Season 7, Episode 14, 04/25/2020

This episode features the big impact of small, food businesses to community. Jenna Baker, Chef & Owner of “Cook to be Well”, Knoxville and her “Be Well Box”, and Fred Sauceman on Zarzour’s, Chattanooga, TN.
We visit with Chef and small, food business owner, Jenna Baker. Jenna owns and operates “Eat to Be Well” located in downtown Knoxville. We hear how she came to run this sort of business, what drives her, her focus on plant based foods for better health, and her “Be Well Box” business model that she transitioned into at the start of this year.

On Fred Sauceman’s “Pot Luck Radio” series, he features one of Tennessee’s oldest restaurants - Zarzour’s in Chattanooga, TN. Charlie Zarzour opened this restaurant in 1918, the same year that the Spanish Flu took the life of his wife. In this segment, Fred visits with the late Shirley Fuller, granddaughter of Charlie Zarzour, a pioneering restauranteur and Lebanese immigrant who raised his 5 children as a single father after his wife’s death all the while operating his restaurant.
