'tacqueria' brings no results. looks like there's a local mini-chain 'mojo burrito' which is 'heads and shoulders above qdoba'... well that's a start. http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=ramen&find_loc=chattanooga%2C+tn&ns=1&ls=9b344c609f9e4fdc#find_desc=peruvian http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=ramen&find_loc=chat... one peruvian restaurant, down the highway. seems like a decent place though. http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=indian&find_loc=chattanooga%2C+tn&ns=1&ls=f6deef80a3f9648d http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=indian&find_loc=cha...

NOPE no jerk chicken to be found anywhere. and you call yourself spice lovers... sigh. http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=ramen&find_loc=chattanooga%2C+tn&ns=1&ls=9b344c609f9e4fdc#find_desc=bbq http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=ramen&find_loc=chat... well, if you move there, i hope you like southern food. cause that's pretty much what you're gonna be eating. it's very difficult for me to not interpret "California doesn't know anything about food" as "People with other points of view don't know anything about the things we like the most here." "hard to find quality bbq in SF or LA" or "we have great southern food" or even "californians can't handle real spice" would have flown a lot better.
