Honoring Chattanooga restaurants for MICHELIN Guide recognition
State Senator Bo Watson presented Amanda and Erik Niel, owners of Easy Bistro, Little Coyote, and Main Street Meats, an official state resolution honoring their recent recognition by MICHELIN.
The Tennessee General Assembly unanimously adopted the resolution, which was then signed by Governor Bill Lee, according to Senator Watson:
“Erik and Amanda have helped put Chattanooga on the culinary map. Their dedication to excellence has elevated our city's dining scene and brought well-deserved national and international recognition to our community. It was an honor to present them with this official resolution on behalf of the State of Tennessee."
Little Coyote received the MICHELIN Guide’s “Bib Gourmand” distinction, while Easy Bistro and Main Street Meats were recognized as “Recommended Restaurants” in the regional guide.
Senator Watson also presented the Niels with a commemorative letter noting that the resolution is now a “permanent part" of Tennessee’s legislative record, preserved in the Book of Resolutions at the Tennessee State Library and Archives forever.
