After assisting in the concept and opening of Pizza Bros Chattanooga, Amanda Trotter “realized I liked restaurants and wanted to create my own concept”

She didn’t know at the time what that concept would be but soon realized that once Terra Nostra, one of her favorite places to dine, closed, Chattanooga was missing a place that served tapas.
