlach2454]

Do you ever get to Chicamauga? I spent four weeks there working on the movie, Farmer and the Belle: Saving Santaland. I drove to Chat to buy items for set design . I remember street names like Gun Barrel Road :))). Loved this and loved the song you played!!!

[@chrisandsara]

Yes! We go biking in Chickamauga a lot! :) Such a beautiful, rural area!

[@OCbyOreanCollier]

Thanks for your videos. I saw this one and because of you as a local Children’s book author , I reached out to book and cover and they are going to be carrying my book. Thanks I love watching your videos

Got excited about the Hello Monty naan, though didn't see that (with sausage) on their current menu. Was it special ordered? Perhaps we'll check them out.

[@chrisandsara]

Hey Tommy! It was the special of the day when we were there, but they said they were adding it to the regular menu soon. Hopefully it will be on there soon! 🤞🏻

[@lisaandrews551]

Thanks for the review of Hello Monty Love rob and Clay your videos are wonderful!!!

[@chrisandsara]

Of course! So glad you love the videos, thanks for watching!

[@DetailxpertsNet1]

Love your video as always! Such great pace on every featured business (especially some air time on those unique doors) and of course the drone shot of the walnut street bridge.

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for watching! So glad you loved it!

[@lacylashay83]

Chattanooga is the best I moved here from Dunlap 4 years ago and absolutely couldn't be happier I'm only 40 mine from my home town but it's far enough to feel a change 💗💗

Had the opportunity to visit Chattanooga between Christmas and New Year’s and had the best time. You live in a beautiful and awesome city. Stumbled upon your article in the local tourism magazine. Congrats on that!

[@chrisandsara]

Yay we're so glad you had fun here, and thank you we really appreciate it!

[@kaneeshakirkland4940]

Hi! Chris and Sarah I recently visited chattanooga however I wasn't able to site see do to the horrible room that I booked to stay in while I was there unfortunately I stayed for one night and left and i would love to try again and visited. so you guys mentioned in your video that common house has a hotel floor so I would like to know how much it is to book a room and also what they look like if you could go back again if that's no trouble I would totally appreciate it and thank you so much for your video.

[@jimwolff5550]

Book and Cover is one of my favorite places! Thanks for highlighting it.

[@chrisandsara]

Same here, we had to get it featured in one of our videos!!

[@mandymorgan6796]

Chef Leboze Mobile Bistro is amazing! He is on Station Street on Saturday nights so if you get a chance next time then you should go visit! 😊

Thanks for the recommendation!

Hey hey! We just moved here a month ago and are also loving it! Have you had a fried moon pie yet? Naked River Brewering and BBQ has them. Highly recommend to try if you haven't already. :)

[@mary-scottbogacz4399]

Oh, also Unknown Caller is one of our FAVORITE spots (maybe you've already been?) As well as Sunshine Adventures, they'll take you in a kayak tour to see the bats come fly of their cave. Okay I'll stop now, I'm sure y'all have a list. ☺️

[@TheMichelex20]

I was born and raised in Chattanooga. My family has been there for generations. You make Chattanooga look cool lol. I’ve been in Atlanta since 2003. I couldn’t wait to high tail it out of there as a young adult. I’ll have to come visit my folks and check it out like a tourist 🤣🤣🤣.

[@chrisandsara]

There's definitely been a lot of fun change to the city the last few years! We definitely recommend checking it all out!

[@joyceterrell3969]

I'm a Great Niece of Bessie Smith. This is her hometown. The Bessie Smith Cultural Center is a beautiful place to visit. On April 9th and 10th you are welcome to attend the annual festival in celebration of her and Chattanooga. Don't miss out on the music 🎶 food and fun. Hope to see you there. Check out the movie 'Bessie ' currently on the internet. Working on another film regarding my famous relative. Peace and love ❤

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for the info! I'm not sure if we will be in town but we will try to make it if we can!

They have done so much work on Common House. I was in there years ago was just a workspace. I have never been to Aretha Frankenstein always had a big line. But you can get the pancake mix at food city. I have to try Hello Monty looks so good. Cheif Rebecca, I have heard so many good things about her. Have you guys tried Pizza Bro's?

Hey Karen! Great question. Their Yemen coffee is amazing (it’s a specialty) but you can’t go wrong with Columbia or Brazil either!

Just tried Hello Monty. Such a great addition to the city.

[@PeterAnkar1]

Hey Chris and Sara. I really enjoyed this video about Chattanooga. It's funny I've lived in Chattanooga my whole life and never really explored Chattanooga to see what's out there. Just a quick question is there an obscure coffee shop that you know of that retains that coffee shop feel where I can go chill and relax and not be bothered. One that would be spaced out. I used to go to Starbucks,but they ruined it when they remodeled all of their shops.

[@chrisandsara]

Hey Peter! I would give Goodman Coffee a try in St Elmo or their Camp House location.

[@PeterAnkar1]

Thanks so much. I remember you guys talking about Goodman in this video. I wish they had a location closer to Gunbarrel.

[@chrisandsara]

My dad worked for TVA as a substation engineer except for several years when he worked on the electric car and van testing program. My early days we lived in Red Bank and we moved to Lakeshore Estates off Highway 58 fairly close to Central. I miss the area especially the lake, Lookout Mountain, Signal Mountain, Fall Creek Falls, where you camped. I loved all the water sports and loved hiking, repelling and lite climbing. I never got into caving there which is a shame since there is so so much of it around. I didn't start caving until after 50 and mostly in water filled caves,
