Jay “Iron Chef” Rivett
Defending the Chattanooga Market
To kick the competition up a notch, this year we’ve invited one of our own to defend the Chattanooga Market — Jay Rivett, a local farmer who has been offering fresh produce & agricultural products all season long! Come out on Sunday and join the fun!

Our congratulations to Anna Scott (chef/owner of Mia Cucina) for her winning of the 2008 FiveStar Food Fight at the Chattanooga Market on Sunday. This year’s trophy was crafted by Charles McFarland, a long-time metal artist at the market.

The competition was terrific this year, and featured fresh-produce and spices available at the Chattanooga Market. All of the competitors used FiveStar Professional Ranges, the finest stoves in the world made here in the Chattanooga metro area. Our thanks go out to all of the celebrity chefs and their Chattanooga restaurants – local is better!
