Chef Daniel Lindley

Only the Best

In 2000, Lindley opened St. John's Restaurant in downtown Chattanooga, then opened a small lunch cafe, Cafe Bella, across Market Street. With his brother, he opened The Meeting Place, a sister restaurant to St. John's, before moving to Nashville to open Watermark. In 2009, he moved back to Chattanooga and opened Public House. In May 2014 he opened Il Primo in Riverview, followed by the second Ooltewah location in late 2017.

He visits Chattanooga often to return to his roots. Check out his recipe for his nationally renowned veggie burger under the "American Recipes" tab in Bapa's Cookbook!
