Last minute holiday shoppers will still have the opportunity to shop local this year at the annual Chattanooga Holiday Market. Held at the Chattanooga Convention Center, this weekend will be the final Holiday Market for the season. And not to worry, the nearly 200 vendors have just as many offerings this weekend as they did the first weekend. With live music and holiday decorations, it’s a FREE and easy way to get into the holiday spirit. Shoppers will find everything from stocking stuffers to artisan foods for entertaining. Saturday, 12/16 10am-5pm Chattanooga Convention Center |

Last Sunday, a new Lodge Cast Iron Cook Off winner was announced at the Chattanooga Holiday Market. Chef Andrew Milsap of Old Man Rivers won in this “Originals Only” competition featuring four of Chattanooga’s best Chefs. The competition has grown over the past 25 years, organized and produced by Chattanooga Market. This year, partner and sponsor Lodge Cast Iron featured their USA Enamel products at the event. The Chefs were challenged to create a creative dish both utilizing Lodge products as well as the secret ingredient—a Cocoa Asante chocolate bar. Chef Andrew wooed the judges with his “sea bass three ways”. He is the Chef at local restaurant Old Man Rivers located at the foot of Signal Mountain and offering elevated, local Southern cuisine. The restaurant opened recently in May of 2023. Chef Andrew received a unique, one-of-a-king trophy designed and created by local artist Allen Hampton along with products from Lodge Cast Iron. |
