Our Story

Farm to Table, Fire to Plate

Ember & Oak celebrates the bounty of Tennessee's farms and forests. Our wood-fired kitchen transforms seasonal ingredients into bold, unforgettable dishes.

Every plate tells a story of local partnerships, artisan craftsmanship, and the primal art of cooking over open flame. We source from within 50 miles, supporting our community while delivering the freshest flavors.

Join us for an intimate dining experience where rustic meets refined, and every meal becomes a memory.

Meet Chef Michael Rhodes

James Beard Nominee | Culinary Institute Graduate

Chef Michael brings 20 years of fine dining experience to Chattanooga. Trained in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe, he returned home to Tennessee to celebrate Appalachian ingredients and wood-fire cooking traditions.

His philosophy is simple: respect the ingredient, trust the fire, and let nature guide the plate. Every dish reflects his commitment to sustainability, local sourcing, and bold, honest flavors.

"Cooking with fire connects us to something primal. It's how our ancestors cooked, and it's how I believe food tastes best."
