At the Heart of Our Kitchen
Meet Chef Erik Cielo
Chef Erik Cielo’s cooking is built on comfort, simplicity, and the kind of unexpected touch that keeps a meal interesting. With experience that spans the U.S., Mexico, Spain, Dubai, and Hatch Yakitori in Los Angeles, he’s now bringing that spirit to Chattanooga through Torikaya.
"Everything I've learned from kitchens around the world has led me here. Torikaya is my way of bringing Japanese fire, global flavor, and a sense of comfort to Chattanooga."
A Private Event Space Worth Gathering In
