When we venture to Atlanta, we typically visit the food halls like Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market. We’ve often wondered when Knoxville would get something akin to those bustling food halls. Well, the wait is nearly over as Marble City Market prepares to open to the public on Friday, November 5th!

We were kindly invited to their media preview and were able to sample some of the delicious new cuisine on the way to Knoxville. Marble City Market is an expansive beautifully designed space with 11 restaurant food stalls and the Frank & George’s Bar named in honor of the Regas brothers who’s Knoxville-legendary restaurant, Regas, once called home.
