Come on, dish: Which Chattanooga restaurant do you miss the most?

We want to know — which Chattanooga restaurant or meal sparks nostalgia in your heart and belly, and why?

Oh how we miss you, Koch’s Bakery on Broad Street.

We have some amazing restaurants in our city, and we love highlighting new culinary gems at NOOGAtoday. But there have also been so many great, local restaurants that have closed over the years (Koch’s Bakery, we miss you) — and sometimes, we get a little hankering for a meal from a place that no longer exists. Sigh.

This got us thinking about the local restaurants from yesteryear that make our readers feel that same nostalgia — the spots that would be your go-to choices for dining out if they were still around.

Personally, if we had a time machine, we’d head straight to The Farmer’s Daughter for the Tokyo breakfast + blueberry cornmeal pancakes and never look back.

OK, your turn. Which Chattanooga restaurant or meal would you give anything to eat one more time? Let us know and we may feature you in an upcoming newsletter.
