Flourishes New IN THE Year
Last November, The Chef and his Wife’s restaurant family grew with the addition of a new location — and already, that addition is flourishing.
Ah, children grow up so fast. Located in East Brainerd, the new store recently expanded its hours, while both stores expanded their selections of homemade, healthy entrees. Chattanoogans seem to be interested in more low-carb meals and hot soups this time of year, said owner and Executive Chef Timothy Mulderink. In accommodation, The Chef and his Wife’s ever-changing menu features recipes such as lemon dill salmon and baked lemon cod, as well as more than ten rotating soups, with filling options including loaded potato and shrimp and corn chowder.
The Chef also offers a la carte vegetable sides. And now, in all The Chef and his Wife’s recipes, the business is using more local artisan foods from companies such as The Chattanooga Butter Company, Bluff View Bakery, Ooltewah’s Wild and Natural Honey, Simply Southern Bakery and more.
The way The Chef and his Wife works is that every week, Chef Tim and his crew prepare a variety of scratch-made meals. Then, every morning, an updated menu is posted on Facebook, Instagram and its website at thechefandwife. com. These dishes are available fresh or frozen, for in-store pickup or home delivery — which The Chef also recently expanded.
Now, the business offers a free delivery service for any order more than $50, with deliveries available every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“Customers are encouraged to tip their driver and leave a large cooler on the porch if they’re not at home,” said Chef Tim, who knows how hectic life can be for those raising families.
